Abstract
On the 6 th of April 2009 a Mw = 6.3 earthquake occurred in the region of Abruzzo situated in central Italy having an epicenter very close to the centre of the city of L’Aquila. The event produced casualties and damage to buildings, lifelines and other infrastructures. The headquarters of the post-earthquake emergency management, directed by the command and control (Di.Coma.C) task force, was established temporarily in the training academy of the Guardia di Finanza (Finance Police). This complex of structures is located 3km from the epicenter of the earthquake in the suburb of Coppito. During the first two months following th e event, all the buildings in the complex were subjected to an extensive Seismic Vulnerability evaluation. The academy complex is principally composed of r/c structural bu ildings with the addition of some steel and precast r/c structures .This fast seismic evaluation was performed in order to assess the structural safety level of all buildings a nd their suitability for hosting the emergency response coordination as well as special even ts such as the G8 summit which took place on the 8 th of July 2009. All activities were carried out in coordination with the Italian civil defense department and RELUIS (a Networ k of Seismic Engineering Laboratories). Several operation units (UO) coming from differe nt Italian universities participated in the structural assessment and the general outcom es of the vulnerability assessment performed by the University of Basilicata (UNIBAS) are reported in this paper. In particular, the results of: (i) the building damage assessment , (ii) in-situ diagnostic investigations on constitutive materials, (iii) dyna mic identification tests and (iv) the evaluation of the residual resistance of the structure through a simplified procedure are detailed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
