“…The aftershock series that strikes the already damaged buildings, the damage estimation models and reporting during field inspections are also very important. Here, economic losses of few damaging earthquakes in the region can be mentioned, e.g., 1963 M6.1 Skopje earthquake, North Macedonia (fatalities 1063; economic loss 5B euros), 1979 M6.9 Montenegro earthquake (136; 25B euros), 1997 ML5.9 Umbria-Marche earthquake (12; 5B euros), 2009 M6.3 l’Aquila earthquake (309; 15B euros), and 2012 M6.1 Emilia-Romagna earthquake (28; 13.2B euros) (Daniell et al 2012 ; Dolce and Di Bucci 2017 ; Mircevska et al 2019 ; Rossi et al 2019 ).…”

This paper highlights the principal features of the Mw5.4 Zagreb earthquake. Located within the city limits at a depth of 10 km, the earthquake generated a peak ground acceleration of more than 0.2 g and a maximum spectral acceleration of about 0.6 g at 0.1 s in the historic downtown area. The situation was particularly challenging since the event occurred amid a partial Covid-19 lockdown at temperatures close to 0 °C, emphasizing the extensive and complex vulnerability of the local communities and individuals. 27 people were reported severely injured, one of which later died. The surprisingly high economic costs, needed to achieve a full reconstruction of damaged buildings and infrastructure in the affected area, are currently evaluated at more than 10B euros. Description of the organization of the emergency response in the first days and the observed damage to buildings is given with typical examples. The focus is on the performance of older masonry residential and cultural heritage buildings in the historic downtown, their inspection and evaluation of damage to structural and non-structural components. This information provides the basis for understanding of the negative impacts and clarifies the overall context identifying the enablers and barriers to the still ongoing recovery process. It also helps to increase the awareness of the seismic vulnerability of European cities with similar construction practices.

“…R E-R (2012a, b). A preliminary economic analysis of the reconstruction of the affected businesses was described in ARR (2018) and R E-R (2018), while an introduction to SFINGE and first data analysis results were reported in Rossi et al (2019a, b). A first contribution regarding the empirical seismic fragility curves for precast RC structures from 2012 Emilia evidences was given in Buratti et al (2017); in this case, the information is mostly coming from field surveys.…”

“…A first contribution regarding the empirical seismic fragility curves for precast RC structures from 2012 Emilia evidences was given in Buratti et al (2017); in this case, the information is mostly coming from field surveys. On the contrary, in the following, fragility and loss curves are obtained from SFINGE's data: this means that the here adopted information went through the entire Emilia-Romagna's internal procedure for data crosschecking and validation (see Rossi et al 2019a). Additionally, in this work, relevant economic aspects are considered among the seismic consequences.…”

“…• Damage and loss didn't occur to real-estate but rather to content (products and/or machineries); in this case, building's data were also collected in SFINGE, but they are not included in the LSB dataset-see Rossi et al (2019b). • The insurance policy paid full compensation for the suffered loss (the rate of insurance penetration within the area is assessed to be in the order of 10%, see Rossi et al 2019a).…”

“…A large part of the resulting database, so-called SFINGE (R E-R 2012b), is dedicated to buildings used for business purposes in industry, trade and agriculture. In SFINGE, there are more than 5300 different funding requests, referring to damaged, demolished, reconstructed and relocated structures (Rossi et al 2019a). A relevant and internally consistent subset of SFINGE-with 2104 listed units-is that regarding the so-called "Long-Span-Beam" buildings (in the following, LSB); such buildings are very often single-storey, with a simple rectangular plan and prefabricated RC o metal beams between 10 and 20-m long.…”

The 2012 Emilia-Romagna earthquake, that mainly struck the homonymous Italian region provoking 28 casualties and damage to thousands of structures and infrastructures, is an exceptional source of information to question, investigate, and challenge the validity of seismic fragility functions and loss curves from an empirical standpoint. Among the most recent seismic events taking place in Europe, that of Emilia-Romagna is quite likely one of the best documented, not only in terms of experienced damages, but also for what concerns occurred losses and necessary reconstruction costs. In fact, in order to manage the compensations in a fair way both to citizens and business owners, soon after the seismic sequence, the regional administrative authority started (1) collecting damage and consequence-related data, (2) evaluating information sources and (3) taking care of the crosschecking of various reports. A specific database-so-called Sistema Informativo Gestione Europa (SFINGE)-was devoted to damaged business activities. As a result, 7 years after the seismic events, scientists can rely on a one-of-a-kind, vast and consistent database, containing information about (among other things): (1) buildings' location and dimensions, (2) occurred structural damages, (3) experienced direct economic losses and (4) related reconstruction costs. The present work is focused on a specific data subset of SFINGE, whose elements are Long-Span-Beam buildings (mostly precast) deployed for business activities in industry, trade or agriculture. With the available set of data, empirical fragility functions, cost and loss ratio curves are elaborated, that may be included within existing Performance Based Earthquake Engineering assessment toolkits.
