Integrated Approaches for Multi-Hazard Resilient and Sustainable Buildings

Integrated Approaches for Multi-Hazard Resilient and Sustainable Buildings explores design methods, digital frameworks, and innovative techniques for developing buildings that are safer, resilient, and environmentally sustainable. The book addresses the challenge of improving investment decisions in construction in the context of natural and climate hazards, including earthquakes, heatwaves, wind, and flooding, alongside sustainability targets. This is achieved by quantifying the expected risks of buildings across technical, environmental, economic, and social dimensions through probabilistic modeling and multicriteria approaches. An international group of expert contributors has drawn from its experience in both academic research and industry practice to produce a comprehensive overview of the most recent scientific advancements across several disciplines, including structural engineering, facade engineering, building technology, and architecture. This provides tailored insights for a diverse audience seeking conceptual frameworks, state-of-the-art knowledge, and real-world case studies that support both understanding and application.
