Seismic resilience of a hospital system
Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2010This paper presents a comprehensive model to quantify disaster resilience of systems that is defined as the capability to sustain functionality and recover from losses generated by extreme events. The model combines loss estimation and recovery models and can be applied to critical facilities (e.g.

Enhancing Seismic Resilience of Water Pipe Networks
Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGCAS Conference on Computing and Sustainable Societies, 2020As disasters such as earthquakes and floods become more frequent and detrimental, it is increasingly important that water infrastructure resilience be strategically enhanced to support post-disaster functionality and recovery. In this paper, we focus on the problem of strategically building seismic-resilient pipe networks to ensure direct water supply ...

Self-Centering Beams with Resilient Seismic Performance
Structures Congress 2014, 2014Although several self-centering seismic systems have been developed, their use in practice has been relatively limited. Complicated or unusual field construction, perceived initial cost premiums, and deformation incompatibility with the gravity framing may be some of the factors restricting their use.
