Earthquakes have often led to many damage points throughout the road-network in Japan and America. Therefore, mass travelers can’t be efficiently conducted via the post-quake road-network. Since the road-network is important to maintain the basic life and daily transit after disaster, it is very necessary to develop available reconstruction strategies for the broken road-network. To aid the rec...

extended abstract 1. introduction today, improving and increasing the inhabitant environment quality is the main purpose of the civil planner policies. in this study, the improper location of the physical elements and the urban land uses, the inefficient street network, the compact urban fabric, the high urban density, the improper condition of infrastructures, and the lack of civil open spaces...

Effective lesson learning should reduce the risk of future disasters through well-informed mitigation and preparedness planning. Ensuring the availability and accessibility of accurate and reliable disaster risk information when required entails an efficient system for knowledge sharing. In this regard, an efficient disaster risk management knowledge system is important. This paper highlights t...

This paper presents a new technology and a systematic approach for disaster response and recovery of Critical Physical Infrastructures (CPIs). Our suggested approach is based on using a Mobile Workstation Chariot (MWC) assembled on Segway personal transporter which supports both horizontal and vertical real-time visual data capture and transmission flow, first responders and civil engineers can...

As a result of the increase in natural disaster losses, policy-makers, practitioners, and members of the research community around the world are seeking effective and efficient means of overcoming or minimising them. Although various theoretical constructs are beneficial to understanding the disaster phenomenon and the means of minimising losses, the disaster risk management process becomes les...

This paper proposes an optimization framework for sustainable post-disaster building reconstruction. Based on mathematical optimization, it is intended to provide decision makers with a versatile tool optimize designs and explore the trade-off between costs environmental impact (represented by embodied energy) of alternative materials. The mixed-integer nonlinear model includes analytical that ...
