With the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, it is critical to develop robust frameworks that address the complex interplay of social, economic, and environmental factors impacting the built environment under extreme events. Seismic events pose significant risks to the built environment, affecting not only the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure systems but also the socioeconomic aspect of the built environment. Also, such impacts are not limited to the immediate aftereffects of the earthquakes but continue to occur during the recovery period. This research area focuses on integrating advanced engineering principles with sustainability and resilience metrics to develop holistic solutions that enhance the reliability and performance of buildings under seismic hazards.
The primary goal of this research topic is to develop a comprehensive framework that enhances the decision-making process for building design and rehabilitation under seismic events. The research topic focuses on the development of advanced methodologies to enhance the reliability, risk assessment, resilience, and sustainability of built environments under seismic events By integrating performance-based methodologies, probabilistic tools, and multi-criteria decision-making, this research aims to optimize building performance, reduce economic losses, and improve environmental sustainability. Recent advances in performance-based earthquake engineering, energy modeling, and life cycle analysis will be leveraged to create a robust tool that can guide stakeholders in making informed decisions that balance safety, cost, and sustainability.
This research topic invites contributions that address various aspects of reliability, risk, resilience, and sustainability of built environments under seismic events. Specific themes include but are not limited to:
• Development and application of probabilistic multi-criteria decision-making frameworks for enhancing structure and infrastructure systems.
• Performance-based earthquake engineering methodologies and their integration with life cycle analysis.
• Case studies demonstrating the application of advanced frameworks in different geographic locations, structural systems, and building envelope systems.
• Use of novel technologies such as machine learning and deep learning to enhance the performance of the built environment.
Authors are encouraged to submit original research, review articles, and case studies that provide insights into innovative approaches for enhancing the reliability, risk management, resilience, and sustainability of buildings in the face of seismic hazards. Manuscripts should present significant advancements, practical implementations, and interdisciplinary approaches to address the complexities of managing built environments under extreme events.
