Abstract

This research aims at studying the effects induced by the seismic sequence occurred in 2016 in the Central Italy. The mainshock recorded, which had a moment magnitude of 6.0, caused substantial damages to several historical centres of different Italian regions. In the paper, the attention is focused on the damage scenario of an urban sector within the old town of Amatnce. Firstly, the Risk-UE method has been applied to characterize the physical vulnerability of the construction types detected there. Finally, a probabilistic scenario analysis has been performed to estimate the damages of the examined sector deriving from the occurred earthquake, which has been compared to that deriving from the design spectrum at the Life Safety limit state contemplated in the current Technical Italian code (NTC 2018).
