Infrastructure Recovery for Resilience Quantification
Publication: Structures Congress 2017
Abstract
There are over 215 million daily crossings on 61,064 U.S. structurally deficient bridges in need of repair. The U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has rated almost 200,000 bridges, or one out of every three bridges, as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. The annual direct cost of corrosion for highway bridges is estimated to be $13.6 billion (2014 U.S.$). The objective of this project is to provide a proper definition of structural resilience and associated metrics in order to acquire the capability of fully restore the functionality following an extreme event of any structure. For this purpose, the resilience metrics will be reviewed and simplified to develop the measurement science to assess the resilience of structures through the use of risk-based analysis and decision-making methods. The process of recovery will also be exhaustively examined, whether from deliberate attacks, accidents or natural occurring threats or incidents, as it is consider the main basis of resilience. Five case studies will be developed to illustrate the theoretical content of the project.
