Resilience-Based Earthquake Design

Resilience-Based Earthquake Design focuses on creating buildings and infrastructure that not only withstand earthquakes but also recover quickly afterward. It emphasizes flexibility, durability, and safety, aiming to minimize damage and disruption. This approach involves thoughtful planning and construction methods to ensure structures can absorb seismic energy, protect occupants, and be repaired or made operational swiftly following an event. The goal is a resilient community where the impact of earthquakes is reduced, recovery times are shortened, and essential functions continue with minimal interruption.
