Abstract

This paper focuses on a framework for the seismic resilience of cities which incorporates the quantification of the seismic losses and developing models for assessing such losses(economic and human losses). By convolution of seismic hazard curve and fragility curve, a seismic loss curve has been obtained. Also the recovery paths have been chosen for the cities situated in south Asian countries by considering the pre-defined recovery curve.A general concept of resilience in cities has been presented by combining the losses and recovery in a in a single graph showing the resilience for the required city.
