Some of the causes leading to the weakness of the Monument
ALL BUILDINGS IN THE TOWN A methodology based on the EMS-98 classification, with a vulnerability refi- nement through behaviour modifiers ALL MONUMENTS IN THE TOWN Probabilistic evaluation of the damage (fragility curves), by observed vulnera- bility (past earthquakes) and expertise.
Vulnerability of the old aggregates, due to interactions and irregularity
ALL BUILDINGS IN THE TOWN Simplified capacity curves for each European building type (HAZUS + new curves for European masonry, r.c., …) MACROELEMENTS APPROACH Simplified capacity curves for some collapse mechanisms in the churches (façade overturning, triumphal arch) HISTORICAL CENTRE Simplified capacity curves for some collapse mechanisms, typical of histo- rical centres (façade overturning) MAIN MONUMENTS Capacity curves from n.l. analysis (simplified or f.e.m.)
distribution of damage grades is given by DPM (Damage Probability Matrix) or fragility curves; the seismic input may be in PGA or Intensity; the method is based on the observed vulnerability.

HELIKE
An earthquake in 373 b.c. generated a trsunami that destroyed and submerged Helike in the waters of a coastal lagoon. In 2001, archaeologists discovered the first traces of the long-lost site of Helike, a classical Greek city buried in an alluvial plain on the southwest shores of the Gulf of Corinth.

HERAKLEION
KNOSSOS
The old (first) palace was built in around 2000 B.C. but it was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 1700 B.C. The new (second) palace, more complex in plan, strongly resembling a labyrinth, was constructed immediately afterwards.

Maximum values are observed in both components at 0.17 sec (5.8 Hz) (Dominant Frequency of the Building).

Probabilistic and deterministic estimation of the maximum anticipated values
