项目摘要

The physical infrastructure that facilitates the transport of people, freight, waste and utility services, and thus provides the essential support to civilised life, is under threat from numerous sources: deterioration through (often extreme) ageing, adverse ground chemistry, surface loading or stress relief due to open-cut interventions; severely increased demand; ever changing (different, or altered) demands; terrorism; the effects of climate change; funding constraints and severe natural hazards (extreme weather events, earthquakes, landslides, etc.). Such vulnerability, and the need for resilience in the face of such threats, is recognised widely - see Building Britain's Future17 and the ICE's State of The Nation Report: Defending Critical Infrastructure18 (both 2009), and the aims of the new Infrastructure UK delivery body18. This feasibility study seeks to explore radically different ways of conceptualising, designing, constructing, maintaining, managing, adapting and valuing the physical infrastructure to make it resilient no matter which threats are manifested or how the future develops. In this context resilience refers to the symbiosis existing between infrastructure, management systems and end users.Recent years have witnessed a shift to a more transdisciplinary concept of resilience that integrates the physical (both built and natural) and socio-political aspects of resilience. This change has been crucial because the socio-political and managerial aspects are arguably as important to the attainment of resilience as the physical aspects; resilient engineering also demands a more resilient infrastructural context with regard to the professions and the structures and processes which govern engineering activity.This proposal explores the engineering and social dimensions of resilience research needed to bring about radical changes in thinking and practice for an assured future in the face of multiple challenges. The following represent two core resilience themes at the interface of engineering, spatial planning and social science, from which feasibility studies to address key challenges will emerge via a series of workshops. The tangible manifestation lies in Local Area Agreements - a set of 32 centrally-approved and locally-implemented performance indicators linking engineered solutions, mechanisms for adoption, behavioural adaptation and education.1. Bespoke local utility infrastructures for resilient communities2. The role of transport in societal resilienceThe research team draws from five major research groups at the University of Birmingham, all of whom are addressing core themes of infrastructure and resilience. The team is supported by innovative thinkers drawn from the stakeholder community, both practitioners and policy makers. The primary themes to be studied are the creation of local utility infrastructures and transport to deliver resilience, recognising the UK shift towards enhancing innovation in the public/private sectors and local decision-making and delivery. Our team will deepen trans-disciplinary research by overcoming the tension that exists between the engineering focus on solutions and the social scientists concern with problems by developing realistic solutions to local problems. This requires exploration of the interface between four communities of practice: engineering and physical sciences, social sciences, private firms and local government. The intention is to identify solutions that reduce costs and enhance delivery, but also to identify new projects that have the potential to create innovative products that have commercial value.

便利人员、货物、废物和公用事业运输，从而为文明生活提供必要支持的有形基础设施正受到多种来源的威胁：（通常是极端）老化、不利的地面化学、露天开采造成的地表负荷或应力缓解;需求急剧增加;不断变化（不同或改变的）需求;恐怖主义;气候变化的影响;资金限制和严重的自然灾害（极端天气事件、地震、山体滑坡等）。这种脆弱性以及面对这种威胁时恢复能力的必要性得到了广泛的认可-见《建设英国的未来》17和ICE的《国家状况报告：保护关键的基础设施结构》18（均为2009年），以及新的英国基础设施交付机构的目标18。这项可行性研究旨在探索概念化、设计、建设、维护、管理、调整和评估物理基础设施的不同方式，使其无论出现何种威胁或未来如何发展都具有弹性。在这方面，复原力是指基础设施、管理系统和最终用户之间存在的共生关系，近年来，人们转向一种更具跨学科性质的复原力概念，将复原力的物质（建筑和自然）和社会政治方面结合起来。这一变化至关重要，因为社会政治和管理方面对实现复原力的重要性可以说与物质方面同等重要;弹性工程还要求在管理工程活动的专业、结构和流程方面建立更具弹性的基础设施环境。本提案探讨了弹性研究的工程和社会层面，这些层面需要带来思维和在面对多重挑战的情况下，为有保障的未来而努力。以下是在工程、空间规划和社会科学的界面上的两个核心复原力主题，将通过一系列研讨会进行可行性研究，以应对关键挑战。具体体现在地方协议中-一套32项中央批准、地方执行的业绩指标，将工程解决方案、采用机制、行为适应和教育联系起来。为弹性社区定制本地公用事业基础设施2。研究团队来自伯明翰大学的五个主要研究小组，他们都在研究基础设施和弹性的核心主题。该小组得到了来自利益攸关方社区的创新思想家的支持，包括从业人员和政策制定者。要研究的主要主题是建立当地公用事业基础设施和交通，以提供弹性，认识到英国转向加强公共/私营部门的创新和地方决策和交付。我们的团队将深化跨学科研究，克服工程学关注解决方案与社会科学家关注问题之间存在的紧张关系，为当地问题制定现实的解决方案。这需要探索四个实践社区之间的接口：工程和物理科学、社会科学、私营公司和地方政府。其目的是确定降低成本和加强交付的解决方案，同时确定有潜力创造具有商业价值的创新产品的新项目。
