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 …

Models capable of estimating losses in future earthquakes are of fundamental importance
for emergency planners and for the insurance and reinsurance industries. One of the main …

Seismic risk assessment at the territorial level is now widely recognised as essential for
countries with intense seismic activity, such as Italy. Academia is called to give its …

The study analyses the data related to a database of 7597 private Reinforced Concrete
buildings located in the city and the province of L'Aquila surveyed after the 2009 earthquake …

Analytical methods for large-scale assessment of the seismic vulnerability of RC buildings
have only recently become feasible due to a combination of advancements in the field of …

The paper presents a mechanical-based framework for the evaluation of local-scale seismic
fragility curves. The approach is oriented to a seismic vulnerability assessment of …

The paper presents a methodology of extraction, integration and elaboration of data from
