Application of a multidisciplinary investigation to study the vulnerability of Castelluccio (Umbria)

摘要

An investigation procedure was proposed by the authors to study the vulnerability of the diffused historic building patrimony in the seismic area. The "minimal" investigation program is to support the designers in their projects. The knowledge of existing buildings is approached by considering different analysis levels: history, materials, structural morphology of the wall section, observed damage mechanisms and effectiveness of retrofitting techniques. This paper extensively describes the investigation carried out on one of the pilot sites, Castelluccio di Norcia. The research was carried out within the frame of a project supported by the Civil Protection Department of the Italian Minister Council aimed at the vulnerability analysis of the historic centres.
