A relevant number of critical facilities, such as hospitals, schools and city halls, experienced extensive damage that resulted in loss of their functionality, and consequently huge economic losses and slow restoration processes after earthquakes. In some communities not well organized, the recovery process can last several years and the community or the system is never brought back to the initial functionality. The awareness that damage can not be avoided has increased the attention on designing buildings that are both safe and resilient, however it is often assumed that such design can increase costs to unacceptable levels. The paper compares life-cycle costs and resilience of respectively a hospital and a school which have been retrofitt...
