“…In the study, critical road network bridges were chosen to classify the earthquake resistance design for the investigated transportation systems. Shang et al [12] have presented a quantitative framework that was created based on the Chinese seismic design code in order to evaluate the seismic resilience of the hospital systems in China (GB 20011-2010). e framework took into account the hospital's seven most important subsystems, which are the structural system, the electrical components, the mechanical structure, the water supply and sewage system, the healthcare system, and the evacuation system.…”

The main aim of this article is to shed light on the establishment of more resilient road networks, which can operate and interact regularly with the surrounding complex-built environment systems during various natural hazards such as earthquakes. This study is integrating engineering judgment and numerical methods to create a comprehensive evaluation for assessing the accessibility rates for road networks. Moreover, it is validating the significance of integrated seismic assessment on various critical sectors in society, such as improving emergency accessibility and adapting improved mitigation strategies for communities that live in disaster-prone districts. In this respect, this article investigates the seismic vulnerability assessment results, aiming at underpinning the understanding of road network risks by discussing the main results of the calculated probability of damage for various parameters of the roadway and its assets. A comparative study is performed to study the effect of spatially variable ground motions at different damage states for the main investigated four parameters. These extracted comparative results are used for weighting the main parameters to calculate the intrinsic seismic vulnerability index scores. Furthermore, the eccentric seismic vulnerability index is calculated, by following different steps such as assessing the calculated debris width resulting from the collapsed buildings and extracting the accessibility rates through concluding the effective width values. Subsequently, the variation between the accessibility rates is investigated and the integrated seismic risk assessment for a road system is developed with a focus on the integration between asset damage and functionality by generating integrated heat maps that take into consideration the correlation between all the developed vulnerability indices.

“…Meanwhile, research literature analyses hospital resistance to shocks, which can be caused by various adversities: natural hazards, e.g. earthquakes (Cimellaro et al, 2010;Achour et al, 2014;Khanmohammadi et al, 2018;Shang et al, 2020), floods, avalanches (Achour, Price, 2011), climate change risks (Loosemore et al, 2011); man-made disasters, e.g. terrorism, military conflicts, cyber-attacks (Splichalova et al, 2021);and outbreaks, e.g.…”

This article analyses the concept of hospital resilience to natural disasters (earthquakes, global warming, pandemics, and man-made disasters such as war, conflict and cyber-attacks) in the context of theoretical insights in scholarly articles on the concept of resilience, and elements of its perception and other aspects. The research conducted identified that the concept of a resilient hospital encompasses its ability to maintain functionality at minimal resource costs, and reduce the likelihood of shock in the event of various disasters. This capacity to withstand hazard can be of various types, for example, constructive, infrastructural or administrative. The following four elements are most commonly identified levels of resilience: context, disturbance, capacity to deal with disturbance, and reaction to disturbance. A resilient hospital maintains the following characteristics: rapidity, robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, awareness, diversity, self-regulation, unity and adaptiveness. A variety of means are used to amplify resilience to distinct disasters and it is relevant to manage different types of resilience, but the human factor is indisputably essential in this framework.

“…It was first proposed by Bruneau et al (2003) and then optimized by (Cimellaro et al, 2006;Cimellaro et al, 2010). This method has been widely applied to seismic resilience research on various structures and systems, such as hospitals (Cimellaro and Piqué, 2016a;Li et al, 2020;Shang et al, 2020), bridges (Deco et al, 2013;Capacci et al, 2020;Huang and Huang, 2021), buildings (Anwar and Dong, 2020;Yu et al, 2021;Salado Castillo et al, 2022), road networks (Ishibashi et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2021), power distribution systems (Yuan et al, 2018), water distribution systems (Cimellaro et al, 2016b), and community structures (Fu et al, 2021). Although this method can describe the performance changes of a structure during repair periods through the performance curve, it is difficult to fit the performance curve.…”

Improving the seismic resilience of urban underground structures is among the hot topics concerning disaster prevention and the mitigation engineering of underground structures; however, there is still a lack of research on the quantitative methods for the seismic resilience of underground structures. Based on the existing research results of seismic resilience in other fields and combined with the actual situation of subway stations, in this paper, a quantitative framework for the seismic resilience of subway stations was proposed. In this quantitative framework, the seismic resilience of subway stations was described from the functional and economic levels, respectively, with two indices. Also, a recovery model and an indirect economic loss calculation method for subway stations were proposed. Based on the proposed framework, the strategy and mechanism of improving seismic resilience were analyzed. Moreover, a finite element model was established to calculate and analyze the effects of the two strategies on enhancing the seismic resilience of subway stations by adding seismic mitigation measures before earthquakes and accelerating restoration after earthquakes. The results showed that the proposed framework is feasible, as both strategies showed to improve the seismic resilience of a subway station; however, the mechanisms are different. After the installation of seismic mitigation measures before an earthquake, the functional recovery capacity of the station increased by 22–30%, and the economic loss decreased by 43–75%. After the earthquake, by increasing the number of repair workers, the functional recovery capacity increased by 5–25%, and the economic losses decreased by 10–48%.
