Cities in the develo** world are facing outstanding economic and human losses caused
by natural hazards such as earthquakes, and the amount of losses is affected by the quality …

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 …

Seismic fragility and vulnerability assessment is an essential step in the evaluation of
probabilistic seismic risk. Ideally, models developed and calibrated for the building portfolio …

The paper presents a machine-learning based framework, named VULMA (VULnerability
analysis using MAchine-learning), for vulnerability analysis of existing buildings. 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 …

The relevant losses determined by recent earthquakes stressed the vulnerability of historical
masonry constructions towards horizontal seismic actions, therefore highlighting the need …

The lack of empirical data regarding earthquake damage or losses has propelled the
development of dozens of analytical methodologies for the derivation of fragility and …

South America—in particular, the Andean countries—are exposed to high levels of seismic
hazard, which, when combined with the elevated concentration of population and properties …

The research aims to illustrate a vulnerability approach extended for the aggregate masonry
buildings belonging to an urban area of the city of Latronico (Basilicata Region). The area …

Vibration-based finite element model (FEM) updating of cultural heritage assets is gaining
so much attraction these days since destructive tests are usually not allowed to be …
