“…Future developments will have to promote research activities aimed at validating the quality of CARTIS data in vulnerability and risk analysis and expanding the database, so that it can be considered representative of Italian municipalities by demographic class and altimetric area. In addition, to make the CARTIS database more usable and shareable, it will be necessary to implement simplified data extraction procedures (Leggieri et al, 2022;Sandoli et al, 2022).…”

Large-scale risk assessments relevant to natural hazards are commonly based on very poor exposure and vulnerability data, often drawn from census data. In fact, obtaining a detailed knowledge of the built heritage is a very hard task especially for those countries, like Italy, characterized by very high urban density and large variety of building typologies, where a building-by-building knowledge can sound as a utopian ambition. Nevertheless, exposure and vulnerability are two of the four factors governing, along with hazard and capacity, risk convolution, and hence their uncertainties yield to corresponding uncertainties in the resulting expected losses. The lack of suitable information on building typologies is responsible of very strong simplifications in risk analyses, like the assumption of the same building typologies, indistinctly scattered all over the Country territory, without distinctions at a local or at a regional level. With the goal of improving exposure description and reducing such uncertainties, since 2014 the Italian Civil Protection Department (ICPD) has undertaken a new research branch in the framework of ReLUIS (Network of University Laboratories in Earthquake Engineering) projects, dedicated to territorial analyses, by funding also the CARTIS project. The project has the goal to characterize the building structural typologies trough a data collection at a local and an extensive scale in Italy, with the final aim to improve the reliability of seismic risk analyses. The paper describes the method and some first statistics so far elaborated.

“…According to, [21][22][23][24][25][26] the CARTIS model developed was organised into four levels of information (from Section 0 to Section 3) that enable: (i) acquire data about the major characteristics of the investigated urban sector; (ii) archive the relevant data of the prevailing building typologies; (iii) collect the information about the geometric and mechanical characteristics of the surveyed buildings; and (iv) outline the possible structural and non-structural elements of the inspected buildings. In the specific case study, the urban area is divided into three small compartments (C0i), namely C01, the historic centre, C02, the first expansion zone, and C03, the second expansion zone.…”

The study proposed a seismic vulnerability methodology applied to the historical centre of Castelpoto, located in the province of Benevento (Southern Italy). The seismic vulnerability of the examined aggregates was examined using an index‐based procedure specifically developed for structural masonry compounds. The structural details and specific characteristics of building aggregates are crucial in determining the seismic vulnerability of buildings in urban environments. Parameters such as the plan configuration, size, and layout of buildings, including the thickness, height of the masonry walls and the connections among different components of the construction, were appropriately considered, since all might have an impact on their seismic performance. Furthermore, the type of masonry, the strength and composition of the mortar, as well as the quality of constructions, can also contribute to the global seismic performance of buildings. These structural parameters, collected in the used form, were correlated to the Masonry Quality Index (MQI) to provide an exhaustive assessment of the capacity (in‐plane and out‐of‐plane mechanisms) of the bearing elements towards seismic loads. Secondly, the susceptibility to damage of the existing building stock was evaluated by applying a parametric simulation of damage scenarios adopting an appropriate Intensity Prediction Equation (IPE). To this purpose, fault models were acquired from the Database of Individual Seismogenic Sources (DISS) and the considered IPE was validated according to the Italian Macroseismic Database (DBMI). Thus, the proposed research aims to highlight how an accurate assessment of masonry strength is crucial during the inspection phase to optimise the prediction of the expected damage scenario allowing for effective risk mitigation in urbanised contexts.

“…A tal proposito, senz'altro la strada da perseguire per una migliore gestione dell'emergenza, è quella di una sempre maggiore integrazione tra strumenti schedografici e sistemi informativi territoriali, in cui è possibile, non solo archiviare e geo-localizzare, ma anche gestire e interrogare i dati raccolti dalle schede Leggieri, Mastrodonato & Uva, 2022).…”

The heritage of military architecture brings together many fields; it’s been called an “inexhaustible source of research and perspectives” for architects, engineers, archaeologists, historians, and operators in the field of cultural heritage. The subject of knowledge and valorization of fortification works presupposes a multidisciplinary approach aimed at recognizing the different values found in the constructions. Only recently has there been an awareness of the importance of this heritage, which is in constant danger; such attention has helped in defining a series of international strategies “for the protection, conservation, interpretation and preservation of fortifications and military heritage” (ICOMOS Guidelines on fortifications and military heritage, 2021). FORTMED 2023 moves within this rich cultural context in the belief that the dissemination of data is the essential tool for sharing knowledge. The international conference Fortifications of the Mediterranean Coast, FORTMED 2023, opens its sixth edition in Pisa. The conference, organized by the Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Energia, dei Sistemi, del Territorio e delle Costruzioni (DESTeC) of the University of Pisa, in collaboration and with the contribution of the Municipality of San Giuliano Terme, will be held on March 23, 24, and 25, 2023, at the Centro Congressi Le Benedettine.
