Estimation of Seismic Resilience of Road Infrastructures: An Integrated Approach
The asset management of road infrastructures in zones prone to seismic hazard requires the estimation of the seismic resilience of the network. This involves implications of both structural and transport engineering methods in order to correlate the possible damage of a given structure to the consequence on the entire network. The paper aims at developing a simplified, but still reliable method, for the estimation of the seismic resilience of a road network considering different structures and including a transport module. First, the seismic vulnerability of the structures is defined by means of fragility curves developed with different methods depending on the level of knowledge of the structures. Second, the consequence of the structural damage on the road capacity has been estimated. The different scenarios of road capacity after the seismic event are then included in the traffic module in order to estimate the post earthquake response of the road network.
