Overview - What ISO/TR 22845:2020 covers
ISO/TR 22845:2020 (Technical Report) provides a structured index of existing information on the resilience of buildings and civil engineering works. Rather than prescribing mandatory requirements, the report aggregates and summarizes typical materials on:
- the concept of resilience (terms, perspectives, ISO definitions),
- disaster risk categories relevant to the built environment (climate‑induced, earthquake‑induced, human‑induced), and
- countermeasures (strategy and measurement approaches).
Published in 2020 by ISO/TC 59, this TR is intended as a reference for research, standards development and practitioners seeking consolidated sources on resilience, disaster risk and adaptation for the built environment.
Key technical topics and notable contents
- Terminology and concepts: perspectives on resilience across contexts, and how resilience is defined in ISO documents.
- Disaster risk indexing: categorized references and data sources for:
- Climate‑induced risks (sea‑level rise, heatwaves, climate projections),
- Earthquake‑induced risks (global seismic risk maps, seismic performance data),
- Human‑induced risks (e.g., terrorism-related risk indices).
- Countermeasure approaches:
- Strategic guidance and planning for resilient buildings and infrastructure,
- Measurement and rating systems to assess resilience performance.
- Compilation of existing resources: annotated list of international reports, databases and rating systems (examples include the Sendai Framework, USRC Building Rating System, B‑READY, FORTIFIED, REDi, LEED, BREEAM and DGNB references).
Note: ISO/TR 22845:2020 is a technical report that indexes and summarizes information rather than issuing prescriptive technical requirements.
Practical applications
- Use as a research starting point to identify authoritative data, frameworks and case studies relevant to building resilience.
- Support for standards development - provides a curated bibliography and mapping of concepts to existing guidance.
- Inform design and retrofit decisions for resilient buildings and civil works by pointing to best‑practice strategies and measurement systems.
- Aid risk assessment, adaptation planning and policy - useful for urban planners, infrastructure managers and emergency planners establishing resilience programs.
Who should use this standard
- Structural, civil and resilience engineers
- Architects and building designers
- Urban planners and infrastructure asset owners
- Disaster risk managers and emergency planners
- Standards developers, researchers and policy makers
- Insurance and resilience assessment professionals
Related standards and frameworks
ISO/TR 22845:2020 cross‑references international frameworks and rating tools such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, LEED, BREEAM, RELi and multiple resilience rating/measurement systems (USRC, B‑READY, FORTIFIED, REDi). It is best used alongside local building codes and sector‑specific standards for design and compliance.

Introduction
Resilience is not a new concept. It is widely used in many fields such as human psychology, ecology,
disaster risk management and product specification.
With an increasing impact, resilience is contributing to sustainable development on humanitarian
issues at a global level, focusing on providing the general public, including vulnerable groups, with an
environment that can better adapt to future disaster risks.
In view of the increasing demand for resilience of buildings and civil engineering works, this document
attempts to collect and summarize typical relevant existing information to provide reference for
research and standard preparation. Information is aggregated mainly on concept, disaster risk and
countermeasure:
1) For concept, this document sorts out some perspectives of resilience in different contexts and
definitions of resilience that have appeared in ISO documents.
2) For disaster risk, this document describes three categories of disaster risk closely related to
buildings and civil engineering works, i.e. climate-induced, earthquake-induced and human-
induced, and indexes some typical related reports and data.
3) For countermeasure, this document summarizes typical relevant information from the two
dimensions of strategy and measurement. Some of this information is relatively mature, already
in the form of standards, guidelines, etc., some are implemented in cases, and some are at the
research stage.
Resilience of buildings and civil engineering works involves interested parties and participants
which can include specialists in the field of buildings and civil engineering works (such as material
manufacturers, engineers, architects, constructers and estimators, etc.), scientists, standard setters,
investors and financial institutions, regulatory agencies, communities, residents and occupiers,
government administrative departments, etc.

4 Concept
4.1 Perspectives in different contexts
Resilience is derived from the Latin word "resilio" for bounce[ ] and in most cases its use retains this
concept either literally or figuratively. The Oxford Dictionary of English gives two explanations of
resilience, "the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape" and "the capacity to recover
[3]
quickly from difficulties" , which could be understood as mechanical and functional resilience
respectively. Some domains also have understandings of resilience from different perspectives. Table 1
is a summary of some typical descriptions of resilience in different contexts, extracted from the
literature found.

4.2 Definitions in ISO documents
There are 26 hits when searching for definitions of “resilience” on the ISO Online Browsing Platform
(ISO OBP). In material and product standards, different forms of mechanical resilience are defined.
Standards dealing with systems, on the other hand, focus on forms of functional resilience appropriate
to the systems. Table 2 shows examples of these two types of definitions in ISO documents.

