Observational Seismic Fragility Models for Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Based on Building‐by‐Building Damage Data From the 2012 Emilia Earthquakes

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, Italy has been affected by multiple earthquakes, revealing the significant vulnerability of existing structures. These seismic events have resulted in notable human and economic losses, emphasising the importance of evaluating the impact of one or more seismic events on various building types.

Ground Motion Estimates Updated by Building Damage

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Classical ShakeMap relies on a conditional Gaussian random field approach to earthquake shaking estimation, where the mean and covariance matrix are derived from a ground motion model, a correlation model for intra‐event residuals, and the recordings from seismic monitoring stations.
