Abstract
The assessment of infrastructures functionality during natural events is fundamental in the evaluation of emergency response and socio-economic recovery procedures. In this regard, resilience may be considered a key parameter for decision-making procedures, such as posthazard event mitigations and recovery investments. This chapter investigates resilience and its application to concrete infrastructures subjected to seismic hazards and aiming to assess the recovery to various levels of preearthquake functionality. A case study is also considered in order to show the application of the proposed methodology to a real bridge. The principal outcome consists of calculating resilience as a readable finding that may have many applications for a wide range of stakeholders, such as infrastructure owners, transportation authorities, and public administrators, who can apply the outcomes in the assessment of the best recovery techniques and solutions.
