Earthquake Engineering for Resilience: Structures, Communities and Networks presents a multi-scale framework for assessing seismic vulnerability and improving resilience across buildings, communities and critical infrastructure networks. Bridging engineering, urban planning, and disaster management perspectives, the framework addresses the full spectrum of earthquake impacts - from immediate structural damage to prolonged service disruption and community recovery.

The book integrates four essential methodologies: analytical modelling, empirical assessment, functionality-based recovery analysis and vulnerability evaluation. Organised across three interconnected levels - structures, communities and infrastructure systems - the chapters offer scalable, practical tools for researchers and practitioners. International case studies, including an example from Penang Island, Malaysia, illustrate how the framework can effectively guide resilience planning in both data-rich and data-scarce contexts.

Combining technical rigor with accessible explanations and real-world applications, Earthquake Engineering for Resilience is suitable for graduate students, researchers and practicing engineers in structural and earthquake engineering, as well as urban planners, disaster risk managers and policymakers.
