Abstract

Ferroconcrete pipes, used in drainage and water disposal systems of roads, works in conditions, in which the direction of the main tensile stresses is either unknown, or can change during exploitation. One of the ways of solving this problem is using of steel fibrous concrete, i.e. concrete on hydraulic tenacious substances with addition of reinforcing elements in the form of short lengths (fibers). Using of steel fibrous concrete allows to get the construction of low pressure centrifuged pipe for drainage and water disposal systems at places of automobile and railway transport heavy traffic with higher tensile and bending strength, crack resistance for the work under conditions when the direction of the main tensile stresses is unknown. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract

The paper considers the problem of constructing a full group of failure scenarios for physical infrastructures when subjected to cyber attacks (CAs). Physical infrastructures actually are systems of systems, or network of networks [1]. The main idea of the research rests on the assumption, that in order to damage any physical infrastructure by a cyber attack, it has to be able to produce a powerful enough physical impact on the most vulnerable part(s) of the infrastructure. Only civil engineering and industrial structures and installations connected to Internet and World Wide Web are considered. Hence, all infrastructures discussed below have to be elements of the Enterprise IoT or IoT, namely: electrical grids, oil, gas and product pipeline systems, water supply and disposal (waste) systems, rail networks, air traffic control and telecommunications (finance, commerce, business) networks, etc. The paper discusses how to construct a full group of scenarios of physical impacts on an infrastructure and how to calculate reliability, resilience and safety of infrastructures exposed to CAs. This paper should calm down the legitimate concerns of lay people about disclosing vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures, because it raises the awareness and offers infinitely much more to the armor/shield than to the canon/spear. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
