Abstract
There is an urgent need to improve the resilience of infrastructure assets, including road, rail, marine, power and telecommunication networks, which provide critical services for life in the 21st Century. Around the world this spans the diversity of needs within ‘mega cities’ through to providing ‘lifelines’ from cities through to regional and remote developments. Natural disasters such as wildfire, earthquakes, tornados, floods and hurricanes affect the serviceability of infrastructure assets, and are becoming more intense and frequent in many parts of the world (IPCC, 2021; UN, 2020). Human-induced events such as explosions or accidents can also trigger disaster events, which can then lead to infrastructure operability interruptions and asset failures.
