Abstract: 

The vulnerability assessment of the different buildings identified in the historical centre of Vittorio Veneto (NE Italy) is here proposed. The preliminary classification of the masonry building typologies allowed us to identify the main, typical characteristics affecting the seismic vulnerability of existing structures. The analysis is performed at a global level for the whole centre and then focused on the oldest and most vulnerable part, namely Serravalle. Two procedures, developed at the University of Padova and the University of Bath, both based on the macro-modelling approach, have been used. The prediction of damage scenarios obtained through fragility curves calibrated on the EMS98 damage classification and on the parameters obtained by the AeDES survey form, is also discussed.
