In the realm of sustainable advancements, high-tech electronics plants have evolved concomitantly with the innovations in environmentally conscious high-tech manufacturing. Nonetheless, the potential for fires in these establishments presents a profound challenge, jeopardizing both human resources and assets, while also bearing ecological implications. However, difficulty exists in understanding the system composition and fire protection features specific to the production environment. Meanwhile, sustainable development-oriented organizational countermeasures for fire resilience are rarely explored in the operations environment. Through a literature review, hypotheses development, an industrial survey, and PLS-SEM analysis using data from 84 questionnaires, this research aims to fill this gap by analyzing the system composition of high-tech electronics plants and its influence on fire resilience, emphasizing the organizational perspective. This study delves into the fire resilience of high-tech electronics plants, drawing particular attention to the imperative of fire prevention, detection, and mitigation measures. The discourse is framed within the paradigm of design-for-sustainability thinking, underscoring the integration of sustainable practices in enhancing fire resilience. By examining the interplay between various functional and organizational system composition elements, three key aspects are extracted to enhance fire resilience: (1) fire protection design measure improvement, (2) sustainable and fireproof construction facility, and (3) organizational management support. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex nature of high-tech electronics plants, and provide actionable insights for enhancing both fire resilience and sustainable practices in these establishments.

“…The mechanical performance, including vibration modes and natural frequencies of the complicated cable-supported bridges, was mainly obtained using nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis based on the cable element and its stiffness matrix [7,[11][12][13][14][15]. With expressive FE models, a great deal of analyses were conducted for the cable-stayed and suspension bridges under statistical vehicle loads [16], earthquakes [17], typhoons [18,19], and even fire risks [20]. However, the accuracy of FE models needs to be verified, and the strength degradation for the structures was not taken into consideration in part of the previously constructed bridges.…”

Compared with common bridges, large-span cable-supported bridges contain more components, are located in a more complex environment, and play a more important role in traffic system sustainability. Throughout the service life, it is more necessary to evaluate their safety, functionality, and environmental status. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation system is proposed to fill the gap using advanced sensor-guided structural health monitoring data and probability-based digital twins. Safety evaluation is the basis of the system and can be divided into overall and component levels. The former includes an over-limit analysis of main structural responses and degradation identification of dynamic characteristics. The abnormal areas discovered in this phase and the hot spots prompted by prior information during the design process will be checked in the latter. The functional assessment of this system is mainly based on checklist-type inspection and is often carried out together with appearance inspection and non-main structural component detection. Environmental assessment includes the monitoring and analysis of wind fields, temperature, humidity, foundation scour, and traffic flow and is the source of external information in the aforementioned two modules. The temperature and humidity of the example bridges are basically uniformly distributed along the spatial dimension, fluctuating over a period of one day.
