In the past decades, the research and development of methodologies have received
considerable attention which quantified earthquake-related damages to structures. Among …

Developments in the field of earthquake engineering over the past few decades have
contributed to the development of new methods for evaluating the risk levels in buildings …

The paper describes the derivation of fragility curves useful for the seismic risk analyses of
existing unreinforced masonry buildings inserted in aggregate. The L-shaped examined …

The assessment of the seismic risk at a national scale represents an important resource in
order to introduce measures that may reduce potential losses due to future earthquakes …

To deeply explore the seismic vulnerability characteristics of typical structures and obtain the
differences in the seismic capacity of multiple structural categories in actual earthquakes …

A large volume of work has been carried out in recent years to assess the effects of
individual hazards on urban areas. However, due to its complexity, assessing the probable …

For many decades, countless studies have been performed regarding the effects of the
environment on traditional building materials, presenting methods to mostly quantify …

This work approaches the seismic vulnerability assessment of an old stone masonry
building aggregate, located in San Pio delle Camere (Abruzzo, Italy), slightly affected by the …

The seismic vulnerability assessment of old masonry buildings is essential not only to
buildings with recognised historical and heritage value but also to ordinary residential …

In this paper, a novel predictive model for the seismic vulnerability assessment of old Italian
minor historical centres is presented. The proposed methodology is based on the use of …
