Graph theory (GT) and complex network theory play an increasingly important role in the
design, operation, and management of water distribution networks (WDNs) and these tasks …

The resilience assessment is crucial for many infrastructures, including water supply and
distribution networks. In particular, the identification of the 'critical'components (nodes or …

The resilience of water distribution networks (WDNs) should be proactively evaluated to
reduce the potential impacts of disruptive events. This study proposes a novel hydraulically …

The resilience evaluation of infrastructures provides an essential basis for resilience
enhancement and disaster mitigation in urban communities. This study presents a seismic …

Self-similar growth and fractality are important properties found in many real-world networks,
which could guide the modeling of network evolution and the anticipation of new links …

This study aimed to examine the fractal properties of the optimal hydraulic gradient surface
(OHGS), a geometrical body that describes the way in which the available energy should be …

This paper presents the results of a vulnerability analysis in different water distribution
system (WDS) benchmarks, performed under a framework based on a graph model that …

Research on fractal networks is a dynamically growing field of network science. A central
issue is to analyze the fractality with the so-called box-covering method. As this problem is …

Water infrastructure systems throughout the United States face compounding challenges
due to aging infrastructure and increasingly extreme and more frequent weather events …

Hydraulic performance assessment and benchmarking of water distribution networks
(WDNs) impose a major challenge to water utilities worldwide. Presently, benchmarking …
