Abstract
Resilience of residential buildings depends on the recovery process that follows the impact of natural hazards, such as tsunamis. In particular, the historical database from tsunamis that occurred in different Countries (Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan) have been considered. This study proposes a selection of the best-fitting models to assess the recovery process of tsunamis to derive a framework for resilience at geographical scales. Since the damage depends on the vulnerability of the buildings, several typologies have been considered. In addition, aggregations of different damage sources have been considered to propose comprehensive relationships. The definition of best-fitting recovery functions for different countries has been discussed to implement them in advanced platforms and calculate the resilience to tsunamis.
