Improving the Earthquake Resilience of Buildings The worst case appr
Engineers are always interested in the worst-case scenario. One of the most important and challenging missions of structural engineers may be to narrow the range of unexpected incidents in building structural design. Redundancy, robustness and resilience

Preface
Engineers are always interested in the worst-case scenario. The seismic design of buildings should ensure structural safety against the worst possible future earthquakes. The features of this monograph are: (1) Consideration of elastic–plastic behavior of building structures in the critical excitation method for improved building-earthquake resilience, (2) Consideration of uncertainties of structural parameters in structural control and base-i
