An integrated damage modeling and assessment framework for overhead power distribution systems considering tree-failure risks

Qin Lu et al.

Summary: An integrated damage modeling and assessment framework is proposed for the overhead power distribution system (OPDS) considering tree failure risks. The geographical information of trees is extracted using computer vision techniques, and tree failure risk models are developed using tree geographical information combined with other factors. The failure probability of the pole is obtained using physics-based modeling, and the poles and wires are connected for system reliability assessment using connectivity-based theory.

Uncertainty propagation in risk and resilience analysis of hierarchical systems

Armin Tabandeh et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel formulation for uncertainty propagation in risk and resilience analysis of hierarchical systems. The main challenges lie in the complexity of the computational workflow and high-dimensional probability space. The proposed formulation includes a multi-level uncertainty propagation approach to reduce problem dimensionality and a variables-grouping approach to reduce the number of model evaluations.

Reliability assessment framework of deteriorating reinforced concrete bridges subjected to earthquake and pier scour

Jingzhe Ren et al.

Summary: This study assesses the life-cycle probability of survival of a deteriorating reinforced concrete girder bridge subjected to earthquake and pier scour, and establishes a reliability assessment framework for the bridge's service life. The results show that deterioration significantly affects the seismic fragility of the bridge, while pier scour can lengthen the natural period of the bridge and reduce its seismic response. Consideration of multiple hazards together rather than individually is important due to the potential underestimation or overestimation of effects based on the correlation of structural effects induced by multi-hazards.

Post-earthquake resilience assessment and long-term restoration prioritization of transportation network

Yangyang Wu et al.

Summary: Efficient and safe transportation systems are crucial to communities during the long-term recovery period after earthquakes. This study introduces a new methodology for assessing the resilience performance of transportation networks during post-earthquake recovery, integrating traffic efficiency and safety into the assessment and prioritization of recovery. By modeling the traffic performance of partially closed road segments and introducing a resilience indicator, this approach aims to support more risk-informed post-hazard recovery planning.
