Teixeira, Rui (author), Martinez-Pastor, Beatriz (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author), O’Connor, Alan (author)Different emerging threats highlighted the relevance of recovery and adaptation modelling in the functioning of societal systems. However, as modelling of systems becomes more complex, its effort increases challenging the practicality of the engineering analyses required for efficient recovery and adaptation. In the present work, metamodels...journal article 2022

Zhang, Chao (author), Tan, Yiqiu (author), Gao, Y. (author), Fu, Yongkang (author), Li, Jilu (author), Li, Shuai (author), Zhou, Xingye (author)The service performances of asphalt pavement, especially rutting, will be inevitably affected by climate change. However, existing studies have generally focused on the rutting depth and rutting life, and thus became insufficient for comprehensively evaluating the influence of climate change on rutting over the service life. A resilience...journal article 2022

Taberna, A. (author), Filatova, T. (author), Roventini, Andrea (author), Lamperti, Francesco (author)By 2050 about 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic reasons urban centers cluster along coasts, which are prone to climate-induced flooding and sea level rise. To...journal article 2022

van der Voorn, Tom (author), van den Berg, Caroline (author), Quist, J.N. (author), Kok, Kasper (author)The current COVID-19 pandemic has affected societies across the world while its economic impact has cut deeper than any recession since the Second World War. Climate change is potentially an even more disruptive and complex global challenge. Climate change could cause social and economic damage far larger than that caused by COVID-19. The...journal article 2022

Bešinović, Nikola (author), Nassar, R. (author), Szymula, Christopher (author)During railways operations, unplanned events might occur which can result in rail traffic being heavily impacted. The paper proposes a passenger-centred resilience assessment for disruption scenarios which consist of multiple simultaneous disruptions. It combines train traffic operations, passenger flows and network restoration. To evaluate...journal article 2022

Sommese, Raffaele (author), Jonker, Mattijs (author), van der Ham, Jeroen (author), Moura, Giovane C. M. (author)Electronic government (e-gov) enables citizens and residents to digitally interact with their government via the Internet. Underpinning these services is the Internet Domain Name Systems (DNS), which maps e-gov domain names to Internet addresses. Structuring DNS with multiple levels of redundancy that can withstand stress events such as denial...conference paper 2022

Singhvi, Ankita (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), van Oudenhoven, Alexander P.E. (author)In the face of uncertainties around coastal management and climate change, coastal engineering interventions need to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Nature-based solutions and other non-traditional, integrated interventions are gaining traction. However, system-based views are not yet embedded into coastal management strategies....review 2022

Sun, Hao (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Reliability-based and risk-based methods for directing maintenance activities play a critical role in ensuring system safety and reducing unnecessary downtime. Those methods focus on preventive maintenance to avoid component failures and are applicable before unexpected disruptions occur. However, when disruptions are unavoidable, more attention...journal article 2022

De Iuliis, Melissaw (author), Kammouh, O. (author), Cimellaro, Gian Paolo (author)The multitude of uncertainties of both natural and man-made disasters have prompted an increased attention in resilience engineering and disaster management. To overcome the effects of disastrous events, such as economic and social effects, modern communities need to be resilient. Natural disasters are unpredictable and unavoidable. While it is...book chapter 2022

Oehmen, Josef (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)Uncertainty is the third major perspective in understanding and designing engineering systems, along with complexity and human behaviour. Risk, a corollary of uncertainty, is understood as the effect of uncertainty on objectives. When designing engineering systems, you cannot not manage risk - even ignoring risk equates to a decision to accept...book chapter 2022

Chen, C. (author)Process and chemical industrial areas consist of hundreds and even thousands of installations situated next to each other, where quantities of hazardous (e.g., flammable, explosive, toxic) substances are stored, transported, or processed. These installations are mutually linked in terms of the hazard level they pose to each other in the system....doctoral thesis 2021

Tajuddin, N.A. (author), Dabrowski, M.M. (author)Addressing climate change adaptation in the cities of the Global South is crucial as they are the most at risk and, arguably, the least capable of coping with it due to their rapid expansion, informal development, and limited institutional capacity. This paper explores this challenge in the case of Chennai, India, a city which, in recent years,...journal article 2021
