“…According to our knowledge, there was only one approach, in which a group of researchers from the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) developed a methodology for the quantification of resilience of buildings against an earthquake disaster (Cimellaro, Reinhorn, and Bruneau 2010). They defined the functionality of a system as a variable ranging from 0 percent to 100 percent, where 0 percent means that no service is available, and 100 percent indicates that there is no degradation in service (Cimellaro, Reinhorn, and Bruneau 2006;Cimellaro 2008b). If a disruption occurs, functionality will suddenly drop to a value below 100 percent.…”

“…Thus, resilience is expressed as an integral of functionality (Bruneau et al 2003;Bruneau and Reinhorn 2007). Cimellaro, Reinhorn, and Bruneau (2010) also claimed that it was possible to describe various types of functionality for different disasters. They assumed that the type of disaster has an effect on the description of functionality.…”

In order to overcome negative consequences of a disaster, buildings and infrastructures need to be resilient. After a disaster occurs, they must get back to their normal operations as quickly as possible. Buildings and infrastructures should incorporate both pre-event (preparedness and mitigation) and post-event (response and recovery) resilience activities to minimize negative effects of a disaster. Quantitative approaches for measuring resilience for buildings and infrastructures need to be developed. A proposed methodology for quantification of resilience of a given building type based on different hurricane categories is presented. The formulation for the resilience quantification is based on a model embedding several distinct parameters (for example, structural loss ratios, conditional probabilities of exceeding for damage states, estimated and actual recovery times, wind speed probability). The proposed resilience formulation is applied to a residential building type selected from HAZUS. Numerical results of resilience for the selected residential building type against Category 1, 2, and 3 hurricanes are presented in a dashboard representation. Resilience performance indicators between different types of buildings, which are identical except for their roof types, have been evaluated in order to present applicability of the proposed methodology.

“…At the occurring of emergencies, indeed, the Hospital buildings are expected to provide the first rescues, becoming the core of the post-emergency organization [3][4][5]. This work is aimed at proposing a synthetic method to evaluate the reliability of the Health network in case of seismic emergency, by including the transportation network.…”
