The study concludes that while these advancements have revolutionized earthquake-resistant design, further efforts are needed to address these barriers and promote global resilience to
This paper reviews the state of the art in using benefit–cost analysis (BCA) to inform earthquake risk reduction decisions by building owners and policymakers. The goal is to provide a roadmap for the application and future development of BCA methods and tools for earthquake risk reduction.
Our review reveals that the key drivers of the cost-effectiveness of earthquake risk reduction are the building occupancy class (e.g., hospital, school, or residential and commercial), the location (e.g., high or moderate seismic hazard risk), and the performance target (e.g., life safety, immediate occupancy).
Because earthquake risk reduction measures are effective within the relatively short planning horizon of buildings, applying the same discount rate to life-saving benefits and investment costs is preferable as indicated by many studies (Pate-Cornell 1984; Liel and Deierlein 2013; NIBS 2019).
This study provides a comprehensive systematic review of innovations in earthquake-resistant building design, focusing on advancements in materials, technologies, and methodologies aimed at enhancing structural resilience.
The study concludes that while these advancements have revolutionized earthquake-resistant design, further efforts are needed to address these barriers and promote global resilience to
