Best Practices of Resilient Buildings (and Districts) and Post-disaster Reconstruction
This special issue belongs to the section "Construction Management, and Computers & Digitization".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scientific and institutional interest towards the management of environmental risks on the built environment has increased significantly. Numerous are the studies that focus on the prevention and preparedness phase, fewer are those concentrate on the response and recovery phases. Current mutirisk conditions require design responses oriented towards disaster risk management and post-disaster reconstruction to improve city resilience; therefore, the special iusse aims at investigate, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Disaster risk management (Prevention, preparedness, response, recovery)
- Mitigation measures
- Resilient building design
- Post-disaster construction e demolition waste management
- Recycling and reuse of disaster waste
- AI approaches to support post-disaster waste management
- Mathematical and simulation models
- Cascading effects modelling
- Building life cycle and innovative management systems
- Case studies and best practices of resilient buildings
- Innovative construction materials
- Building Information Modeling
