Appraising seismic vulnerability of masonry aggregates through an automated mechanical-typological approach

Valeria Leggieri et al.

Summary: The paper introduces an automated procedure named META-FORMA for investigating the global seismic performance of masonry aggregates based on simplified approach. The procedure can generate a wide mechanical/typological-based database and was firstly applied on a case study in Foggia, Southern Italy. While currently developed for linear configurations, META-FORMA is open to further development and modification for various aggregation forms.

Empirical fragility curves for Italian residential RC buildings

A. Rosti et al.

Summary: In this study, empirical fragility curves for reinforced concrete buildings are derived based on post-earthquake damage data collected in Italy from 1976 to 2012. The critical review and in-depth analysis of the data ensure consistency and completeness of the survey campaign. Fragility analysis is conducted using observed damage levels and building characteristics, resulting in fragility curves for different vulnerability classes and building heights.

Seismic fragility assessment of masonry building aggregates: A case study in the old city Centre of Seixal, Portugal

Lidia Battaglia et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the seismic fragility of masonry building aggregates in the old city center of Seixal, considering variability in structural and geometrical parameters. The research reveals significant differences in seismic performance of various structural configurations and vulnerability of buildings in isolated versus aggregate states. It also highlights the impact of parameters variation on seismic response, especially when internal slab characteristics are altered.

Seismic fragility assessment of existing masonry buildings in aggregate

Michele Angiolilli et al.

Summary: This paper describes the derivation of fragility curves for the seismic risk analyses of existing unreinforced masonry buildings inserted in aggregate. Nonlinear dynamic analyses were used to assess the seismic vulnerability of the masonry aggregate, with a focus on in-plane and out-of-plane mechanisms. The results show that the damage limit state of the reference building is mainly governed by in-plane behavior, while the collapse limit state is controlled by out-of-plane mechanisms, and higher connection levels between adjacent structural units increase the interaction between in-plane and out-of-plane mechanisms.

A Technological System for Post-Earthquake Damage Scenarios Based on the Monitoring by Means of an Urban Seismic Network

Antonio Costanzo et al.

Summary: This technological system can assist decision-makers in planning post-earthquake response activities by generating damage scenarios based on real-time ground motion data and structural characteristics of buildings, particularly in densely populated and historic urban areas. The system has been tested in the historic area of Camerino, Italy, and uses fragility curves to relate ground motion acceleration peaks to the probability of damage levels.
