Enhancement of Post-Earthquake Resilience of Bridge Networks with Prioritization and Accelerated Repair Strategies
Highway networks can sustain extensive damage after extreme events such as earthquakes. Bridges are known as the most vulnerable component of the highway network, and their failure may result in lengthy service disruptions that can hinder the daily activities in the region. It is important to increase the resilience of the network by planning effective repair and recovery strategies that will expedite reconstruction of the network and further enhance its resilience. The repair process for the bridges can be lengthy. To counteract this, bridge repair acceleration techniques can be applied in order to shorten the repair time and restore the network to an acceptable level of functionality. Competitive bidding and daily incentives for finishing ahead of the schedule will decrease the repair time. This paper aims to show the applicability and benefits of incentivizing and accelerated bridge construction techniques in recovery actions after extreme events. It is shown that, although carrying a larger construction cost, these techniques reduce the indirect costs associated with network disruption.