According to the ISO OBP, there are currently some 320 standards in which reference is made to
resilience, by title and/or content, although often without defining what is meant by the term. Below are
some examples of ISO standards which explicitly focus on resilience. Two of these relate to mechanical
resilience and one to functional resilience of systems:
— ISO 8307, prepared by ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products;
— ISO 4662, prepared by ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products;
— ISO 28002, prepared by ISO/TC 292, Security and resilience.
The following standard is concerned with mechanical resilience but refers to it as "elastic recovery":
— ISO 7389, prepared by ISO/TC 59/SC 8, Sealants.
5 Disaster risk
5.1 General
Since resilience is the ability to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the
[10]
effects of a hazard , it is necessary to understand the status of disaster risks, which is a prerequisite
for the development of resilience standards for buildings and civil engineering works.
This document collects three categories of disaster risks closely related to buildings and civil
engineering works: climate-induced, earthquake-induced and human-induced, and indexes some
related reports and data sets of these disaster situations. Since the life of a building or civil engineering
work will be tens or even hundreds of years, it is also necessary to pay attention to future possibilities
of disaster risks.
5.2 Climate-induced
For climate-induced disaster risks, this document mainly collects some typical reports and data. From
them, the following can be seen:
1) The frequency and economic losses of global meteorological disasters have increased: Under
the background of global climate change, the frequency and economic losses of meteorological
disasters have an obviously upward trend, being detrimental to the safety of human life and
property and the sustainable economic and social development.
2) The global climate risks will continue rising: Looking ahead to the coming decades of the 21st
century, global climate risks will continue rising due to climate change and increased exposure
and vulnerability brought about by urbanization. Among them, changes of risks such as high
temperature, low temperature, heavy precipitation, tropical cyclone, drought and sea
level rise can have certain impact on buildings and civil engineering works. These impacts have
important implications for considering the resilience standard of buildings and civil engineering
works in the long term. Table 3 shows projected changes of global annual mean temperature, high
temperature, low temperature, heavy precipitation, tropical cyclone, drought and sea level rise in
the 21st century, extracted from the collected data.
Table 3 — Projected changes of global annual mean temperature, high temperature, low
temperature, heavy precipitation, tropical cyclone, drought and sea level rise in the 21st

The 1-in-20-year extreme daily maximum temperature will likely increase by about 1 °C to 3 °C
and 2 °C to 5 °C by the mid- and late 21st century respectively, depending on different regions
and emission scenarios. A 1-in-20-year hottest day is likely to become a 1-in-2 and 1-in-5-year
High tempera-
event by the end of 21st century for the high and low emission scenarios respectively. The heat
ture
related risks increase with greater degrees of warming. 13,8 % of the world population would
be exposed to severe heat waves at least once every 5 years under 1,5 °C of global warming,
with a threefold increase (36,9 %) under 2 °C warming.
Cold days and cold nights are very likely to become much less frequent. Further decreases
in the number of cold days/nights and an increase in overall temperature of cold extremes
Low tempera-
would occur under 1,5 °C of global warming compared to under the present-day climate (1 °C
ture
of warming), with further changes occurring towards 2 °C of global warming. And in some
regions, cold-related mortality is projected to decrease with increasing temperatures.
A 1-in-20-year annual maximum daily precipitation amount is likely to become a 1-in-5 to 1-in-
15-year event by the end of the 21st century in most regions under higher emission scenarios.
Projected increase in heavy precipitation will contribute to rain-generated local flooding in
Heavy precipi-
some catchments or regions. Over the global land monsoon region, an estimated 25 % (18 %
tation
to 41 %) and 36 % (22 % to 46 %) of area and population, respectively, could be relieved from
the baseline 1-in-20-year events over the present-day level, if global warming were limited to
1,5 °C instead of 2 °C.
The global frequency of tropical cyclones will either decrease or remain essentially unchanged
in 21st century. Average tropical cyclone maximum wind speed will likely increase, although
it is possible that increases will not occur in all ocean basins. There is limited evidence that
Tropical cyclone the global number of tropical cyclones will be lower under 2 °C of global warming compared
to under 1,5 °C of warming, but with an increase in the number of very intense cyclones. In
coastal regions, increases in heavy precipitation associated with tropical cyclones combined
with increased sea levels can lead to increased flooding.

Table 3 (continued)
Droughts will intensify in the 21st century in some seasons and areas, and extreme drought
is projected to act as the normal climatological state by the end of the 21st century under the
Drought
high emission scenarios in many mid-latitude locations. Duration of droughts are also projected
to increase in some regions of the world.

