Is there a way to use fragility curves to assess the damage NOT resulting from breaches but from pluvial floods?

The use of fragility curves is frequently implemented in Earthquake Engineering and in Flood Management. In the latter case, researchers tend to use them to assess the damage to a dam/levee as a...

What is a computationally cheap measure of robustness of a network?

I am trying to determine the robustness of a regular square network of NxN nodes. I am doing this by means of the average node connectivity, which is the average of local node connectivity over...

Any algorithms for spatial clustering that are not sensitive to the dataset distribution?

I have a series of 2D maps with values ranging 0.0 to 1.0 spread all over. The algorithm that produces them is an application of the fractional Brownian motion. Each map measures 101x101pixels or...

Any suggestions on the failure threshold in Complex Networks?

Say we have a complex network made of n sub-networks and m nodes. Some of the sub-networks share some of the m nodes. Say that such complex network (aka Interdependent Network) is under attack,...

Estimated monetary damage from floods: Stage-Damage Curves or Fragility Curves for Railroads?

I am enquiring since, perhaps, someone is aware of either: An empirical equation/model used to assess the damage caused to railroads (both metro and long-distance tracks) by flooding water...
