Abstract
AbstractThe latest studies concerning seismic risk assessment in Italy were developed without considering the site geo-lithological effects, thus limiting the assessment to rock soil type. In this study, for the evaluation of site amplification effects, we used the results of recent works based on the Italian seismic microzonation data. As this first study is performed for the entire Italian territory at the municipality scale, the site amplification factors (AFs) have been assigned to the chief town of each of the 7715 Italian municipalities, assuming that the building stock is concentrated in that small area. The AFs have been compared with those foreseen by the Italian building code (NTC2018). The PGA amplification with the new AFs ranges from 1 to 2.2 bringing to an average increase of 75% in the hazard, compared to 27% if using the NTC2018 amplification. The seismic risk has been evaluated using the probabilistic hazard assessment adopted in the NTC2018 and recent vulnerability/exposure models developed for Italy. The residential building stock was subdivided into 5 vulnerability classes (3 for masonry and 2 for concrete) derived from the national census data and further refined using the construction age and building height. The results show that, for a rock site condition, the loss estimates are comparable with those of previous works in terms of casualties, homeless, and economic damage. The introduction of the site effects brings to a significant increase in the expected losses resulting higher than the historical data retrieved from a careful analysis of the major Italian earthquakes. This suggests the importance of developing new fragility curves based on updated AFs. To support the implementation of risk reduction programs, a seismic risk index is introduced, allowing a municipality ranking by risk, a cost estimation of the seismic retrofitting in the highest risk municipalities, and an assessment of the consequent risk reduction.
