Current models that assess infrastructure failure risk are â linear,â and therefore, only consider the direct influence attributed to each factor that defines risk. These models do not consider the undeniable relationships that exist among these parameters. In reality, factors that define risk are interdependent and influence each other in a â non-linearâ fashion through feedback effects. Current infrastructure failure risk assessment models are also static, and do not allow infrastructure managers and decision makers to evaluate the impacts over time, especially the long-term impact of

Abstract:
Critical infrastructure is a term used by governments to describe assets that are essential for the functioning of a modern society and its economy. Most commonly associated with this term are facilities for water supply, oil and gas distribution, power grids, telecommunications, transportation, financial services (banking and finance), and security services (military, police, etc.). Scholarly risk research on critical infrastructures has been motivated by fear of attack since September, 2001.

The purpose of this study is to develop a methodological framework for the multi-risk assessment of road infrastructure systems. Since the network performance is directly linked to the functional states of its physical elements, most efforts are devoted to the derivation of fragility functions for bridges exposed to potential earthquake, flood and ground failure events. Thus, a harmonization effort is required in order to reconcile fragility models and damage scales from different hazard types. The proposed framework starts with the inventory of the various hazard-specific damaging mechanisms

The work is conducted within a new reliability-based approach, in which reliability methods are employed to compute risk. Risk, in this context, means the probability of exceeding monetary loss. Evaluating such probabilities requires probabilistic models for hazards, response, damage, and loss. This motivates the contributions in this thesis, which are summarized as follows: First

Abstract:
Le pergélisol est omniprésent dans l’Arctique et l’Antarctique, et il est présent en haute altitude partout dans le monde. Les communautés et le développement industriel des régions pergélisolées ont besoin d’infrastructures de transport (routes, aéroports, chemins de fer, etc.), sachant que le transport y revêt une importance vitale au niveau social, économique et politique (Regehr, Milligan et Alfaro 2013). Toutefois, les changements climatiques auront des répercussions sur les infrastructures de transport existantes et futures en Alaska de l’ordre de 282 à 550 M$ (2015 USD), selon les scéna

Abstract:
This thesis examines the indirect impact of natural hazards on infrastructure networks. It addresses several key themes and issues for hazard assessment, network modelling and risk assessment using the case study of landslides impacting the national road network in Scotland, United Kingdom. The research follows four distinct stages. First, a landslide susceptibility model is developed using a database of landslide occurrences, spatial data sets and logistic regression. The model outputs indicate the terrain characteristics that are associated with increased landslide potential, including criti

Abstract:
In March 2000, 1 million litres of raw sewage was released into the water system of Maroochy Shire on Queensland’s sunshine coast. This environmental disaster was caused by a disgruntled ex-contractor using a radio transmitter to illicitly access the electronically controlled pumps in the control system. In 2007 CNN screened video footage of an experimental attack against a electrical generator. The attack caused the generator to shake and smoke, visually showing the damage caused by cyber attack. These attacks highlight the importance of securing the control systems which our critical infrast
