Reihe: Resilience and Sustainability in Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering Systems

With rapid urbanization in developing countries and the emergence of smart systems and integrated intelligent devices, the new generation of infrastructure will be smarter and more efficient. However, due to natural and anthropomorphic hazards, as well as the adverse impact of climate change, civil infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable. Therefore, future-proofing and designing resilience into infrastructure is one of the biggest challenges facing the industry and governments in all developing and industrialized societies. This book provides a comprehensive overview of infrastructure resiliency, new developments in this emerging field and its scopes, including ecology and sustainability, and the challenges involved in building more resilient civil infrastructure systems. Moreover, it introduces a strategic roadmap for effective and efficient methods needed for modeling, designing, and assessing resiliency.



Features:

- Includes contributions from internationally recognized scholars in the emerging field of infrastructure resilience.

- Covers a broad range of topics in infrastructure resilience such as disaster assessment, civil infrastructure and lifeline systems, natural hazard mitigation, and seismic protection.

- Includes practical global case studies and leading-edge research from several countries.

- Presents an interdisciplinary approach in addressing the challenges in the emerging field of infrastructure resilience





Resilience of Critical Infrastructure Systems: Emerging Developments and Future Challenges serves as a valuable resource for practicing professionals, researchers, and advanced students seeking practical, forward-looking guidance.

Prof. Xilin Lu is currently a distinguished professor of civil engineering at Tongji University. He conducted an extensive research at the University of Alberta, Canada, on the punching shear behavior of RC slabs during 1990, and worked as a research associate at the University of Hong Kong from 1991 to 1992, where he investigated the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls with vertical slits. His research area includes dynamic modeling, testing and detailed analysis of complex structures, and seismic design and response control of tall buildings. Professor Lu’s work has resulted in the development of seismic design codes of Shanghai Municipal Government and China National Code. He is the Chief Editor of Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings Journal published by Wiley, he is the vice president of the International Association for Experimental Structural Engineering, a Fellow of the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, and a Member of ASCE. He has published over 100 journal papers, has presented more than 30 keynote or invited lectures at international conferences and has published over 200 papers in international conference proceedings. He received the 2017 Nathan M. Newmark Medal “for pioneering research in the development of dynamic testing, structural seismic design and response control for tall buildings,” as well as “for his commitment to education and professional service”.

Professor Mohammad Noori is a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineering and a recipient of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science Fellowship.
