11.5 Conclusions
After many recent extreme events worldwide, the international community
has become conscious that resilience is the key to describing earthquake
engineering performance. A new general design methodology is developed
in this chapter called 'resilience-based design' (RBD). This can be consid-
ered as an extension of PBD, which is only a part of the total 'design effort'.
The goal of RBD is to make individual structures and communities as
'resilient' as possible, developing technologies and actions that allows each
structure and/or community to regain its function as promptly as possible.
