Optimizing equity and efficiency in the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 1072-1096, March 2027.
Abstract This study addresses the aerial firefighting resource allocation problem, formulated as the strategic prepositioning of a heterogeneous aerial firefighting fleet across capacity‐constrained airbases. A novel bi‐objective model is proposed that simultaneously optimizes efficiency (aggregate risk‐weighted accessibility) and equity (minimized ...

Beyond Risk Reduction: Leveraging Multiple Resilience Dividend Concept for Transformative Adaptation Planning

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
This paper presents a framework for Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) that proposes shift climate change adaptation from a narrow risk‐focused perspective to a broader, multi‐objective systems approach. By recognizing the diverse range of benefits that adaptation measures can provide, practitioners can go beyond merely avoiding losses.

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 15, Page 4113-4136, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

A Two‐Way Coupled Simulation Framework for the Prediction of Fire‐Induced Damage and Smoke Propagation in a Building

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT The contribution is concerned with a fully coupled simulation methodology for fire‐induced damage in concrete structures. Fire events in buildings not only generate high temperatures and the spreading of smoke gases but also induce significant structural damages of the concrete structure.
