Abstract
Assessment of the seismic damage and usability of the building stock started a few days after the L’Aquila earthquake in order to evaluate the safety conditions of the buildings concerned. Several ordinances of the Prime Minister were issued to regulate the reconstruction process. In particular, based also on damage level, the procedures for repair, strengthening or demolition/reconstruction of residential buildings were established with the definition of relevant state funding. For each damaged building, practitioners engaged by property owners designed repair and strengthening interventions and then computed the corresponding costs. These projects were the technical basis for funding applications that owners submitted to the government. Technical and financial information collected during the approval procedure of such applications allowed compilation of a database regarding 5775 residential buildings damaged by the L’Aquila earthquake. The present study examines the restoration policy and the procedures regulating the reconstruction process of residential property outside city centres. In particular, the data related to the first phase of the reconstruction process (the so-called “light damage” reconstruction) to recover the usability of slightly damaged buildings are illustrated. The discussion focuses on the time-to-approval of funding applications and on the public contributions granted for repair and local strengthening works. © 2016 Springer Science+Business Media DordrechtI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
