Abstract
The potential seismic risk to the infrastructure of a region
and the consequences of failure have been recognized as
important issues within the last few decades. Damages
to transportation structures during an earthquake often
result in severe disruptions to the transportation systems
of the region, causing major delays and affecting emergency
operations. This paper describes a computational
methodology for evaluating the performance of a transportation
system in an area affected by an earthquake,
utilizing modern computational tools and network analysis
methodology.
