Due to the concentrated risk posed by urbanization, cities need to be resistant to unanticipated disasters and quickly recover from them. A city's resilience can be accurately measured through resilience quantification. Many existing examinations have zeroed in on and proposed a few systems on the quantitative proportions of catastrophe flexibility and the comparing research objects incorporate various sorts of debacles, different spaces and numerous levels. The studies on seismic resilience in civil engineering are among the most comprehensive of these research subjects. The dynamics of engineering facilities and engineering-related social and economic functions, such as city-scale engineering, social and economic functionalities and essential functionalities of building, transportation, lifeline and nonphysical subsystems of a city, have been the focus of studies on resilience in civil engineering. Consequently, the framework and specifications for the quantification of disaster resilience of civil engineering systems subjected to earthquakes and other unexpected disasters are developed based on a review of recent resilience studies. The subsystems and methods for assessing cities' disaster resilience are discussed. Resilience limit-state analyses of communities and buildings are also carried out, as are a number of case studies. Urbanization is accompanied by a rapid rise in urban population, which can increase the likelihood of disasters. Recent devastating disasters demonstrate that many cities lack the resilience to withstand and recover from disasters, which frequently result in significant casualties and financial losses.
City-scale engineering • Economic functionalities • Transportation
Since the resilience concept was first proposed, studies on disaster resilience have been conducted for more than 40 years. Methods for assessing robustness and strategies for increasing resilience are included in studies on resilience, which are based on this idea (i.e., robustness and rapidity). Earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and fires are all included in the disaster resilience studies. Engineering, society and the economy are all areas of study, as are the city, community, subsystem and building levels. As a result, it is evident that numerous studies on resilience exist. Additionally, the Resilience-based Earthquake Design Initiative for the Next Generation of Buildings rating system and the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research (SPUR) report are two examples of mature applications of seismic resilience assessment in civil engineering. Hence, in this review, progress made in the versatility evaluation of quakes and different catastrophes in structural designing is surveyed. The dynamics and recovery process of engineering facilities and engineering-related social and economic functions under disaster shock are the primary focus of resilience-related studies in civil engineering. This study focuses on the critical functions of building, transportation, lifeline and nonphysical subsystems, as well as the engineering, social and economic functions of a city as a whole. Additionally, an investigation is conducted into the facilities' recovery procedures. Subsequently presented a functionality curvebased mathematical method and a framework for the analytical quantification of disaster resilience.
As of now, a few examinations on strength evaluation were led in view of the structure and for measuring the versatility of different subsystems or a whole city. As a result, the four components of resilience quantification in civil engineering are as follows: resilience assessment for an urban system's engineering, social and economic functions; quantitative indicators of infrastructure and distributed network resilience; quantitative indicators of building subsystem resilience; and a limit-state analysis of resilience. A threedimensional matrix serves as an illustration of the performance measures. In particular, the first dimension is connected to the 4R metrics that were mentioned earlier. Organizational, social, economic and technical metrics make up the second dimension. The global, power, water, hospital and R&R metrics make up the third dimension. Numerous studies have since been conducted to develop methods for quantifying the community's and subsystems' resilience limit state [1-3].
A typical report describing community resilience is the SPUR report. It suggests that a clear resilience performance index be proposed in order to achieve community resilience. According to the report, casualties (life lost and serious injuries), economic losses (cost of repair as a percentage of replacement value) and recovery time should be used to evaluate the anticipated seismic performance. A clear definition of the resilience performance objective for building subsystems was provided in the report. Safe and operational, safe and usable during repair, safe and usable after repair, safe but not repairable and unsafe are the five levels that are defined. The report also specifies the expected performance of all utility and transportation systems or portions of systems that serve the city in terms of the number of days required to restore service to various extents. Conclusions The studies on disaster resilience in civil engineering focused primarily on engineering-related social and economic factors, as well as the dynamics and recovery process of engineering facility functions. It is evident from the literature review of studies on disaster resilience quantification in civil engineering that resilience assessment methods, indicators and case studies have been extensively researched. Moderately settled seismic flexibility appraisal techniques have been taken on in particulars and strength evaluation apparatuses have been created and applied. Contextual analyses were surveyed, which showed that fiasco strength should be upgraded. The corresponding requirements, which include but are not limited to the following, suggest that further research into the quantification of disaster resilience should be conducted in light of this literature review: Promoting quantitative indicators of urban resilience is necessary. The combined effects of multiple disasters and subsystems were ignored in previous resilience assessment studies, which primarily focused on a single disaster and a single subsystem. In addition, the seismic resilience assessment of buildings that have been studied relatively extensively needs to be improved, as do the corresponding evaluation methods for various disasters and subsystems. In order to quantify the resilience of infrastructures and distributed networks, new technologies ought to be used [4,5].
The primary methods are graph theory, probability analysis and the performance function. The physical mechanism of disaster evolution, on the other hand, has not been specifically considered. As a result, a physical-based quantitative measure is suggested. The interest for the strength measurement of non-structural parts of structures is basic on the grounds that non-structural harm is a huge calculate building versatility when there is slight primary harm. It is essential to propose a method for determining the corresponding indicators in resilience limit-state analysis. An open, transparent and replicable method will increase urban resilience.
