The Italian territory is currently defined a total seismic area. The historical city centres in Italy consist mainly of load-masonry buildings in aggregate, composed by a group of structural units interacting each other. The vulnerability assessment of aggregates is a key aspect for the seismic risk mitigation: after recent seismic events, historical city centres showed several damages with implications of social and economic resources. The seismic risk is a function of three main aspects the hazard, the vulnerability and the exposure. There are different approaches for the vulnerability evaluation: empirical methods, analytical methods and a combination of them, the hybrid methods. In the first part of this work, after an overview of th...
