Summary
This special issue aims to present cutting-edge research that advances the resilience of the built environment against seismic hazards. Traditionally, seismic design has focused primarily on life safety, often accepting significant structural damage and prolonged downtime after major earthquakes. However, modern societal demands increasingly emphasize the need for rapid functionality restoration following seismic events.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
· Advanced materials and techniques for seismic repair and retrofitting
· Performance-based design for post-earthquake functional recovery
· Experimental testing of damaged and rehabilitated structural systems
· Numerical modeling and simulation of repair interventions
· Assessment of residual capacity and repairability after seismic events
· Functional recovery metrics, frameworks, and decision-support tools
· Case studies of repair and recovery from recent earthquakes
· Life-cycle cost and resilience assessment of repairable structures
· Nonstructural components and systems: repair, performance, and recovery
· Interdisciplinary approaches integrating structural engineering, socio-economic considerations, and community resilience
Keywords
seismic resilience, functional recovery, structural repair and retrofitting, performance-based design, post-earthquake assessment
