The post-earthquake structural resilience started to be of particular interest to governments and private businesses ownersafter the 2010 Chile earthquake (M 8.8), the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan (M9), and the 2011 Christchurch aftershockearthquake in New Zealand (M6.3). Researchers concluded that a resilient structural system should be able to: reduceprobabilities of structure failure, reduce consequences from failures, and reduce recovery time. To achieve this goal, newdevelopments in the field of damage-resistant technologies are required. Furthermore, the next generation of damage-resistantbuildings should be able to self-center and to be reparable at an affordable cost.
