A growing number of structures are built in disaster-prone areas. To this, when a natural or anthropogenic hazard occurs, structures and infrastructure have to be not only capable of withstanding them but they also have to be resilient. In this context, the concept of resilience-based design can be regarded as a prerequisite to enhance the sustainability of modern societies through a multiscale approach: from a single structure scale to an urban environment scale.Top researchers from high-impact universities are members of this research group.
