A three-staged framework for measuring water supply resilience in rural China based on PLS-SEM

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
China suffers from frequent large-scale earthquakes, posing a significant challenge to the development and integrity of its rural water supply system (RWSS). The earthquake resilience of water supply systems is understood to be a function of multifaceted

Seismic Resilience of Steel Frames in High-Seismic Zones

open access: yes, 2019
—Seismic performance of steel moment-resisting frame structures is investigated considering nonlinear soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. 10-, 15-, and 20-story planar building frames with aspect ratio of 3 are designed in accordance with current building codes.

The Role of Seismic Structural Health Monitoring (S2HM) in the Assessment of the Delay Time after Earthquakes

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The concept of seismic resilience has been introduced in the design of buildings in the last decade. In this regard, the delay time may be defined as the time that occurs between the event and the moment the repair process begins. In the literature, only

A Seismic Performance Classification Framework to Provide Increased Seismic Resilience [PDF]

open access: yes, 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).
