What Ukraine Can Teach the World About Resilience and Civil Engineering
Editors Note: This paper was originally published in the Fall 2023 edition of ISSUES in Science and Technology. ISSUES is a quarterly journal published by the National Academy of Sciences and ASU. The journal is a forum for discussion of public policy related to science and technology. Its content encompasses a broad range of themes and perspectives related to the ways that societies seek to advance knowledge and innovation to achieve social goals.
Lessons from Ukraine for Civil Engineering
The resilience of Ukraine’s infrastructure in the face of both conventional and cyber warfare, as well as attacks on the knowledge systems that underpin its operations, is no doubt rooted in the country’s history. Ukraine has been living with the prospect of warfare and chaos for over a century. This “normal” appears to have produced an agile and flexible infrastructure system that every day shows impressive capacity to adapt.

Lessons from Ukraine’s Resilient Infrastructure
After Russian drones damaged power lines near a nuclear plant in the Ukrainian region of Khmelnytskyi, the president of Ukraine declared that his country’s air defenses and civil systems were preparing for another winter of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
What Ukraine Can Teach the World About Resilience and Civil Engineering
Bringing sociology into civil engineering helps explain how Ukraine’s social and physical systems work together to keep the lights on amid constant attacks. When Russian airstrikes cut off water to 80% of Kyiv at the end of October 2022, utility workers were able to restore the flow within 24 hours. Against a steady barrage of missiles, drones, artillery, and cyberattacks, the country’s infrastructure has proven remarkably resilient.
Social Equity of Bridge Management
Introduction Transportation infrastructure can enable prosperity, but also disproportionately burden underserved and vulnerable communities. Analyses that inform equitable management of our transportation system are imperative and needed by decision-makers (Levitt 2007; Jones and Armanios 2020).
Methodological Framework and Feasibility Study to Assess Social Equity Impacts of the Built Environment
Abstract Civil engineers recognize the need to better address the potential consequences of infrastructure systems on social equity. However, the challenge has been translating social equity concerns into metrics that are usable in engineering analyses. In this case study, the authors aim to identify such metrics that can be subsequently used by engineers who seek to make equity-informed infrastructure construction, replacement, and rehabilitation decisions.
Converting existing transmission corridors to HVDC is an overlooked option for increasing transmission capacity
Significance A sustainable electricity grid will likely need to move large amounts of low-carbon bulk power as part of a strategy to reduce emissions. That will require expansion of transmission capacity, and changes in the topology of the system, even as the use of distributed generation increases. In many cases, maximizing the capacity of existing transmission corridors may best be done by conversion to high-voltage direct current (HVDC).
China overinvested in coal power: Here’s why
Mengjia Ren, Lee Branstetter, Brian Kovak, Daniel Armanios, Jiahai Yuan 16 March 2019 Despite leading the world in clean energy investment in recent years, China continues to engage in massive expansion of coal power thanks to policies that effectively subsidise and (over)incentivise coal power investment. This column examines the effects of the 2014 devolution of authority from the central government to local governments on approvals for coal power projects.
OPINION: "We are facing a fight over intellectual diversity"
In 1912, my great-grandfather donated land and money to build St. Damiana Coptic Orthodox Church in my mother’s village outside of El Fayoum, Egypt. He even had the bell from the church fashioned and imported from Italy. In 2013, just one year after celebrating its centennial anniversary, the church was sacked and burned to the ground. It was part of a spate of church burnings that occurred that year in Egypt.
