| Abstract: |
The current paper reports about the progress in the ongoing European project IMPROVER (Improved risk evaluation and implementation of resilience concepts to critical infrastructure), in which a fundamental part is devoted to technological resilience concepts. Within the project a general methodology for resilience evaluation is developed, in which existing concepts in the field of structural engineering are aligned with non-technological domains (e.g. organizational and societal) contributing to resilience. A shift from protection to enhancing resilience leads to a shift in focus from traditional risk management towards crisis management. Some of these issues are exemplified here with the application on bridges as critical infrastructures. |
