Post-Seismic Damage Assessment of a Historical Masonry Building: The Case Study of a School in Teramo
The historical masonry buildings are characterised by a great vulnerability regard the seismic action, as the recent events occurred in Central Italy have highlighted. During the seismic emergency the authors, in collaboration with the Civil Protection Department as part of the ReLUIS activities, have carried out usability inspections, analysing also the case study described in this paper. The structure, a school in Teramo, was already affected by previously seismic damages and it has been highly involved by the seismic events abovementioned. In this work the results of first inspection, reported in the AeDES form, and a more accurate visual inspection are presented in terms of detection of the crack patterns and evaluation of the seismic damages index. Moreover the vulnerability index has been calculated according to the GNDT 2° level method. The vulnerability index is finally used to calculate the damage index expected for the seismic intensity registered during the seismic event of October 30, 2016, and compared with the observed post-seismic damage level.
