Social resilience of post-earthquake Bam
… played by the evolution of institutions in the post-earthquake reconstruction period in shaping resilience. Through studying the reconstruction process of Bam for six years (from 2004 to 2010) the research explains the dynamics of institutional interactions of different agents and organizations …

Factors Influencing the Post-Earthquake Shear Strength
… recent failures initiated in clay layers after earthquakes have emphasized the need to study the cyclic and post-cyclic behavior of these materials. Moreover, if strength loss as a result of cyclic loading were to occur in the material comprising the dam and/or dam foundation, the consequences …

Post-Earthquake Damage Repair and Probabilistic Damage Control Approach for Reinforced Concrete Bridges
The main objectives of the study were to develop post-earthquake repair methods using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and probabilistic damage control approach (PDCA) for reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. To develop repair methods, first repair objectives were defined. To define repair …

A computational framework for modelling post-earthquake building damage, loss of functionality and recovery
Large earthquakes often cause significant socio-economic disruptions to communities that last beyond physical damage to buildings and infrastructure. In both New Zealand and international contexts, this has prompted a shift in seismic design paradigm from a sole focus on life safety to approaches …

Adaptation to rural transformation: a place-based investigation into post-earthquake permanent housing projects in Eastern Turkey
… the question of ‘How has the implementations of post-earthquake reconstruction affected rural communities and changed the built environment of rural eastern Turkey?’ with reference to the socio-economic and physical vulnerability of rural population in the Eastern Anatolian Region. The region has …

Rural risk reduction in Mexico : making national plans for post-earthquake reconstruction more effective at the local level
In September 2017, two severe earthquakes hit Mexico, killing hundreds of people and destroying thousand of structures, including houses, schools, churches, and other buildings. As a consequence, 18,851 settlements were declared disaster areas (DOF. 2017); 96% of those settlements are rancherías -- …
