Damage risk and scenarios in the Veneto - Friuli area (NE Italy)

The assessment of seismic damage to residential buildings and the estimation of human losses in the Veneto - Friuli area (NE Italy) have been considered at different scales of analysis and, in conformity with the hazard analysis trend, at different levels of investigation. Over a wide area, defined by nearly all the municipalities of three provinces in the area, a full probabilistic damage assessment has been performed, based on a regional probabilistic seismic hazard estimation. Then, deterministic seismic damage scenarios were generated on two sub-regional areas, centred on the Vittorio Veneto municipality; the ground motions derive from two different simulations of the 1936 Cansiglio event (M 5.8), and from a hypothetic M 6.7 seismic source located in the Montello area.
