Abstract
Assessment of resilience for engineered systems has drawn ample attention from the engineering community in recent years. It has resulted in a significantly large body of literature focusing on pertinent areas of resilience. This article provides a systematic and comprehensive review of the literature addressing resilience assessment of bridges and bridge networks under single hazard and multihazard conditions. Though not much work been performed yet on multihazard resilience of bridges, relevant aspects including combinations of multiple hazards for bridge performance evaluation, methods for loss assessment and approaches taken for post-event recovery are discussed. Furthermore, maintenance is a key component if resilience is assessed in a life-cycle framework. Hence, available maintenance plans and strategies and their probable applications for bridges and bridge networks are discussed. The article concludes with a discussion on the need for further research in the focus area and challenges involved with the same.
