A practical framework to assess the sustainability and resiliency of civil infrastructure

Research within civil engineering is focusing on newer ideas and philosophies such as sustainability resiliency (S&R). This evident in the development of frameworks for assessing or infrastructures. Several have been developed by researchers to quantify S&R It that are not mutually exclusive, it important assess these aspects at same time able accommodate simultaneous assessments. While there other follow a unified approach assessments, they do account risk hazard part framework. In proposed framework, an attempt was made include assessment gain realistic perspective impact. paper presents explicit steps use along with example using framework earthen dam subjected two types hazards, earthquakes floods. The novel this revolve around simplicity flexibility Major input parameters user-defined, which allows wide range variables be considered when determining overall quality infrastructure.
