Functional Resilience Evaluation of Road Tunnels Through Stochastic Event Simulation and Data Analysis
Tunnels are typically one of the most critical links in a transportation network and will greatly undermine network resilience when they lose functionality (either entirely or partially) due to hazardous loading conditions. In this project, the research team proposes to develop a database and software platform for tunnel function loss management, a reliability-based framework to quantitatively assess tunnel functionality loss under variety of loading environments (including ordinary deterioration over time, earthquakes, wave surge, and man-made hazards), and a method to integrate this information into regional transportation network functionality. This will be done through collaboration with local department of transportation (DOT) engineers and collaboration with an NIST-funded Center for Risk-based Community Resilience Planning. The principal investigators (PIs) will also develop a tunnel reliability module in a graduate level reliability classes for education of graduate students.
