Quali-quantitative evaluation for the definition of antiseismic recovery interventions in historical buildings

The evaluation of the seismic vulnerability in historical buildings represents an area of recent interest in relation to the need to define appropriate interventions to improve the quality, compatibility with the historical-architectural characters, as well as with the static behaviour. The present work shows a completion of an operational methodology for the definition and evaluation of effectiveness of antiseismic recovery interventions in historical buildings defined qualitative-quantitative approach. The methodology allows you to define a coordinated system of structural interventions, appropriate in relation to the specific historical-architectural and technical-constructive characters of these structures giving a higher degree of security. The articulation operates as to take into account both the qualitative aspects, related to the technology of construction and to the rule of the art, and the quantitative aspects of the numerical analysis of the characteristics of resistance of the structural elements. The methodological approach has found a specific validation with reference to a masonry and concrete structure: a public housing complex called “Gruppo Piave – ex Gondar” in the city of Bari (Italy).
