Post-earthquake reconstruction activities need tools for assessing the vulnerability of structures, based on visual inspection and quick survey. So far, the public administrations in charge of granting the funds and monitoring reconstruction have adopted different methods taken from scientific literature or developed ad hoc for specific events. The time is ripe for a standard method to be developed, treasuring from the lessons learned in the field. This paper proposes an expeditious tool based on visual survey for the assessment of the seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry buildings, starting from available methods, whose parameters were reassessed and recalibrated, and scientific evidence from recent literature. The influence of the main structural features was considered to calculate a vulnerability index in the 0–100 range. The effects of materials and arrangement of masonry were quantitatively evaluated through the masonry quality index, which represents an advancement with respect to current practice. The method was validated on a sample of 50 masonry aggregates and nearly 200 structural units of L'Aquila, Italy, where reconstruction is underway after a destructive earthquake in 2009. The sample is representative of the built heritage of other earthquake prone areas in Italy and many European Countries and the proposed method is a step forward the development of a standard tool to be used in future post-earthquake reconstruction scenarios.

The goal of this work is the assessment of the seismic vulnerability of building clusters within the historical center of Arsita (Teramo, Italy), damaged by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake, by comparing two different analysis procedures applied to a construction compound case study. First, the seismic vulnerability of structural units of the building compound, has been appraised using a vulnerability evaluation quick form, appropriately conceived for masonry clusters. In particular, heading and intermediate structural units, having different geometrical configuration and seismic behaviors, have been inspected using the aforementioned form, which allowed for the calculation of a synthetic vulnerability index. Starting from these indices, the probable damage suffered by the examined structural units under different grade earthquakes, have been estimated. Later, both the single structural units and the whole construction compound were modeled using the macro-element refined method provided by the 3Muri non-linear analysis software. Static non-linear analyses performed on the above-mentioned structures have provided related pushover curves, used to estimate, using the N2 method, the damage suffered under seismic actions expected at that site. Therefore, the damage of single structural units have been compared to those experienced by the same structures within the building aggregate. Finally, the results derived from the two analysis methodologies considered were compared, confirming the effectiveness of the simplest technique to predict the seismic damage and vulnerability of investigated structures.

This paper presents an analytical method for large-scale vulnerability assessment used in order to simulate damage scenarios corresponding to those observed during past earthquakes in Italy. The method, already published in the technical literature with the acronym SP-BELA (Simplified Pushover-Based Earthquake Loss Assessment), has been adopted to calculate the vulnerability of the Italian building stock classified as reinforced concrete and masonry buildings. The current paper describes the calibration of the method through the comparison of numerically calculated damage scenarios and data on observed damage collected during earthquakes occurred in Italy starting from the 1976 Friuli earthquake. The use of observed damage data allowed to validate the method and to add reliability to the calculation of damage scenarios. The damage scenarios are useful to plan the emergency response immediately after an earthquake. Finally, a Web Geographical Interface System tool that implements SP-BELA to calculate seismic risk and real time damage scenario is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates about the seismic vulnerability and risk of fifteen masonry churches located in the historical centre of Naples. The used analysis method is derived from a procedure already implemented by the University of Basilicata on the churches of Matera. In order to evaluate for the study area the seismic vulnerability and hazard indexes of selected churches, the use of appropriate technical survey forms is done. Data obtained from applying the employed procedure allow for both plotting of vulnerability maps and providing seismic risk indicators of all churches. The comparison among the indexes achieved allows for the evaluation of the health state of inspected churches so to program a priority scale in performing future retrofitting interventions.

The Built Environment (BE) with its users is increasingly prone to SUdden-Onset Disasters (SUODs), such as earthquakes and terrorist attacks, and SLow-Onset Disasters (SLODs), such as those related to pollutions and heatwaves. In this regard, historical centers represent vulnerable contexts due to their morphological complexity, construction peculiarities, and user-related characteristics. Therefore, risk assessment studies emphasize the importance of characterizing the BE from a holistic perspective to identify risk factors that interfere with disaster response. In particular, Open Spaces (OSs) (e.g., streets, squares) play a key role in increasing the overall BE resilience as elements that ensure the safety of BE users in emergency phases. This research is aimed at providing a quick OSs survey form to collect and manage the main risk factors according to a multi-risk approach. The form focuses on the critical users-BE interactions due to the OSs modifications during disasters and has been applied to 8 case studies in Italian historical city centers. Results show how the form can assess the OSs complexity and trace the main morphological, constructive, use-related, and context risk factors affecting the safety of OSs and their users. Promoted in the context of the Italian research project (PRIN) BE S2ECURe, the research succeeds in defining a quick methodology for risk factors collection, which can also support planners and local administrations in promoting effective mitigation strategies.

