1、Modelling impacts of natural hazards on interconnected infrastructure networksThe projectThe Aim of this research project is to:1.Understand the extent of direct and indirect impacts/losses relevant to infrastructure2.Develop estimation methods to model the impact of natural hazards on interconnecte
2、d infrastructure3.Provide a framework to better understand the value of infrastructure resilience investments.The primary focus of this project is on public infrastructure.Primary Tasks1.Review existing literature,models and data relating to damage estimation(direct and indirect)as it relates to pub
3、lic infrastructure and Australian natural hazards.2.Develop(or implement)methods to estimate direct and indirect damage to three types of infrastructure and three hazard types.3.Undertake proof-of-concept case studies to demonstrate any models developed.4.Develop a conceptual framework for dealing w
