Abstract:
The need for enhanced resiliency in building design and construction is established as a must for community continuity and sustainability. In this session, we investigate causes for the dramatic increases in property losses when disasters occur. We will highlight trends in resiliency and cover the pros and cons of voluntary and mandatory efforts intended to result in more resilient communities. Also discussed will be the role of concrete in resilient construction.
