Seismic resilience index evaluation for healthcare facilities: A case study of hospital in Tehran

Resilience assessment methods for hospitals subjected to earthquakes: State of the art

“…Furthermore, the number of parameters in the metamodel was reduced from three to two (the seismic input and the number of the available emergency rooms). Niazi et al 51 conducted a study that used DES to calculate the WT as the performance measure of resilience assessment for Imam-Khomeini hospital built in Tehran. In the studies, 51,58 the structural and nonstructural components were assumed to remain undamaged, or their influences on hospital functionality were ignored.…”

The patient arrival rates collected by a Californian hospital during the 1994 Northridge Earthquake were scaled for the WT caculation in References [51,58,87].…”

Favier et al 99 developed an assessment framework for an emergency department from seismic risk, and the total waiting time during a period was adopted as the hospital performance measure.…”

“…In a hospital, departments are usually seen as the basic units, and according to their functions, they can be divided into four categories: medical, diagnostic, patient support, and overhead. 50 Some studies selected critical departments (such as emergency departments [51][52][53] ) to be analyzed as representatives of the multiple hospital functions. In addition to receiving new-arrival patients, as open systems, hospitals need to replenish materials, supplies, and medical resources (medical equipment, devices, and human resources 47 ) from environments to maintain functional operations.…”

“…Ši sritis susideda iš architektūrinių elementų, erdvių bei konstrukcijų projektavimo, kad ligoninės būtų lanksčios, stiprios ir prisitaikytų prie kritinių situacijų [4,18,19]. M. Pishnamazzadeh ir kt.…”
