Reasons for CP – research connection

  • Reaching scientific consensus on evaluations that

imply wide uncertainties;

  • Optimising the resource allocation for risk mitigation;
  • Making precise and rapid forecasting, for fast and

effective emergency actions;

  • Making effective search and rescue operations;
  • Optimising resources and actions for emergency
  • vercoming.

From the CP viewpoint, good reasons for a strong connection between research and CP are related to:

slide-5
SLIDE 5

Positive implications for the scientific community, apart from getting funds for research activities are:

  • 1. the clear finalisation of the research activities,
  • 2. the enlargement, rather than the limitation, of the

investigation perspectives, too often otherwise finalised to the achievement of academic advancements.

  • 3. the ethical value of a research with direct and

positive social implications.

Reasons for CP – research connection

slide-6
SLIDE 6

A strong link between CP and scientific community had already been developed after the 1976 Friuli earthquake, continuing until 2002. These projects involved the whole scientific community: both seismological and earthquake engineering research programmes were funded. A strong impulse was thus given to these research areas. A new stronger connection and integration between CP and research started in 2004, with a new organization

  • f the relationships

between the ICPD and the scientific community.

NATIONAL WARNING SYSTEM

The National warning system is provided by DPC and Regions by:

  • “Functional Centres”

(Centre for Forecasting and Surveillance of Effects - CFSE) CFES’s collect, elaborate and exchange every kind of data to provide a multiple support system for decisions.

  • “Competence Centres”

(Centre for Technological and Scientific services, development and transfer - CTS) CTS’s are institutions which provide services, information,data, elaborations, technical and scientific contributions for specific topics to share the best practices in risk assessment and management.

SEI SMI C I TALI AN CODES

Until 2003 the Italian seismic code remained unclear in its basic scopes. A behavior factor of about 4-6 was implicitly assumed for most structural types, without enforcing adequate detailing. The ductility concept was not explicitly reported in the code. Few information was given about assessing, upgrading or retrofitting existing buildings

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Seismic action expressed by elastic response spectra with defined probability of exceedance; Effects of soil amplification; Expected performances of the structure; Influence of structure characteristics, like geometry, regularity and constructive rules, on ductility; Influence of ductility on the design action; Rules to consider fragile and ductile components;

Rules of capacity design; Seismic isolation and energy dissipation; Both linear and non linear analysis allowed; Proper attention devoted to existing buildings.

Almost 7000 seismic safety verifications and more than 200 retrofitting interventions have been funded until now, since 2004. Though significant, these figures represent only a small part of the strategic and relevant constructions potentially involved in this process. About 42.000 public schools exist in Italy and their retrofitting costs are of the order of several billions of euros. An initial program has been funded with about 500 million euros to upgrade

E' un improvviso e rapido scuotimento della crosta terrestre provocato dai movimenti delle zolle o placche in cui è suddiviso l'involucro esterno della Terra (litosfera).

Cosa è una scossa di terremoto ?

Quando lo sforzo a cui sono sottoposte le rocce, a seguito dei movimenti delle zolle, supera il loro limite di resistenza, esse si rompono lungo superfici chiamate faglie. L'energia accumulata, prima della rottura, si libera sotto forma di onde sismiche che si propagano in tutte le direzioni dalla zona origine, in profondità, fino sulla superficie (come quando si lancia un sasso nello stagno). Il terremoto, come l'attività vulcanica, e' la manifestazione della continua trasformazione ed evoluzione del nostro pianeta.

USABILITY Post-earthquake usability evaluation is a quick and temporarily limited assessment, based on expert judgement of specially trained technical teams, on visual screening and on easily collected data, aimed to detect if, during the current seismic crisis, damaged buildings can be used, being reasonably safeguarded the human life.

A) USABLE Building can be used without measures. Small damage, but negligible risk for human life. B) USABLE WITH COUNTERMEASURES Building is damaged, but can be used when short term countermeasures are taken C) PARTIALLY USABLE Only a part of the building can be safely used D) TEMPORARILY UNUSABLE Building to be re-inspected. Unusable until the new inspection. E) UNUSABLE Building can not be used due to high structural, non structural or geotechnical risk for human life. Not necessarily imminent risk of total collapse. F) UNUSABLE FOR EXTERNAL RISK Building could be used, but it cannot due the high risk caused by external factors (heavy damaged adjacent or facing buildings, possible rock falls, etc.)

Development of a dynamical model for seismic hazard assessment at national scale

Coordinators: W. Marzocchi (INGV - BO) and E. Faccioli (Politecnico, Milano) DPC Tutors: F. Sabetta and A. Lucantoni

The main objective of this project is to design, test and apply an open- source code for seismic hazard assessment (SHA) primarily suited for the needs of CP.

Basically, the code should allow:

  • 1. an easy updating of SHA, depending on the availability of new

data and models,

  • 2. the use of different scientific “ingredients”,
  • 3. a formal evaluation of uncertainty in SHA,
  • 4. a multi-parameter output.

CONCLUSION (1)

  • General growth of interest on EE and Seismology,
  • General increase of the scientific quality of research in

these fields, Main drawbacks were:

  • Inadequate finalisation of the products,
  • Some inconsistencies of the results not solved within

the research groups –consensus not reached. The long Italian experience of scientific research on seismic risk problems, finalised to CP use, results in a positive balance. Main benefits from research-CP interaction in the previous 25 years (1978-2003) period were:

SLIDE 109

CONCLUSION (2)

  • More well-structured CP-finalised research,
  • Best coordination among RU’s for CP-objectives

achievement,

  • Products of ready use (e.g.: spectral hazard maps,

Strong Motion DB, Seismic code provisions, Guidelines, etc.),

  • Substantial increase of experimental investigations,
  • Substantial increase of data exchanging and

comparisons in large groups,

  • Achievement of consensus on results.

Progress achieved in the research-CP interaction in the past 5 years (2003-08) period are:

slide-110
SLIDE 110

CONCLUSION (3)

  • Define suitable objectives of CP-funded research,

respondent to CP needs and consistent with the state-

  • f-the-art,
  • Set up programmes whose costs are acceptable,
  • Utilise correctly the results in the general CP

framework,

  • Cooperate in project developments, to better

understand actual problems and find the best solutions for CP aims. A smart interface between scientific and CP communities is necessary, in order to:

slide-111
SLIDE 111

CONCLUSION (4)

  • Monitor soil and structures with mobile instrumentation,

to evaluate aftershock effects,

  • survey earthquake effects on natural (landslides,

liquefactions, soil fractures, etc.) and built environment (macroseismic survey, damage assessment, etc.). In the future, a structured involvement of CTS’s is envisaged even in the emergency phase to: Also in post-event activities important synergies could be established between research and CP: EARTHQUAKES REPRESENT FULL SCALE EXPERIMENTS THAT PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT AND STIMULATING HINTS FOR SCIENTISTS.
