Seismic resilience assessment: a case study
, 2022 Abstract The aim of the seismic resilience of a structural system is to prevent, minimize or decrease the damages (loss of life, social, economic, structural, and non-structural damages) that occur due to earthquakes. The seismic resilience of structures is one of the most interesting topics in the earthquake and structural engineering.

Tunable Plug‐and‐Play Meta‐Nanogenerator Materials for Multi‐Range Force Measurements
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The multifunctional and tunable meta‐nanogenerator material system combines a mechanical metamaterial and a triboelectric nanogenerator enabling self‐powered, real‐time force sensing across application‐specific ranges. Geometrical tuning adjusts stiffness and the force sensing range, while modular integration streamlines assembly.

A Framework to Assess the Seismic Resilience of Urban Hospitals
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2019 The phenomenon of hospital functional interruption has been widely observed in the historical moderate-strong earthquakes, indicating that hospital functionality cannot be well considered in the current seismic design methods.

A Seismic Performance Classification Framework to Provide Increased Seismic Resilience [PDF]
, 2014 Several performance measures are being used in modern seismic engineering applications, suggesting that seismic performance could be classified a number of ways. This paper reviews a range of performance measures currently being adopted and then proposes a new seismic performance classification framework based on expected annual losses (EAL).
