A Multiscale Approach for the Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Historical Centres in Masonry Building Aggregates: Cognitive Approach and Interdisciplinary Perspectives
ABSTRACT The seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry building aggregates involves different variables, many of which are of uncertain evaluation. To this aim, in this paper, a holistic multiscale…
Post-Earthquake Assessment of a Historical Masonry Building after the Zagreb Earthquake—Case Study
After the Zagreb earthquakes in March 2020, around 25,000 buildings were estimated damaged, most of them being in the historic city center. This fact is not that surprising since most of the city…
