The scope of the journal includes fundamental research, innovative technologies and engineering applications in resilient cities, infrastructure, structures and resilience−based management.
Specific interests are given to research and ideas related to the system's resilience to resist disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, fire, floods and hurricanes, etc. The RCS journal is dedicated to providing a forum and advancing the frontiers of the continuously increasing research work worldwide on reducing disasters' enormous adverse impacts on cities' normal operation. Relevant topics include the following:
Innovative resilient technologies for structures, infrastructure and cities
Resilience evaluation methodologies for structures, infrastructure and cities
Life−cycle assessments and health monitoring of structures, infrastructure and cities
Resilience−based design of structures and infrastructure
Functional interaction analyses among city infrastructure systems
Urban resilience−based management
Definition of 'Resilience'
Resilience is the ability to plan, prepare for, mitigate, and adapt to changing conditions from hazards to enable rapid recovery of physical, social, economic, and ecological infrastructure. Therefore, within the scope of the journal, improving resilience requires engineering capabilities that can make the physical infrastructure able to rapidly recover their functionality, either as individual structures, as systems, or as interdependent systems.
RCS published 3 issues respectively in 2022 and 2023, and since 2024 is published as a quarterly journal.
