Seismic vulnerability assessment of the old historic centre of Scanno - Italy

Abstract eng:
The proposed paper deals with the seismic vulnerability assessment of the old historic centre of Scanno, in the Italian Abruzzi region. A predictive model, calibrated on the basis of empirical observations on similar historic centers hit by the 2009 seismic event in Abruzzi, is applied in order to provide likely damage scenarios by means of fragility curves. It is based on the evaluation of a limited number of structural and typological fact-finding parameters that can be obtained by simple and quick inspections. In addition, it is conceived in order to provide useful information on the most effective anti-seismic strategies to be implemented on urban scale for pursuing a global mitigation of the seismic risk associated with the selected stock of buildings and for the application of suitable risk reduction policies.
