Disaster Resilient Infrastructure

2021
Inducting the sustainable infrastructure rating systems enable assessment of the degree to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) compliance (Diaz-Sarachagaa et al. 2016). Day-to-day revenue and profit pressures relegate disaster preparedness to lower priorities. Policy-makers, processors, and community are taking serious note of disaster risk management

Rail Infrastructure Resilience

2022
Risk management of turnout systems is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects through the entire life span, including the phases; construction, operation, and replacement. Operation (mostly of maintenance) differs from the other two steps for two following reasons.

Enhancing infrastructure resilience

This chapter discusses the challenge of designing infrastructure within historic thresholds and the need to adapt for increasingly extreme weather events. It presents a strategic approach for capacity and resilience enhancement, introducing three main types of infrastructure capabilities: absorptive, restorative, and adaptive.
