Furthermore, it explains a new methodology for measuring resilience based on the theory of springs and qualitatively appraises the resiliency of Minamisanriku town as a case study. Minamisanriku is a tiny coastal town located in the northeastern part of the Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. The town was affected by an earthquake on March 11, 2011, with a magnitude of 9.0, followed by a tsunami. According to the authors’ previously proposed conceptual framework, resilience should be considered by dividing it into three components: onsite capacity, instantaneous survivability, and the recovery potentiality of an area. Each component of the framework depends on two or three factors that can be measured using different indicators and sub-indicators. Onsite capacity is the ability of a given place to withstand a tsunami before it arrives, and it has been considered indispensable for the prevention of a tsunami. Instantaneous survivability is the power to be alive at the point of a disaster climax. Returning speed to its normal daily routines once a catastrophe is over is called recovery potentiality. It is understood that strengthening onsite capacity by moving residences to higher ground, building seawalls and paved roads, relocation of fishing industry infrastructure, and land elevation in Minamisanriku town makes it a benchmark for resilient cities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"4 1","pages":"Pages 1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42391980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The leader-follower relationship inside groups has often been qualitatively characterized in previous models using simple heuristics. However, a general method is lacking to quantitatively explain leadership in an evacuating group. To understand the evolution of single-group dynamics throughout an evacuation, we developed an extended social force model integrated with a group force. A series of single-group evacuations from a room were simulated. An information-theoretic method, transfer entropy (TE), was applied to detect predefined and undeclared leadership among evacuees. The results showed that the predefined leader was correctly detected by TE, suggesting its capability in measuring leadership based on time series of evacuees’ movement information (e.g., velocity and acceleration). When evacuees were grouped together, TE was higher than when they were alone. Leaders presented a monotonically increasing cumulative influence curve over the investigated period, whereas followers showed a diminishing tendency. We found that leadership emergence correlated with evacuees’ spatial positions. The individual located in the foremost part of the group was most likely to become a leader of those in the rear, which concurred with the experimental observations. We observed how a large group split into smaller ones with undeclared leadership during evacuation. These observations were quantitatively verified by TE results.

In this study, the micro-modeling technique is used to simulate the in-plane behavior of load-bearing, soft-brick URM piers. The parameters required in the constitutive models are obtained from material tests and used to develop a calibrated numerical model of the URM piers. Piers with various aspect ratios subjected to various axial stresses are numerically modeled to obtain monotonic and cyclic responses, and their critical displacement limit states are identified. Changes in the failure modes of masonry piers with variations in the aspect ratio and axial stress are established. Load-bearing piers exhibit three distinct failure modes: bed sliding, diagonal shear cracking, and flexure, depending on the aspect ratio and axial stress. The seismic fragility of each pier failure type is examined using nonlinear time history analyses. The results show that bed-sliding piers collapse at extremely low PGA levels. Piers failing through diagonal shear cracking also fail at low PGA levels. Flexural piers can resist seismic forces up to a slightly higher PGA level and thus are the last to collapse. The results also indicate that the effect of uncertainty in ground motions is more significant than the effect of variability in the masonry pier capacities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":62710,"journal":{"name":"安全科学与韧性(英文)","volume":"3 4","pages":"Pages 277-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666449622000317/pdfft?md5=b47b5a2d29761c404fda8d87fb891bb9&pid=1-s2.0-S2666449622000317-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43144273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
