A Systematic Approach Concerning the Assessment and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Buildings of Catania City
This paper describes how the Catania I Project has yielded some preliminary results regarding the losses consequent to different seismic scenarios in the Catania area. The objective of the Catinia II Project is to gain a deeper insight into the problem starting from the results of the previous project, through the development of a “Detailed seismic scenario finalized to losses reduction in the urban area of Catania city.” Concerning the losses mitigation, the authors of the paper have been involved in the development and implementation of two products: a Code of Practice concerning the Assessment and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Buildings, an intelligent data bank supporting and integrating the guidelines and aiming at assisting operators in the task of acquiring the data and assessing the vulnerability.
