Objective_
The sustainability of the infrastructure system in a region, as well as its related resiliency, are important in the long-term or life-cycle viability of the region, especially in those areas under the threats of occasional natural and man-made hazards. The main objective of the proposed symposium is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of information on the existing and emerging technologies to support the analysis of sustainability and resilience of all infrastructure systems, with special emphasis on applications for Taiwan and the Asia region. Also, in light of climate change, the severity of natural hazards in this region, such as earthquakes, typhoons, rain-storms and flooding, and sea-level rise can be expected to increase in intensity.
To achieve sustainability requires knowledge and tools of risk and reliability, as well as life-cycle engineering. In light of unavoidable uncertainties, reliability serves to ensure an acceptable level of system performance whereas life-cycle engineering would ensure long-term sustainability within a specified reliability, and/or acceptable risk with due consideration of potential adverse consequences. Resiliency, on the other hand, requires the development of technology for reasonably rapid recovery from damage or failure of existing infrastructure systems caused by natural or man-made hazards. Both risk & reliability, and life-cycle engineering analysis, therefore, are essential tools also for the study of resiliency.

基礎建設永續發展與復原力國際研討會(ISSRI 2016)為由International Association for Life-Cycle Civil Engineering (IALCCE),與國立台灣科技大學建築科技中心(TBTC)合辦之國際會議。在天然(或人為)災害頻仍的地區,其基礎建設是否具有永續性與良好的災害應變能力,對於該設施的生命周期成本是極為關鍵的因素;且因全球氣候變遷,極端氣候或災害如地震、颱風、大雨、暴雨、洪水和海平面上升等發生的頻率與強度均較往常增加增強,更加凸顯永續性與回復力的重要性。本研討會的主要目為提供一個開放的平台,針對永續性與回復力兩個議題,無論是改良既有或新發展的尖端技術,進行深度的交流;其中,台灣和亞洲地區的應用實例或技術為研討會關注的重點。實現永續發展與回復力所需的知識與技術如風險評估、可靠度分析與生命週期規劃均為研討會交流的重要的子課題。生命週期規劃藉由全生命期間的設計,將期間各項不確定因素以可靠度或風險評估的方式納入考量,以達到永續發展的目標;而回復力強調災害發生時的應變能力與回復時效,為永續發展相關議題近年來的熱門的討論主題,緣此,上述各項議題均為本研討會的議題範疇。
在此背景下,基礎建設永續發展與復原力國際研討會(ISSRI 2016)希望讓各地的工程師和科學家聚集在一起,提出並討論基礎建設永續發展與復原力創新的研究方法和實際應用的狀況。國立臺灣科技大學自成立「營建工程系」與「臺灣建築科技中心」以來即積極針對我國各種土木基礎建設的學術理論與實務應用進行深入研究,並陸續藉大型研討會進行相關的學術與實務交流。此次將藉此良機邀請國內外知名專家學者進行學術研究與經驗分享交換,並展示台灣在基礎建設永續發展與復原力相關領域之研究實力,提升國內相關研究學術地位,讓國際專家有機會瞭解台灣在此一領域的努力成果。

Scope and Coverage_
The important and pertinent technologies for the study of infrastructure sustainability and resiliency, therefore, would include the fields of reliability engineering and risk management, and life-cycle engineering with emphasis on whole life cost and performance. In the presence of uncertainties, the analysis of sustainability of any infrastructure system will necessarily require tools of probabilistic reliability and risk assessments, whereas when subjected to extreme natural or man-made hazards the resilience of the system to recover from potential damage or failure must also be taken into account. In this light, the Symposium will cover a wide range of technological topics that will serve to support sustainability and resiliency. These will include, to name a few, the following:
- Probabilistic hazard analysis;
- Reliability analysis methods;
- Reliability of systems including structures, geotechnical systems, water systems, electrical systems, etc;
- Practical methods for uncertainty modeling and analysis;
- Analysis of consequences of damage or failure from natural disasters;
- Risk analysis;
- Cost analysis, including effects of discount rates;
- Risk management methods;
- Applications of reliability to real engineering systems;
- Illustrations of sustainability of engineering systems – specific system or network of systems, or a region;
- Illustrations of resilience of engineering systems.
