Resilience Based Design
Resilience-based design is a proactive and comprehensive approach to
designing infrastructure, buildings, and systems with the primary objective
of enhancing their ability to withstand and recover from a wide range of
potential hazards and disruptions.

Resilience-based Design for Earthquakes
• Earthquakes are one of the most common
and destructive natural hazards.
• Resilience-based design for earthquakes
includes principles such as redundancy,
diversity, and flexibility.
• Examples include the use of seismic
isolation bearings and modular
components.

Resilience Based Design
The various considerations for resilience-based design of structures:
• Multi-Hazard Approach
• Redundancy and Robustness
• Flexibility and Adaptability
• Emergency Preparedness
• Natural Hazard Mitigation
• Material Selection
• Community Integration
• Risk Assessment
• Post-Disaster Recovery
