ABSTRACT
Chapter 8 provides the general concepts to estimate resilience and sustainability for the management of individual bridges and bridge networks under extreme events. The effects of bridge performance deterioration and hazard-induced damage, and risk mitigation on resilience are investigated. The representative functionality recovery models to compute resilience are provided. Applications of resilience assessment for bridge and bridge network management are provided. Furthermore, this chapter presents the sustainability assessment and optimum bridge network management based on sustainability. The sustainability assessment considers the economic, 197social, and environmental consequences of bridge failures in a holistic manner. Significant applications associated with sustainability assessment and optimum bridge and bridge network management are provided.
