“…The peculiarity of this method, proposed by [31], is the possibility of investigating the seismic vulnerability of buildings grouped in compounds through the vulnerability form depicted in Table 2. This form, based on the method proposed by Benedetti and Petrini many decades ago [32,33], is appropriate for masonry building aggregates, and uses five new parameters, additional with respect to the original form ten parameters proposed by the above-mentioned researchers, which take into account the effects of mutual interaction under earthquakes among aggregated Structural Units (S.Us).…”

The present research aims to estimate the influence of site amplification on the seismic vulnerability of the historical centre of the municipality of Baranello in the Molise Region of Italy. Firstly, a structural and typological characterization of the investigated area has been done according to the EMS-98 scale. Subsequently, the vulnerability assessment of the historical buildings located there has been carried out through an appropriate survey form in order to identify the buildings which are most susceptible to seismic damage. To this purpose, the seismic event occurring in October of 2002 has been selected as a reference earthquake. Moreover, according to the AeDES form implemented by the Italian Civil Protection Department to evaluate the usability of constructions after seismic events, the calibration of the typological vulnerability curves of the built-up area has been done, and a quantitative assessment of the local seismic response has been achieved, based on the seismic motions recorded after the 2002 Molise earthquake. Finally, the local amplification factor, which negatively influences the severity of the seismic damage on the structures, has been taken into account in order to more correctly foresee the expected damage of the inspected urban sector, so as to use more appropriately the achieved results for reliable seismic risk mitigation plans.

The large-scale seismic risk assessment is a crucial point for safeguarding people and planning adequate mitigation plans in urban areas. The current research work aims at analysing a sector of the historic centre of Senerchia, located in the province of Avellino, in order to assess the seismic vulnerability and damage of old masonry building compounds. First, the typological classification of the inspected building aggregates is developed using the CARTIS form developed by the PLINIVS research centre in collaboration with the Italian Civil Protection Department. The global seismic vulnerability assessment of the building sample is carried out using the macroseismic method according to the EMS-98 scale in order to identify the buildings most susceptible to seismic damage. Furthermore, 12 damage scenarios are developed by means of an appropriate seismic attenuation law. Finally, the expected damage scenarios considering the local hazard effects induced are developed in order to evaluate the damage increment, averagely equal to 50%, due to the seismic amplification of different soil categories.The type of housing is called the "house on a slope". As in the second war, the population did not want to abate the use of building on the rock, even the second housing expansion along the Vallone river saw the buildings erected on the rocky coast [22]. The 1980 Irpinia EarthquakeThe Irpinia earthquake occurred on 23 November 1980 at 7:34 pm. A strong shock (X degree of the Mercalli scale) lasting about 90 s, with a hypocenter of about 12 km depth, striking an area of 17,000 km 2 that extended from Irpinia to Vulture, straddling the provinces of Avellino, Salerno and Potenza [23].The municipalities most severely affected by the earthquake were Castelnuovo di Conza,The type of housing is called the "house on a slope". As in the second war, the population did not want to abate the use of building on the rock, even the second housing expansion along the Vallone river saw the buildings erected on the rocky coast [22].

“…The overturning mechanism is especially active for taller buildings, which in most cases correspond to those more vulnerable and more likely to develop damage. The realisation of damage maps and the study of failure mechanisms allow the identification of areas of building heritage where a seismic event can develop major damages [36,37]. This can guide the municipality administration towards the implementation of retrofitting interventions performed before or after the seismic events [38].…”

This research proposes the development of a diagnostic tool to separately inspect the energetic and seismic behaviour of buildings in the small hamlet of Baia e Latina (district of Caserta) in order to evaluate and implement retrofitting interventions from seismic, energetic, and functional points of view. Methods, approaches, and tools relating to the minimisation of seismic vulnerability and energy consumption have been increasingly used and tested in order to ensure both sustainability and safety, with a connection that may improve the performances of both cultural and environmental heritage. The diagnosis method, stemming from the energy audit and the energy imprint evaluations of the buildings system (and the envelope above all), aims to redesign the whole construction or some of its parts within an energetic framework. With reference to the seismic behaviour of building aggregates, the basic methodology that has been conceived for isolated masonry buildings through a survey form has represented the starting tool for the application of an appropriate quick evaluation form considered for the aggregated structural units of historical centres. Finally, the methodology employed is aimed at obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate for the structural units of examined masonry aggregates without neglecting their seismic behaviour, which has been assessed in terms of vulnerability and damage.
