Abstract

The word “resilience” may imply different meanings in each specific situation. In the engineering aspect, it represents the positive ability of a system to adapt itself to the consequences of a catastrophic failure caused by natural hazards (disasters), terrorism attacks or system faults, and so on. The Committee on National Earthquake Resilience Research, Implementation, and Outreach defines resilience as “The capability of an asset, system, or network to maintain its function or recover from a terrorist attack or any other incident”.