Sea level rise
by the late 21st century by the late 21st century the late 21st century
Meanwhile, there are some online map tools for visualizing global or national climate projections. Some
of them show changes in risks such as temperature, precipitation and sea level rise in different periods
of the 21st century under different emission scenarios. These projections can play a supporting role
in the decision-making of investment, standards and design for the resilience of buildings and civil
engineering works.
Some countries and organizations have proposed initiatives and action plans to address climate
change, targeting parts of cities, communities, buildings, infrastructure, etc., which can have certain
implications for the resilience of buildings and civil engineering works.
5.3 Earthquake-induced
For earthquake-induced disaster risks, this document mainly collects some typical data on seismic risk.
From them, the following can be seen:
1) The global seismic risk remains severe: Earthquake is one of the most catastrophic natural
hazards to human beings. With rapid urbanization in recent years, an increasing amount of
population as well as property will be exposed to seismic risks. At the same time, aging and changes
in strength and stiffness can also impair the seismic safety and serviceability of the existing
engineering structure.
2) It is challenging to meet the demand for resilience via traditional seismic resistance
methods: In certain recent earthquakes, although some buildings did not collapse, they could
hardly be repaired due to the severe damage, causing enormous economic loss and substantial
social impact. For example, after the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand in 2011, none of the
51 tallest buildings in the city collapsed owing to the rigorous seismic standards of New Zealand.
Nonetheless, 37 of these tall buildings had to be demolished due to their severe damage and
[34]
potentially high costs to repair . Furthermore, other seismic resilience issues also occurred in
the Great East Japan earthquake in 2011, and in the Haiti earthquake in 2010.
These issues indicate that resilience enhancement of buildings and communities is essential, which is
illustrated in Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Seismic resilience is essential
Meanwhile, some online map tools have been developed for the visualization of global or national
seismic risk. They can support decision-making for investment, standardization and design related to
seismic resilience of buildings and civil engineering works.
5.4 Human-induced
For human-induced disaster risks, this document focuses on collecting relevant information on global
terrorist attacks. From them, the following can be seen:
1) Global terrorist attacks are increasing: Incidents involving hostage-taking, assassination, and
[35]
attacks on facilities or infrastructure all increased over tenfold in the past two decades .
2) Counter-terrorism engineering design is increasingly important for buildings and
communities: Some countries are now beginning to consider how building and engineering
professionals can assist in reducing the impact of terrorism through design.
6 Countermeasure
6.1 Strategy
At present, practice and research on the resilience strategy of buildings and civil engineering works
have progressed to a certain extent. The collected data shows the following characteristics:
In different forms: Some strategies are relatively mature, refined into systems such as standards and
guidelines; some are implemented in cases; and some are still at the research stage.
For different types of disaster risks: Some systems are broad-spectrum, targeting multiple types of
disaster risks, while some focus on one type.
Consider the future: For the sake of the future, some climate related strategies consider the impact of
climate change on buildings and civil engineering works.
Table 4 sorts out some typical sources of these strategies according to the two dimensions of disaster
risk categories (climate-induced/earthquake-induced/human-induced) and forms (system, case,
research).

6.2 Measurement
The measurement of the resilience of buildings and civil engineering works has progressed to some
extent. The characteristics of collected data are similar to those of strategies. Some of them are
relatively mature and have become standards, rating tools, etc.; and some are still at the research stage.
Some are for multiple types of disaster risks, while some are for one type. Since boundaries between
strategies and measurement of resilience are sometimes blurred, some collected resources can contain
both types of information.
Table 5 is the summary of some typical resilience measurement according to the categories of disaster
risks (climate-induced/earthquake-induced/human-induced).

7.1.1 Terminology: Resilience
Citation United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)
The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, ac-
commodate, adapt to, transform and recover from the effects of a hazard in a timely and

efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of its essential basic
structures and functions through risk management.

7.1.2 Built-in resilience through disaster risk reduction: operational issues
Author Lee Bosher
Citation Building Research & Information, 2014, 42(2), 240–254
It has been argued that the broad range of people responsible for the delivery, operation
and maintenance of the built environment need to become more proactively involved in
making the built environment resilient to a wide range of known and unforeseen hazards
Abstract
and threats. Accordingly, the (actual and potential) roles of a wide range of stakeholders
associated with the integration of disaster risk reduction into the (re-)development of
the built environment are examined.

engineering
Author David D. Woods
Citation Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2015, 141(C), 5–9
The paper organizes the different technical approaches to the question of what is resil-
ience and how to engineer it in complex adaptive systems. The paper groups the different
uses of the label "resilience" around four basic concepts: (1) resilience as rebound from
Abstract trauma and return to equilibrium; (2) resilience as a synonym for robustness; (3) resil-
ience as the opposite of brittleness, i.e., as graceful extensibility when surprise challenges
boundaries; (4) resilience as network architectures that can sustain the ability to adapt
to future surprises as conditions evolve.
