The Sustainability and Resilience of Infrastructure: Critical Review and Prospects
Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction
ABSTRACT
In the past 20 years, sustainability and resilience of infrastructure have gradually become important research theme in academic fields. To provide a review of infrastructure’s sustainability and resilience, this paper first analyzes the evolution process of sustainability and resilience from general perspective. Through literature analysis summarizes the research status of infrastructure’s sustainability and resilience, respectively, and compares similarities and differences between sustainability and resilience of infrastructure from four aspects: definition, higher frequency keywords, dimensions, and target. Finally, analyzes literatures’ co-keywords situation of infrastructure’s sustainability and resilience between 2005 and 2014 and summarizes three critical scientific issues of infrastructure’s sustainability and resilience in future. This paper has important significance to understand the research frontier and development trend of infrastructure’s sustainability and resilience.
