Reviewer 2 Report

Overall, the structure of the paper is great. I believe you need to provide some further details of the latest research studies on this field. In particular, in section 2 you need to add some text with some reference to the “adaption of engineering systems” on the changes of the environment. This is usually treated as “adaption and recovery of engineering systems” and I believe it needs some reference. Subsections 4.1 and 4.2 are well written. You may need to be expanded with some more references and research on this topic. Subsection 4.3, “optimal recovery of bridge network” also needs some further work. Optimal recovery is a critical and complex step. It would be nice from you to outline any barriers and the complexity behind that procedure.
