This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project will advance our understanding of the influence of socioeconomic factors on differential impacts of infrastructure disruptions to different populations. The impact of the damage caused by natural hazards to critical civil infrastructure systems differs for various population groups because of social-vulnerability factors such as income/class, age, health status, and disability. However, such disproportionate impacts are typically not considered in existing resilience assessment methods. Consequently, infrastructure-management decisions based on the existing methods ignore the differing needs of the most vulnerable populations in communities. This project will explicitly integrate social-vulnerability factors into infrastructure resilience models so that the needs of the most vulnerable populations in communities can be adequately considered in resilience improvement decision-making processes. The award will also support an educational program to train a diverse group of future civil engineers to tackle the challenges faced by the built environment and provide them with the knowledge they need to be effective decision-makers. The community outreach component of the project will increase awareness of issues related to the impact of natural hazards on infrastructure systems and motivate communities to support resilience-improvement policies.The primary research goal of the project is to formulate infrastructure-resilience models and metrics that integrate social-vulnerability factors to guide pre-disaster resilience improvement and post-disaster recovery planning. Specific research objectives include: (i) formulate a new resilience assessment model and system-performance metrics considering social vulnerability, (ii) create a multi-criteria decision-making framework to guide resilience improvement, (iii) formulate a multi-objective resilience-driven optimization model for post-disaster recovery planning, and (iv) evaluate the new methods using testbeds to appraise their ability to inform pre-disaster resilience improvement and post-disaster recovery planning. The new methods will go beyond current resilience models by considering social vulnerability. The project will also provide new resilience-based component-importance metrics to help identify infrastructure components that should be the focus of resilience-improvement actions. Additionally, new knowledge about the effectiveness of various resilience-improvement measures will be gained, which will inform decisions on selecting appropriate measures. Further, the project will help ensure that decision-makers are aware of the social inequities brought by disruptions to infrastructure systems. Such awareness is the first step in ensuring that infrastructure managers explicitly consider social vulnerability in infrastructure systems’ design, operation, and management.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个教师早期职业发展（职业）项目将促进我们对社会经济因素对基础设施中断对不同人群的不同影响的影响的理解。由于社会危害性因素，例如收入/阶级，年龄，健康状况和残疾，由于自然危害对关键民用基础设施系统造成的损害对关键民用基础设施系统的影响。但是，在现有的弹性评估方法中，通常不考虑这种不成比例的影响。因此，基于现有方法的基础架构管理决策忽略了社区中最脆弱人群的不同需求。该项目将明确地将社会风险因素整合到基础架构的弹性模型中，以便可以适当考虑社区中最脆弱的人群的需求，以提高弹性改善决策过程。该奖项还将支持一项教育计划，以培训一群未来土木工程师的潜水者小组，以应对建筑环境所面临的挑战，并为他们提供有效的决策者所需的知识。该项目的社区外展部分将提高人们对与自然危害对基础设施系统和动机社区的影响相关的问题的认识。该项目的主要研究目标是建立基础设施 - 耐力模型，并指导社交效率因素，以指导disasaster pre-vulnerability insecor-vulnerability resasaster Resasaster Reiliention Reiliencation Reseliention Recoriliention Replieliention Resprientional Resprientional Replanitiention Resplation和Post Post-Disasster恢复。特定的研究对象包括：（i）制定一个新的复原力评估模型和考虑社会脆弱性的系统 - 性能指标，（ii）创建一个多标准的决策框架，以指导弹性改善，（iii）制定多个目标恢复性驱动的型号，以提高验证的培训，以评估新方法，以评估新方法，并评估探索方法，并提示其探索方法，并（IV）培训（iv），并（IV）（iv）培训，并（IV）提高（IV），并（iv）和灾后恢复计划。新方法将通过考虑社会脆弱性来超越当前的弹性模型。该项目还将提供新的基于弹性的组件体积指标，以帮助识别基础架构组件，这些基础架构应成为弹性改善动作的重点。此外，将获得有关各种弹性改善措施有效性的新知识，这将为选择适当的措施的决定提供信息。此外，该项目将有助于确保决策者意识到基础设施系统中断带来的社会不平等。这种意识是确保基础架构经理明确考虑基础架构系统设计，操作和管理中的社会脆弱性的第一步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来评估的。
