Preface
Resilience is the ability of a system to bounce back after a crisis. It matters because it gives the system the capacity to resist, so more and more we should look for design-resilient structures, provided that crises cannot be avoided. The book serves as introduction to the concept of Resilience-Based Design (RBD) as an extension of Performance-Based Design and presents some advanced applications for specialists. It provides different state-of-art methodologies to evaluate resilience and clarifies the difference between, vulnerability, resilience, sustainability, and risk. This book is targeted to graduate students
