A Simplified Approach for the Seismic Loss Assessment of RC Buildings at Urban Scale: The Case Study of Potenza (Italy)

Comprehensive methodologies based on a fully probabilistic approach (i.e., the performance-based earthquake engineering approach, PBEE), represent refined and accurate tool for seismic performance assessment of structures. However, those procedures are suitable building-specific evaluations, appearing extremely time-consuming if applied at urban scale. In proposed contribution, simplified loss procedure will be scale with reference to residential building stock center Potenza. After identification main reinforced concrete (RC) structural typologies definition specific archetype numerical models, direct estimation expected annual (DEAL) methodology derive EAL loss) RC buildings, deriving information effectively quality (or resilience) aforementioned built heritage Similarly, monetary losses associated downtime evaluated. Preliminary considerations socio-economic effects scenarios territorial also proposed.
