Economic functionality is essential for the recovery of cities and communities following disasters. A crucial factor in reducing business disruptions and guaranteeing their continuity is the capacity of employees to resume work. Facilitating the reintegration of employees into the workforce can expedite their post‐disaster recovery process and assist ...

A Comparison of Ground Motion Intensity Measures for Estimating Collapse
This study examines the use of 15 different intensity measures (IMs) for estimating structural collapse using results from incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). IDA results from 54 numerical models were considered, including (i) 12 reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, (ii) 16 RC wall–frame structures and (iii) 26 steel buckling‐restrained braced ...
