Abstract
Flash floods in dry or semi-dry environments present substantial hazards impacting millions of people worldwide. In the face of increasing environmental uncertainties caused by climate change and urbanization, the construction industry is facing unprecedented challenges. This study aims to conduct a thorough investigation of resilience in the construction industry, specifically in relation to flooding, striving to bridge a gap in a field with limited prior work. The study presents novel approaches by identifying and classifying areas according to their susceptibility to flooding, conducting a comprehensive examination of current flood-resilient structures, materials. An essential aspect of the study entails conducting a cost analysis to compare different flood-proofing techniques that have been proposed. Furthermore, the quantification of resilience was established by leveraging robustness as a central resilience key factor. This approach involved a meticulous analysis of various resilience key factors, with a particular emphasis on robustness metrics. By examining the complex aspects of resilience metrics, we establish the foundation for creating a comprehensive framework that assesses not only the system’s capacity to endure impacts but also facilitates the incorporation of various factors that contribute to flood resilience in Egypt. The results of this study provide efficient structural systems and construction materials for various regions, with the goal of improving community resilience to sudden floods. The study’s holistic approach enhances the quality of life, reduces property and life losses, and promotes sustainability in vulnerable communities.
