Understand Structural Resilience – Learn how buildings withstand and recover from forces like tension, compression, shear, and bending.
Measure & Analyze Performance – Explore capacity assessment, damage evaluation, recovery time, and embodied carbon calculations.
Enhance Sustainability & Adaptability – Discover eco-friendly materials, optimized construction techniques, and carbon footprint reduction strategies.
The presentation "Measuring Structural Resiliency" explores the concept of structural resilience, emphasising the ability of buildings and infrastructure to withstand and recover from various forces and disasters. It categorises loads into static, dynamic, natural events, and environmental forces, detailing how structures must resist tension, compression, shear, bending, torsion, and horizontal forces.
Key aspects of structural resilience include strength, flexibility, redundancy, rapid recovery, sustainability, and adaptability. The presentation discusses methods for measuring resilience, such as performance-based analysis, capacity assessment, damage evaluation, recovery time, and embodied carbon calculations. A major focus is placed on sustainability, highlighting eco-friendly materials, optimized construction techniques, and carbon footprint reduction strategies.
The discussion extends to community impact analysis, integrating lifecycle performance with energy consumption and waste management. The presentation concludes by addressing challenges in standardizing resilience measurements and promoting sustainable engineering solutions.
