We are pleased to spotlight a major contribution to the field of infrastructure resilience—published in the high-impact journal Reliability Engineering & System Safety (Impact Factor: 9.4).
Titled “A Generalised Flood Resilience Framework for Bridges”, this paper introduces the first scalable, non-location-specific and non-bridge-specific probabilistic flood fragility model. The proposed framework fills a long-standing gap in infrastructure risk modelling and supports resilience planning at scale, particularly across large bridge portfolios facing increasing flood risk due to climate change.
Key Highlights:
- Unified methodology for probabilistic flood fragility assessment
- Scalable and adaptable to various bridge types and locations
- Bridges the gap between risk modelling and real-world resilience planning
- Applicable for portfolio-level infrastructure risk management
