Resilience As Optimization Criterion for the Rehabilitation of Bridges Belonging to a Transportation Network Subject to Earthquake
Publication: Structures Congress 2011
Abstract
This paper deals with the concept of "resilience" and proposes its use as optimization criterion for the rehabilitation of a transportation network subject to earthquake. The most earthquake damage prone components of a transportation network are certainly its bridges; therefore, the proposed approach focuses on bridge rehabilitation interventions. The design variables of the optimization problem are the application times and durations of the interventions on bridges of the network. These durations are determined by the amount of funding invested on each bridge. Hence, the proposed methodology provides the optimal rehabilitation schedule and cost breakdown for all the bridges of the network. A numerical application is presented to illustrate the proposed approach and to show its capabilities.
