Structural Significance

The structural significance of the damage scenarios characteristic of VIII and IX degrees on the MKS macroseismic scale is discussed with reference to the seismic behaviour of the buildings which make up the urban fabric of a historic town or city. In an VIII degree scenario, damage is limited to structurally precarious situations, while a IX degree scenario involves seismic damage to external walls. Mechanical interpretation of these scenarios provides the basis for intervention strategies sufficiently well defined as to constitute a guide for seismic damage prevention programmes. VIII degree damage is prevented by identifying precarious situations. while IX degree damage requires systematic action. A proposal is put forward for the clarification of seismic regulations and the usefulness of evaluating future earthquakes in macroseismic terms with reference to the safety requirements of new buildings is discussed.

In this paper a procedure for the evaluation of the interaction between existing buildings’ seismic damage and residual roads’ serviceability is proposed. The problem of the interaction between jutting buildings and roads is relevant in the seismic assessment of the residual functionality of roadway networks belonging to urban centres, where, in general, the urbanization has shown lack of road networks’ residual connectivity in the past quake experiences. The study proposes a comprehensive approach for the probabilistic assessment of the residual functionality of the urban network links, moving from the execution of the buildings external surveys, the application of probabilistic concepts and the use of fuzzy logic with the final aim to outline the potential urban network damage scenarios. The methodology is applied to the municipality of Conegliano (North-Eastern Italy) evaluating the potential seismic damage scenarios to the historical urban centre and highlighting the potential criticalities in the post-earthquake rescue operations.
