Civil Structures and Infrastructure Systems: From Reliability to Resilience examines the reliability and resilience of individual structures, outlining their similarity/difference through a unified framework. Subsequently, the reliability and resilience of infrastructure systems consisting of interacting multiple components are considered, with an emphasis on the wide applicability of reliability and resilience theories in engineering practice. - Systematically introduces the concept, mathematical formulation, application and comparison of reliability and resilience for civil structures and infrastructure systems - Provides clear analysis of the inherent relationship between reliability and resilience - Explores next-generation resilience-based design methods
