dc.description.abstract | Copyright © 2022 by the authors. Road networks are regarded as the backbone of transportation systems, which play an important role in the social and economic prosperity of societies. Due to this reason, it is crucial to develop road networks with higher resiliency rates to operate normally during earthquake incidents. In the last decades, the research that tackled the management of disasters for road networks gained great attention, in particular by developing various seismic vulnerability assessment models. Most of those models study a single criterion, e.g., physical damage of road assets, traffic disruption, and/or functionality loss of the network without taking into consideration the combination of different vulnerability criteria. The proposed framework is part of the global seismic vulnerability assessment models that combine fragility functions and vulnerability indices, which is demonstrated by an application in a road network in the city of Penang in Malaysia. In the first step, the fragility functions are developed where their results are used to calculate the Seismic Vulnerability Index (SVI) for roadways by weighting the main investigated parameters. This is followed by investigating the Accessibility Index (AI) model that is employed to assess the accessibility of targeted districts within the investigated area. Subsequently, an integrated approach is employed to generate the emergency evacuation maps to critical service centres by referring to the correlations between vulnerability and the accessibility rates. In conclusion, the results of this study integrate engineering judgment and numerical models to create a comparative study for assessing the performance of road networks and to validate the significance of an integrated seismic assessment on various critical societal sectors, such as improving emergency accessibility and implementing better mitigation strategies for communities living in disaster-prone areas. | en_US |
