Seismic Rehabilitation Optimization of Water Pipe Networks Considering Spatial Variabilities of Demand Criticalities and Seismic Ground Motion Intensities

Operation of critical infrastructure facilities such as hospitals, firefighting stations, and disaster shelters are critical during a postearthquake scenario. The serviceability of many such facilities is, in turn, dependent on the proper operation of water-supply systems providing water to these facilities. Due to such dependency of disaster relief systems on water supply, having a resilient water-supply system is even more critical in a...
