An empirical seismic vulnerability model [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022
This paper proposes a novel seismic vulnerability model for the classification of the existing residential building stock. The vulnerability model rests on a data-driven approach, taking advantage of observed seismic damages detected on several Italian building typologies, struck by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake. Unsupervised machine learning techniques

Seismic vulnerability of natural gas pipelines

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2013
Abstract This work deals with the analysis of the interaction of earthquakes with pipelines transporting and distributing natural gas for industrial and civil use. To this aim, a new large data-set of seismic information classified on the basis of selected seismological, geotechnical and structural parameters is presented and analyzed.

Seismic vulnerability of domes: a case study

Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures, 2018
In this work, a simplified structural analysis of the main dome of San Francesco di Paola in Naples is performed by adopting both analytical and graphical approaches. The analytical process is based on the simplified membrane theory and the graphical methodology on the slicing technique.

Seismic Vulnerability of a Slender Stalagmite

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2022
Seismic vulnerability of speleothems may serve long-term seismic risk studies. For this reason, the seismic response of stalagmite is computed using a robust FEM model calibrated from free vibration records by Hilbert–Huang modal extraction. It is demonstrated that the stalagmite vibrations consist of pairs of closely coupled flexural natural modes ...

Seismic Vulnerability of Timber Roofs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Damage or collapse of buildings where traditional timber roof structures had been removed and substituted with new ones of different material and typology have recently suggested to adopt less invasive strengthening techniques, maintaining the original structure but reducing its seismic vulnerability.

SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OF FLORENCE

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
The city of Florence, famous all over the world for its historical and artistic heritage, experienced public housing interventions since the XIX century. They consist both in RC and masonry constructions developed during several interventions in the external areas around the historical centre. Florence has been classified “seismic zone” just in 1982 so,

Seismic vulnerability assessment of Tipaza bridges

2016 3rd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM), 2016
Bridges are considered as one of the most important lifelines which can suffer from heavy damages caused by earthquakes. This study aims to assess the seismic vulnerability of bridges using the vulnerability index method. The method is applied on the region of Tipaza (Algeria) taking into account the seismic hazard of the studied area.

Seismic Vulnerability of Historic Centers

2015
A methodology of investigation and diagnosis on the built patrimony of historic centres in seismic areas is presented with the aim of collecting an extensive knowledge on the structural typologies and behaviour of historic masonry buildings. This investigation is also the base for the prevention and/or repair of damages caused by earthquakes.

Seismic vulnerability of historical buildings

2008
The paper deals with an extensive study concerning the application of an integrated multilevel methodology for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the Royal Palace of Naples. In particular the paper focuses on the north-west wing of the Royal Palace of Naples. The first phase of the vulnerability evaluation, which consists in the application
