Infrastructure Systems and Resilience
Description
This course introduces the principles, methods, and real-world applications involved in building resilient physical infrastructure systems. Students will examine emerging climate-related infrastructure challenges and learn to address them using data-driven, equity-centered, and management-informed approaches. The course integrates technical methods, including damage modeling, network analysis, geospatial analytics, and AI/ML, with socio-economic perspectives, including community vulnerability and stakeholder decision-making. Through case studies and hands-on projects, students will examine how infrastructure systems interact, respond, and recover under disruption and uncertainty. Emphasis is placed on resilience-based planning and design as a foundation for long-term sustainability, equity, and risk reduction.Learning Outcomes
- Explain the concepts of resilience and vulnerability within the context of infrastructure systems.- Analyze the effects of climate-induced hazards on urban infrastructure performance, restoration, and recovery.
- Apply quantitative and computational methods to identify infrastructure damage and evaluate system resilience.
- Design economic and equitable infrastructure adaption and mitigation strategies for resilient infrastructure development.
