Krishnan, S. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Increasing frequency of climate-related disruptions requires transformational responses over the lifecycles of interconnected urban systems with short- and long-term change dynamics. However, the aftermath of disruptions is often characterised by short-sighted decision-making, neglecting long-term urban shifts. In this study, we present a...journal article 2024

Casali, Y. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Urban areas are dynamic systems, in which different infrastructural, social and economic subsystems continuously co-evolve. As such, disruptions in one system can propagate to another. However, open challenges remain in (i) assessing the long-term implications of change for resilience and (ii) understanding how resilience propagates...journal article 2024

Liezenga, A. M. (author), Verma, T. (author), Mayaud, J. R. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)As cities grow, the benefits of living in them are increasingly unequally distributed. USA cities, in particular, have experienced rapid suburbanization of poverty and decreased levels of access to jobs for transit-dependent and vulnerable communities. The public transit challenges in suburbs call for innovative forms of transit to turn the...journal article 2024

(author), Liang, Liang (author), Wang, Cheng (author), Wang, Chong (author), She, Buxin (author)The switch to renewable power generation is promoted aggressively by government policies, growing investments, consumer preferences, and many other factors. However, high renewable penetration can impose significant challenges to designing and employing measures that enhance power grid resilience. Resilience has been posed as a requirement of...contribution to periodical 2024

Aydin, B.B. (author), Binici, Baris (author), Aktas, Saime Selin (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Tuncay, Kagan (author)Assessment of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures after an earthquake is a challenging task that must somehow relate qualitative and quantitative observations in the plastic hinge regions and the associated residual deformation capacity of damaged structures. Having an estimate available for the remaining drift capacity will result...journal article 2024

Krishnan, S. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)Climate change is one of the main drivers of uncertainty in urban planning, but only a few studies systematically address these uncertainties, especially in the long term. Urban resilience theory presents principles to manage uncertainty but largely focuses on individual urban systems rather than complex interdependent dynamics. Further, most...journal article 2023

Aydin, N.Y. (author), Yigitbasi, Emre (author), Casali, Y. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Rapid urbanization has posed challenges to accessibility to critical services that require in-depth analysis. Complex networks theory has been used to evaluate the evolution of network topologies or the overall accessibility of transportation systems. However, topological metrics to explain the temporal changes in accessibility levels do not...journal article 2023

Designing resilient and economically viable water distribution systems: A Multi-dimensional approachCassottana, Beatrice (author), Balakrishnan, Srijith (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Sansavini, Giovanni (author)Enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure systems requires substantial investment and entails trade-offs between environmental and economic benefits. To this aim, we propose a methodological framework that combines resilience and economic analyses and assesses the economic viability of alternative resilience designs for a Water...journal article 2023

Twohig, Cian (author), Casali, Y. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author)Increasing urbanization, impervious space, and the impact of climate change are threatening the future of cities. Nature-based solutions, specifically urban green infrastructures, are seen as a sustainable strategy to increase resilience against extreme weather events, including the escalating occurrence of stormwater runoff flooding....journal article 2022

Aydin, B.E. (author), Oude Essink, Gualbert H.P. (author), Delsman, Joost R. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)A significant increase in surface water salinization in low-lying deltas is expected globally due to saline groundwater exfiltration driven by rising sea levels and decreasing freshwater availability. Sustaining fresh water-dependent agriculture in such areas will entail an increased demand for fresh water flushing. Unfortunately, the...journal article 2022

Aydin, B.B. (author), Binici, Baris (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author), Tuncay, Kagan (author)Significant infill wall damage in reinforced concrete frame buildings was observed in the past earthquakes. A vast number of numerical approaches have been proposed to estimate the non-linear behavior of infilled frames at different scales. Mesoscale lattice models were successfully used in the past to simulate the behavior of reinforced...journal article 2022

Aydin, N.Y. (author), Krishnan, S. (author), Yu, H. (author), Comes, M. (author)Cities are complex socio-technical systems (STSs) under tremendous stress due to climate change. To incorporate resilience into urban plans and move towards evidence-based long-term decision-making, we must unravel complex land-use dynamics and the effect of climate uncertainties on cities. Currently, land-use dynamics are explored through...conference paper 2022

Casali, Y. (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Comes, M. (author)The Covid19 crisis has highlighted once more that socio-economic inequalities are a main driver of vulnerability. Especially in densely populated urban areas, however, these inequalities can drastically change even within neighbourhoods. To better prepare for urban crises, more granular techniques are needed to assess these vulnerabilities, and...conference paper 2021

Cassottana, Beatrice (author), Aydin, N.Y. (author), Tang, Loon Ching (author)The resilience of water distribution systems (WDSs) has gained increasing attention in recent years. Various performance loss and recovery behaviors have been observed for WDSs subject to disruptions. However, a model for their characterization, which could provide further insight for resilience assessment and enhancement, is still lacking....journal article 2021
