Vulnerability Assessment of Rc Buildings to Landslide Displacements. Application to Corniglio Case History, Italy.

Abstract

Abstract. The present study shows an application to a specific case history (the Corniglio village major landslide) of a recently proposed analytical method for the vulnerability assessment of RC buildings subjected to earthquake induced slow-moving slides [5]. In particular, the method is applied to a representative building which suffered considerable damage by the landslide movement [7]. The main goal is to verify the reliability and applicability of the proposed procedure and of the respective fragility curves through the comparison of the numerical prediction with the observed building damage. Two different approaches of increased complexity were followed for the fragility analysis of the building. At first, two sets of the already developed fragility curves derived from an extensive parametric analysis [6]
