dc.description.abstract | Large earthquakes that have occurred in recent years in densely populated areas of the world (e.g. Izmit, Turkey, 17 August 1999; Duzce, Turkey, 12 November 1999; Chi-Chi, Taiwan 20 September 1999, Bhuj, India, 26 January 2001; Sumatra 26 December 2004; Wenchuan, China, May 12, 2008; L’Aquila, Italy, April 6, 2009; Haiti, January 2010 Turkey 2011) have dramatically highlighted the inadequacy of a massive portion of the buildings erected in and around the epicentral areas. For example, the Izmit event was particularly destructive because a large number of buildings were unable to withstand even moderate levels of ground shaking, demonstrating poor construction criteria and, more generally, the inadequacy of the application of building codes for the region. During the L’Aquila earthquake (April, 06, 2009; Mw=6.3) about 300 persons were killed and over 65,000 were left homeless (Akinci and Malagnini, 2009). It was the deadliest Italian earthquake since the 1980, Irpinia earthquake, and initial estimates place the total economic loss at over several billion Euros. Many studies have already been carried out describing the rupture process and the characteristics of local site effects for this earthquake (e.g. D’Amico et al., 2010a; Akinci et al., 2010). It has been observed that many houses were unable to withstand the ground shaking. | en_GB |
