Post-Earthquake Reliability of. Highway Network and Probability Importance in the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake

Abstract

The Great Hanshin Earthquake hit Hanshin Area on january 17, 1995. Almost all transportation systems were damaged, including grade separation intersections. In this paper, firstly, the effect and subject for the future are presented. Next, the reliability analysis for highway network system and the method for estimating node-to-node reliability and probability importance of grade separation intersection is presented. Finally, reliability analysis and probability importance analysis are carried out for the Hyogo revival highway network.