The paper deals with the numerical calibration of a speedy procedure for large scale seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry building aggregates, which are typical building compounds diffused within historical centres of many Italian towns. First of all, based on several numerical analyses developed with the 3MURI calculation program, this simplified assessment procedure has been implemented, it being derived from the well known vulnerability form for masonry buildings integrated by five parameters accounting for the aggregate conditions among adjacent units. Later on, the set-up procedure has been validated through an application to a single building aggregate in the Vesuvius area. Since the results previously achieved have been again confirmed, subsequently the procedure has been used to investigate a wide area of the historical centre of Torre del Greco, allowing for the knowledge of the buildings most at risk under earthquake. Finally, the methodology has been applied to the historical centre of Poggio Picenze (AQ), damaged by the recent Italian earthquake (2009), in order to prove its effectiveness to foresee the damage level experienced by other types of masonry aggregates under seismic actions.

- Abstract
This paper offers a case study of the seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings in 18 villages located in the Val d'Agri area (Basilicata region, Southern Italy). A building-by-building inventory was carried out within the urban areas of the villages by trained technicians in two periods collecting typological data for a total of about 17,500 buildings. In the first period (2001-2003), a purposely drawn up inspection form (VSP-2001) based on the usability form adopted in Italy after seismic events was used to collect detailed data for masonry buildings in 9 villages, while less detailed data were collected for reinforced concrete (RC) ones. In the second period (2005-2006), detailed typological data were collected on both masonry and RC buildings in 9 other villages using an upgraded survey form (VSP-2005). The collected data were analyzed to assign the vulnerability class of the surveyed buildings on the basis of their building type and age. Comparisons with data provided by the national census of population and buildings, carried out in 2001 over the entire Italian territory, were also performed and significant differences were found in terms of estimated vulnerability classes. Results indicate the need for accurate technical surveys to verify and calibrate building vulnerability assessments carried out at large scale using data extracted from housing census or drawn from other rapid and less expensive information sources.

The earthquake of magnitude Mb(RENASS)=3.7 and 3.8 ML(CEA-LDG), occurred on 19 February 2020 at 20 h 20 min UT (22 h 20 min in local time). The epicentre is to the east of Brest according to data from the BCSF-RéNaSS , the CEA-LDG places the epicentre further east (6.5 km). This earthquake is therefore located close to the east-west oriented fault system of the western part of the North Armorican Shear. With the aim of estimating the severity level of the ground shaking of the 19 February earthquake, a macro-seismic survey to collect the seismic effects was launched by the BCSF-RéNaSS in the 277 communes of Finistère., Le séisme de magnitude Mb(RENASS)=3,7 et 3,8 ML(CEA-LDG), s’est produit le 19 février 2020 à 20 h 20 min TU (22 h 20 min en heure locale). L’épicentre se trouve à l’est de Brest selon les données du BCSF-RéNaSS , le CEA-LDG place cet épicentre plus à l’est (6,5 km). Ce séisme est donc localisé à proximité du système de faille orienté estouest de la partie ouest du Cisaillement Nord Armoricain. Dans l’objectif de l’estimation du niveau de sévérité de la secousse au sol du séisme du 19 février, une enquête macrosismique permettant de collecter les effets sismiques a été lancée par le BCSF-RéNaSS dans les 277 communes du Finistère.

23. Building survey forms for heterogeneous urban areas in seismically hazardous zones: application to the historical center of Valparaíso, Chile
- Abstract
Building survey is an essential data-collection procedure to feed large-scale seismic vulnerability assessment. The available strategies usually consider survey forms to gather information about the urban buildings. The application of the available survey forms poses important challenges for the case of the heterogeneous urban centers including different structural typologies. This work proposes four specific survey forms for traditional structural typologies constructed with masonry, reinforced concrete, mixed steel-reinforced concrete, and timber. The proposed forms request essential information on the parameters necessary for seismic vulnerability assessment, by evaluating the lateral-load resistant system, regularity, condition of conservation, and existing damages. The survey forms were applied to the study of 111 buildings of the historical center of Valparaíso, Chile. The proposed methodology was complemented with the use of Geographic Information Systems to obtain a complete database with the structural characterization of the most representative typologies for future works of large-scale seismic vulnerability assessment., Peer Reviewed, Postprint (author's final draft)

The paper deals with the numerical calibration of a speedy procedure for large scale seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry building aggregates, which are typical building compounds diffused within historical centres of many Italian towns. First of all, based on several numerical analyses developed with the 3MURI calculation program, this simplified assessment procedure has been implemented, it being derived from the well known vulnerability form for masonry buildings integrated by five parameters accounting for the aggregate conditions among adjacent units. Later on, the set-up procedure has been validated through an application to a single building aggregate in the Vesuvius area. Since the results previously achieved have been again confirmed, subsequently the procedure has been used to investigate a wide area of the historical centre of Torre del Greco, allowing for the knowledge of the buildings most at risk under earthquake. Finally, the methodology has been applied to the historical centre of Poggio Picenze (AQ), damaged by the recent Italian earthquake (2009), in order to prove its effectiveness to foresee the damage level experienced by other types of masonry aggregates under seismic actions.
