Research Progress on Seismic Resilience of Hospitals
Abstract
: After disasters, especially earthquakes, the vulnerability of hospitals becomes increasingly evident, and the resilience of hospitals plays a crucial role in disaster prevention, mitigation, adaptation, and recovery in seismic areas. The research on seismic resilience of hospitals is not limited to the structural safety of hospitals, but focus more on the seismic performance of non-structural componentsand medical equipment within hospitals, as well as quantification and rapidly recover of hospital functions after earth-quakes. The paper explored the connotation, theoretical framework, and modeling methods of hospital resilience from engineering dimension. By reviewing the progress of hospital resilience research at home and a-broadd, the connections and distinctions among relevant concepts of hospital resilience were analyzed, and qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing hospital resilience were summarized. Finally, the paper provided an outlook on future directions and research points in light of the limitations of existing research.
