Parametric analysis of resilient design of steel truss bridges
Designing structures to be resilient to extreme loads has become a topic of interest in recent years, which has been triggered by the progressive collapse of structures in the past. Structural failure due to the lack of resilient design has been particularly prevalent in bridges. The failures have …

Cultivating the Desperation Point: Amplifying the Perceptibility of Climate Resilient Design
… to art, this thesis aims to amplify climate-resilient site and ecosystem design methods through the use of art - pavilions, exhibits, sculpture, and art installations –to connect the visitor emotionally with the facts and effects of climate change, with the ultimate goal of persuading …

Cyclone shelters and cyclone resilient design in coastal areas of Bangladesh
… more research and development for a more resilient future. This thesis has five chapters: an introduction that defines the problem, a broad review of settlement history and hazards in coastal Bangladesh, a planning chapter that zooms in on the issues at five spatial scales, followed by a …

Regenerative Aquaculture: Designing for Resilience of the Chesapeake Tidewater
… of community and environment, through the use of resilient design. Resilient design is the process of designing for an uncertain at risk future. Through resilient design, architecture and aquaculture can be combined with food culture to foster stewardship of place. This thesis will explore …

Falling isn't the End: Reimagining Demolition as a Creative Practice
… legal, and cultural systems, relegating resilient design to the periphery or diminishing its potential impact. Collapse, traditionally perceived as failure, is reimagined here as a generative moment—an opportunity to rethink materials, systems, and the narratives that shape them. Central …

Learning through competition : resilience on the Jersey Shore after Rebuild By Design
… increasingly adopting the architecture field's design competition model as a tool for resilience planning. Competitions promise to yield creative design ideas that would not come to light through traditional planning processes, and to foster public interest and support for investment in climate …

The role of landscape architecture in stimulating creative industry: the Pilsen neighborhood, Chicago
… and providing affordable houses for residents, resilient design proposals of adaptive re-use on a small, surgical scale, might now work. This thesis explores programmatic precedents and site analysis to inform urban landscape design. It provides a landscape architectural approach to help …

Reinforcement learning approach for optimizing load shedding and controller parameter tuning in active islanded power systems
… associated with climate change has made the resilient design an important feature for power systems. Incorporating the capability of parts of the power system to operate as active decentralized systems is one way of increasing the resiliency and enhancing the system reliability. This thesis …

Managing the Uncertainty of the Evolution of Requirements Models
… models. Thus, the selection of evolution-resilient design alternatives for the systems is a significant challenge. This dissertation proposes a framework for modeling evolution and reasoning about it and its uncertainty in requirements models to facilitate the decision making process. The …

The development of Intensity Duration Frequency curves under climate change considerations using Remote Sensed rainfall data in Uganda
… (IDF) curves are essential for climate-resilient design, yet their development is constrained by the lack of long-term subdaily rainfall records. The challenge addressed in this research is the limited availability of subdaily and long-term daily rainfall data required to generate IDF …

Revisiting Urban Resilience: Exploring the Resilience of Spatial Structure in Refugee Settlements of Jordanian Cities
… physical, social, and economic challenges. By designing, managing, and planning infrastructure that is resilient to a growing population, urban systems can resist, adapt, and transform. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to study the characteristics of sustainable and resilient …

Preference Construction and Decision-Making for Green Infrastructure: How Do Behavioral Interventions Influence Choice and Neurocognition?
… are intensified by human cognition during the design and decision-making process for infrastructure. Stakeholders involved in the decision-making process for green infrastructure must weigh the perceived risks and benefits that green infrastructure provides. This dissertation aims to better …

A Game Theoretic Approach to Resilient Space System Design
… or even adversarial environments. Space system designers must account for resilience to non-cooperative interactions in the design process while trading resilience and performance against cost. Prior academic work has considered resilience for system design, especially in the context of …

Discerning the role of geodesign in landscape architecture: exploring its relations with systems thinking and resilience and its role in Planning Support System (PSS) technologies
… mounting evidence that an emerging approach – geodesign – can address this problem. Geodesign uses systems thinking to identify and analyze relationships among various levels of complex systems at different spatial and temporal scales. Geodesign, however, is still in its infancy. There is …

The Causeway: Bridging Disaster Relief, Recovery, and Climate Adaptation in the Anton Ruiz Watershed
… of people and place as informed by theorists and designers including J.B. Jackson and Patrick Geddes. My approach works from the scale of the Antón Ruíz watershed to the delta to uncover the historical and contemporary processes that knit people in the region to the land. I identify commonalities …
