5 WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? Hosseini, S., Barker, K. and Ramirez-Marquez, J.E., A review of definitions and measures of system resilience. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 145, pp
6 WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF RESILIENCE? A resilient infrastructure sector would rapidly recover and reconstitute critical assets, operations, and services with minimum damage and disruption. Infrastructure Security Partnership Resilience is the ability of assets, networks and systems to anticipate, absorb, adapt to and/or rapidly recover from a disruptive event. Cabinet Of fice, UK Infrastructure resilience is the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events National Infrastructure Advisory Council There are almost as many definitions of resilience as there are people defining it. Congressional Research Service Report for Congress 6
7 HOW DO WE MEASURE IT? Hosseini, S., Barker, K. and Ramirez-Marquez, J.E., A review of definitions and measures of system resilience. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 145, pp
8 BEFORE A DISRUPTION Risk Management Planning and preparedness decision making Risk mitigation Henry, D. and J.E. Ramirez-Marquez Generic Metrics and Quantitative Approaches for System Resilience as a Function of Time. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 99(1):

10 RESILIENCE-BASED CIM Component importance measures (CIM) Commonly found in risk and reliability engineering Extended to resilience analysis Impact of a component on the resilience of the system How is the recovery of the entire system impacted by the recovery of a component? Barker, K., J.E. Ramirez-Marquez, and C.M. Rocco Resilience-Based Network Component Importance Measures. Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 117(1), Baroud, H., K. Barker, J.E. Ramirez-Marquez, and C.M. Rocco Importance Measures for Inland Waterway Network Resilience. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation, 62(1):
11 RESILIENCE-BASED CIM CIЯ φ,i t r e j = Network performance loss due to disruption of component i φ x t 0 φ x t 0, x i t d V i j max i φ x t 0 φ x t 0, x i t d V i j Time to full network restoration T φ x t0 V i j Maximum loss among all the components 11

13 ASCE REPORT CARD ON AMERICA S INFRASTRUCTURE The average age of the 84,000 dams in the country is 52 years old By 2020, 70% of the total dams in the United States will be over 50 years old A S C E s R e p o r t C a r d f o r A m e r i c a s I n f r a s t r u c t u r e [ ] 13
14 WHY INLAND WATERWAYS? Over 200 lock chambers Over 566 million tons of freight (~51 million truck trips) Over $152 billion equivalence of goods Low-cost and fuel-efficient freight mode 15-barge grain tow, hauling approximately 22,500 tons of export grain, exits Lock & Dam 13 14
15 PLAN OF ACTION The dam safety engineering practice is moving towards a risk-based decision-making process for the design, rehabilitation, and operation of dams. Risk-based decisions enable the dam owner to better utilize limited funding, and prioritize projects, by focusing on repairs and operational changes that reduce risk to acceptable levels, thus improving community resilience. ASCE s Report Card for America s Infrastructure [2013] 15
16 SIMULATION APPROACH Probability distribution for the magnitude of disruption and speed of recovery Simulation Probability distribution for the resilience based CIM P a < V i j b = P t s < U i j V i j a b f v i j dv i j t r = t s t r f ui j V i j f WЯ F,i t r e j dv i j

29 CONCLUDING REMARKS Conclusions Data-driven and Bayesian methods integrate historical information with the decision maker s opinion Posterior probability distributions are more flexible, comprehensive, and informative for risk-based decision making Prediction accuracy and interpretability of results are highly sensitive to the definition of the prior distribution A better prediction accuracy does not necessarily mean a better interpretability Future Research Investigate a more realistic identification of the prior based on prior knowledge and empirical estimation Study the tradeoff between prediction accuracy and interpretability and decision making 29
