A Comprehensive Evaluation Method for Assessing the Seismic Resilience of Building Sites Based on the TOPSIS Model and the Entropy Method

The seismic design philosophy based on resilience represents the latest development in structural seismic design theory and is currently the most advanced concept in the field of seismic design research. A building site serves as the foundation and environment for structures, and evaluating its seismic resilience is a crucial aspect of designing and assessing buildings’ seismic resilience. To meet the needs of evaluating building seismic resilience, the concept of seismic resilience for building sites is introduced in this paper. This evaluation is approached from three dimensions: seismic action, site seismic capacity, and site recovery capability. An indicator system for evaluating the seismic resilience of building sites is constructed using 23 key indicators that reflect the site’s seismic resilience. A seismic resilience evaluation model for building sites is established based on the TOPSIS model and the entropy method. The feasibility and rationality of the proposed evaluation method are demonstrated through application examples. The research findings in this paper provide a valuable reference for advancing the evaluation of both building seismic resilience and site seismic resilience.
