Abstract

Sponsored by the Social Science, Policy, Economics, Education, and Decision (SPEED) Committee of the Infrastructure Resilience Division of ASCE. Resilient and Sustainable Buildings, IRP 7, provides a high-level overview of the methods and outcomes of four major projects funded by the National Science Foundation that focus on different aspects of resilient and sustainable buildings (RSB), ranging from a single building to a full community. Topics include: • A comprehensive overview of the four multiyear research efforts, • Commonalities between the projects in approaches and methods and in research gaps, • Differences between the projects in methods as a function of scale and hazard, • Multiresilient and sustainable soil foundation structural envelope (SFSE) building systems, and • Decision frameworks for selecting among alternative building system designs. IRP 7 will be of interest to civil engineers, urban planners, architects, and laboratory researchers, among others, who wish to learn about the direction of research for RSB projects.
