Economic growth, security and sustainability across Europe are at
risk due to ageing railway infrastructure systems. At present, the
majority of such systems are aging and some have even reached their
initial design lives. These issues align with a major challenge in
civil engineering: how to restore and improve urban infrastructure
and built environments. Policy, environmental and physical barriers
must be addressed and overcome. The complex and interconnected
nature of the problem means that there is a need for academia,
industry, communities and governments to work collaboratively. The
challenges posed by extreme events from natural and man-made
disasters are urgent. Rail Infrastructure Resilience: A
Best-Practices Handbook presents developed improvement methods for
rail infrastructure systems, toward resilience to extreme
conditions. It shows how best to use new information in the
engineering design, maintenance, construction and renewal of rail
infrastructure resilience, through knowledge exchange and
capability development. The book presents the outcome of a major
European research project, known as the RISEN project. RISEN aimed
to enhance knowledge creation and transfer using both international
and intersectoral secondment mechanisms among European Advanced
Rail Research Universities and SMEs, and Non-EU, leading rail
universities, providing methodological approaches and practical
tools for restoring and improving railway infrastructure systems
for extreme events. Edited and written by members of this project,
this book will be essential reading for researchers and
practitioners hoping to find practical solutions to the challenges
of rail infrastructure resilience.
