Abstract:

Roadways and bridges are susceptible to damage from natural and non-natural hazards, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, and age-related deterioration. As these systems are essential for transportation networks and community well-being, understanding their restoration timeline after hazards is crucial for community resilience. This research aimed to gather insights from approximately 1000 county engineers in the United States through an online survey, presenting various damage scenarios and cases. The survey sought feedback on immediate actions, traffic closure strategies, and the impact of changing structural parameters. Results revealed that the majority of immediate action responses involved repairing or replacing components or bridges, with varying timeframes for completion. Partial closures mainly included load and lane restrictions, each with specific timelines. Complete closure preferences leaned towards a fully open option during recovery, with other alternatives being less favored and having shorter timeframes.
