This paper presents a novel resilience-based framework to optimise the scheduling of the
post-disaster recovery actions for road-bridge transportation networks. The methodology …

Transportation network is of vital importance for city maintaining and reconstruction
especially after extreme events. Decisions on the restoration plan of transportation network …

Rural traffic systems have a sparse number of roads and bridges. Under the action of an
earthquake, the damage to bridges in the “road-bridge” transportation network (r-bTN) …

This study develops a decision model to assist bridge authorities in determining a preferred
maintenance prioritization schedule for a degraded bridge network in a community that …

Abstract Building Information Modeling (BIM) has widely become an effective tool in
engineering and construction fields. It could be used in: generating shop drawings; detecting …

Urban transportation infrastructure networks are highly sensitive to natural disasters yet
critical for the success of rescue, recovery and renovation operations; as such, prompt …

Accurate cost estimation in the preliminary stages of project development is critical for
making informed planning decisions. However, such early estimates are typically restricted …

Motorway bridges constitute a major part of modern transportation infrastructure networks.
Interestingly, although foundations substantially influence the bridge construction cost, few …

Bridge construction responds to the need for environmentally friendly design of motorways
and facilitates the passage through sensitive natural areas and the bypassing of urban …

The need for an environmentally friendly design of modern motorways increases the
construction of bridges, which has exhibited substantial overruns above estimated costs …
