First Level Pre- and Post-Earthquake Building Seismic Assessment Protocol Based on Dynamic Characteristics Extracted In Situ

The present work is concerned with the introduction of a new first level pre- and post-earthquake seismic assessment protocol for buildings that relies on use recorded structural response. As earthquakes represent constant unpredictable threat building stock around globe, protocols already in assessing risk should be revised also take into account information hidden data field. Nowadays, collection does not require expensive equipment over-qualified personnel. In this direction, proposed aims to illustrate ease widely adopting Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) (e.g., accelerographs), based has been carried out over past years subjects related earthquake estimation. Building taxonomy damage estimation, like those found Hazus®–MH other hazard tools, can enriched modified properly distinguish classify very earthquake-prone from others, tag them further rehabilitation as codes suggest.
