This study proposes the implementation of decision making tools in quantifying and ranking resilience initiatives. The objective of this study was to build a flexible mod [...]

The paper is presenting a new artificial time-histories generation model which uses spectrum compatible time-histories, created using a new envelope function that can be [...]

The recent thrust, from both the scientists and policy makers, to increase community resilience identifies lifelines as one of the most important field to intervene on. L [...]

In our society infrastructure data are crucial and research on critical infrastructures is difficult since experiments on real systems cannot be publicized. Virtual citie [...]

Nowadays, the refined models of simulation to evaluate the seismic damage in an urban area are becoming of paramount interest for the scientific community. Regional seism [...]

Downtime –as the time necessary to restore a system’s functionality- is the critical parameter of the recovery process after an abrupt event. This quantity is usually [...]

This paper presents an agent-based evacuation simulation framework in an airport setting. Air transport services have become a nerve system of our society, therefore, air [...]

This paper presents a new methodology to predict the potential damage and physical impacts of earthquake on the built environment through nonlinear dynamic simulations. A [...]

Modern cities are complex organisms, very difficult to control and represent through comprehensive models. Their safety and their resilience cannot be tackled without a f [...]

The 2016 Central Italy earthquake has demonstrated the seismic vulnerability of historical masonry buildings which are typical of the small towns of that area. The majori [...]
