Disaster Mitigation Risk Reduction and Resilience Design of Engineering Structures

<p>The disaster mitigation risk reduction and resilience design of engineering structures under natural hazards are topics of great interest as well as being crucial for protecting human life and reducing economic losses. In recent decades with the help of emerging knowledge regarding the mechanisms of natural hazards new methods and facilities for disaster mitigation and risk reduction are being developed. Furthermore resilience designs have been proposed for the improvement of post-disaster retrofits and repairs for modern engineering structures. This Special Issue is dedicated but not limited to current research on theoretical computational experimental and relevant research works regarding advanced methods in the disaster mitigation risk reduction and resilience design of engineering structures including methodologies and innovations on mechanical performance evaluation; modeling technologies and simulations of failure mechanisms; methodologies regarding vulnerability risk reliability and resilience assessment; applications of disaster mitigation and risk reduction; and innovative and advanced design methodologies for the resilience design of engineering structures under earthquakes fires winds and tsunamis.</p>
