In this paper, empirical fragility curves for reinforced concrete buildings are derived, based
on post-earthquake damage data collected in the aftermath of earthquakes occurred in Italy …

Tsunamis are unpredictable and infrequent but potentially large impact natural disasters. To
prepare, mitigate and prevent losses from tsunamis, probabilistic hazard and risk analysis …

Abstract The last National Risk Assessment NRA for Italy was developed at the end of 2018
by the Department of Civil Protection (DPC) in response to the specific requirement of the …

In the framework of seismic risk analyses at large scale, among the available methods for
the vulnerability assessment the empirical and expert elicitation based ones still represent …

Droughts continue to affect ecosystems, communities and entire economies. Agriculture
bears much of the impact, and in many countries it is the most heavily affected sector. Over …

This paper illustrates the derivation of an empirical fragility model for residential
unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, calibrated on Italian post-earthquake damage data …

Tailings ponds are one of the three major production facilities in metal mines. The volume of
tailings increases year by year, but the storage capacity of existing tailings ponds is limited …

This study focuses on the seismic vulnerability of masonry buildings damaged by the 2009
L'Aquila earthquake. A geo-referenced database of 32,520 masonry residential buildings …

A set of about 25,000 residential reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been investigated
in this study to define fragility curves. The sample originates from a wide database, reported …
