The first step exploits the DMCI (<i>dynamic functional modelling of vulnerability and interdependency of critical infrastructure</i>) modelling approach for transportation network characterisation. DMCI reveals the cascading effects under disruption (due to interdependencies), and ranks the road sections according to their criticality (<i>vital node analysis</i> - <i>VNA</i>). The second step uses a quantitative <i>coping capacity index</i> (<i>CCI</i>) to assess in more detail the capacity of operators and first responders to cope with an incidental event coordinating all available resources, in order to respond and rapidly recover service operations managing all the relevant interdependencies. The combination of the two levels of analysis offers more comprehensive insights on a transportation network resilience and its intended use is to guide resilience planning within capacity building programs, at both intra- and inter-organisational levels.

Many of these models use discrete time steps to show how a reduced operability of one infrastructure <i>C</i> at time <i>t</i> will lead at time <i>t</i> + 1 to reductions in all infrastructures to which <i>C</i> distributes its output; and many of them use a standard mode of distribution which will be called proportional. According to a recent result, with this proportional distribution a reduced operability in only one infrastructure will lead to an enduring reduction of <i>all</i> operabilities even after full repairs of all damages. This research replaces this proportional mode by a newly defined prioritised one. It shows that a system with prioritised distribution mode leads in nearly all practical cases to an increased behaviour of the whole system: after repair of all damages, all infrastructures will return <i>automatically</i> to full operability.

In this paper, the chloride ion accelerated corrosion test on the concrete structure of road and bridge engineering is carried out to test the chloride ion concentration in different depths of concrete with special protection and without special protection at different corrosion times, and the effect of special protection is studied to study the diffusion coefficient and chloride ion concentration on the concrete surface of road and bridge engineering. The test results show that the diffusion coefficient of chloride ion in concrete can be reduced by 31.3% and the concentration of chloride ion on concrete surface can be reduced by 22.67% by special protective measures.

The system obtains the data of the load-bearing structure of the prefabricated building through the relevant monitoring equipment and 3D laser scanner. The data processing layer constructs the safety rule base, realises the data format transformation, noise filtering and transmission to the application layer. The application layer realises the damage detection of the load-bearing structure of the prefabricated building through the structure damage detection method based on 3D laser scanning and BIM. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional damage detection system, the system has a higher accuracy of damage detection, which can detect only 0.02 mm long damage in the load-bearing structure of prefabricated buildings.

Earth orbiting satellites are part of the critical space infrastructures. NASA's Global Energy and Water Cycle (GEWEX) surface radiation budget (SRB) shortwave algorithm derives long-term datasets from satellite data of the distribution of the sun's energy to the surface and back to space. This paper presents an analysis framework to describe propagation of input parameter variability to output data results in algorithmic computations, and then quantify the variability in the solution sets. The SRB shortwave algorithm and design of experiments (DOE) methods are utilised to determine significant input parameters and interactions. A sensitivity analysis is also conducted to determine the variability in the output data for each dependent variable varying within their range using Monte Carlo simulation. Journal: Int.

And the physical meaning of the power function parameters has been clarified. Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) has been used as additives to prepare modified asphalt with content of EVA modifier varying from 0% to 9% in increments of 3% by weight of asphalt. Dynamic frequency sweep tests have been conducted on EVA modified asphalt using dynamic shear rheometer at 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, and 60°C. The complex shear modulus and the rutting factor of the asphalt modified by EVA increase with the increase of EVA content and decrease with the increase of temperature. The results indicate that the EVA modified asphalt reduced thermal sensitivity and increased resistance to permanent at high temperatures. Also, the power function parameters of EVA modified asphalt have been studied and analysed based on fractional derivative theory. Journal: Int.

Considering the layout of lane load, the combination of working conditions is calculated, and the stress and deformation of variable cross-section continuous box girder bridge are analysed. The results show that the maximum stress of the bridge generally occurs at the continuous beam span middle section or support, and sometimes the stress value at the vehicle load point is also large. These positions with large stress values should be considered in the design of box girder. The vertical displacement of bridge is small, removing settlement of end support. The maximum vertical displacement of bridge span middle section is 15 mm, and the bridge design scheme is safe, reliable and economical. Journal: Int.

The block diagram of the seamless switch control of the inverter and the mathematical model of the LCL filter are established, and the relationship between the inductance of the power grid, the filter capacitance and the inductance of the rectifying side is determined. Through the operation of two modes of island grid-connected and island grid-connected voltage regulation, the seamless switching control of the new energy inverter is realised. The experimental results show that this method can effectively suppress the transient shock caused by the switching of grid-connection mode and improve the stability of the new energy power generation system.

This method simplifies the structure of complex distribution network, removes the non-concerned nodes in the connection relationship of distribution network, and uses the search method to analyse the distribution network topology, and traverses the distribution network topology nodes through the breadth-first search algorithm. By establishing the fault judgment matrix to locate the faults, an architecture of hierarchical response fault recovery is designed. Membrane computing algorithm is used to restore the hierarchical fault response of distribution network. The experimental results show that the proposed method takes less than 0.8 s to recover from faults and has a shorter recovery time. The response delay is always less than 0.3 ms, and the response delay is low. Journal: Int.
