Unified Risk-Based Assessment Framework to Assess Sustainability and Resiliency of Civil Infrastructure

Abstract

Sustainable development, which measures the impact on the environment, economy, and society has become a major focus in research. Civil infrastructure inherently has a direct connection with all three aspects of sustainability. As major climate events pose a threat to infrastructure, the potentiality of failure may increase with non-robust designs. In consideration of risk, as well as the need for sustainable development, a holistic assessment method is required to measure the quality of civil infrastructure. Proposed here is a unified assessment method that balances the resiliency and sustainability of civil infrastructure by the risk of occurrence of catastrophic events
