NRMCA, Build With Strength Discuss Functional Recovery as a Measure of Resilience
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
One of the biggest roadblocks to implementing enhanced resilience in the built environment is the lack of an accepted measurement system that would determine when resilience goals are being met. The concept of functional recovery is intended to address the gap by providing a way to evaluate resilience in an objective manner. In an article in Engineered Systems magazine, NRMCA Senior Vice President, Structures and Codes, Scott Campbell discusses the use of functional recovery in resilient design. The column is part of an ongoing series where Dr. Campbell lays out various aspects of security and resilience for a technical, but not specialist, audience and advances the concept of resilience as envisioned by NRMCA.
