Seismic vulnerability assessment of clustered buildings in the historical center of Timisoara: fragility curves for ou-of-plane mechanisms of collapse

This thesis aims to define the seismic vulnerability assessment of the historical clustered buildings of the city of Timisoara, starting from the rapid survey on a urban scale and the most easily detectable building characteristics. The analysis is based on a typological study and allows the definition of an immediate assessment, which defines the building probability of exceeding a determinate level of damage and consequently the urgency of an eventual intervention.
