Abstract

Benevento, a town of 62000 inhabitants, has been an European test-site for a detailed hazard and microzonation investigation. The town, approximately 13 sq kilometers, is located in the Southern Appennines (Italy), and in the past was affected by several earthquakes. The ancient part of the city is situated on a hill between the rivers Calore and Sabato ; the subsoil consists mainly of conglomerate formations, fluvio-lacustrine deposits and pliocenic clays, the mechanical properties of which have been obtained through detailed geological investigations and a compilation of the existing borehole and laboratory data, as well as through a literature survey. The regional seismic hazard has been estimated by different teams on the basis of the up-to-date seismicity catalogues and attenuation laws, providing uniform hazard response spectra. This information provides the basis for the site effect evaluation, presented in a companion paper.
