Seismic resilience of building inventory towards resilient cities
Resilient Cities and Structures, 2022 Resilience of a community after an extreme event depends on the resilience of different infrastructure including buildings. There is no well-established approach to characterize and integrate building resilience for community-level applications. This paper investigates how different potential functionality measures can be used to quantify building ...
