Geospatial Assessment of Port Infrastructure and Computational Modeling of Coastal Disasters
… research began with a review of recent natural disasters in the U.S. that shothere was an average of 121 federally declared disasters per year. Ports are critical to every country because they allow for the transport of commodities through that country and even internationally. If a natural …

Pavement Resilience Assessment Using Pavement Condition Data Before and After Hurricane Harvey
Areas located in the coastal regions are frequently exposed to the increasing risk from coastal disasters like storm surges, flooding, erosion, and rising sea levels which directly threaten civil engineering infrastructures, especially the transportation assets. This research is focused on …

SPH Modeling of Solitary Waves and Resulting Hydrodynamic Forces on Vertical and Sloping Walls
… bores that impact and significantly damage coastal structures and buildings located close to the shoreline. The damage induced by such hydraulic bores is often due to structural failure. Examples of devastating coastal disasters are the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, 2005 Hurricane Katrina and …

Geospatial Analysis of the Global Supply Chain and Transportation Infrastructure Considering Extreme Weather, Climate, and Sustainable Energy Policies
… 20.28% in SOx, and 12.17% in CO2. The impact of coastal disasters on the global shipping and supply chain was then conveyed, stressing how resilient infrastructure must be implemented to harden the supply chain to natural disasters and extreme weather events such as tsunamis, hurricanes, and sea …

ISPH Modelling of Solitary Wave Interaction with Permeable Beaches
Coastal areas are vulnerable to natural disasters such as storm surges and tsunamis. Dykes, wave-absorbing blocks, and forests, are typical solutions to mitigate coastal disasters. In coastal engineering, these protections and beaches are considered as porous media. Accurate prediction of wave …

Flood Disaster Resilient Bridge Structures For Sustainable Bridge Management Systems
… disaster. More than 4,400 occurrences of flood disasters have been reported globally between 1900 and 2016. As a result, around seven million people were killed and millions more were displaced. Climate impacts are expected to intensify weather related flooding events, and sea level rise …
