“…Additionally, it is crucial to consider whether to demolish or strengthen these buildings by conducting the necessary inspections and structural analyses on the stock of existing structures that have not suffered heavy damage as a result of earthquakes. The first step of this application will be to identify the buildings that require a detailed inspection and to prioritize the risks by using rapid assessment techniques [39][40][41][42].…”

On 6 February 2023, two major earthquakes, MW7.7 and MW7.6, occurred in the Kahramanmaraş city region of southeast Türkiye. As a result of the earthquakes that affected the region, around 60,000 people died and thousands of buildings suffered various levels of damage. In this study, the collapse and failure mechanisms of precast reinforced concrete structures, most of which are industrial buildings, and the damages occurred in these structures, were investgated through on-site observations. As a result of the investigations carried out in the field immediately after the earthquake, it was understood that most of the damage was caused by the connection system of the precast structures. The most common damage is the separation of the roof beam from the column due to the weak column–beam connection system. At the end of the paper, studies to strengthen and improve suggestions for this poor behavior will be mentioned. Also, by analyzing a sample structure, the performance levels were determined by comparing it with the damage limit values in TBEC-2018.

“…The information gathered by the latter helps the training of artificial neural networks in order to refine the evaluation of seismic vulnerability and the exposure of buildings. Still, in the framework of RVS, [82] proposes an 'identity card' of buildings stored in a remote database that is accessible through a QR code attached to each building in the study area. Finally, hazard and risk analyses performed according to GEM were translated into a digital tool [83].…”

Empirical data on the seismic behavior of masonry buildings are collected by technicians through rapid visual assessment procedures, i.e., by filling in forms that organize information in short answers or ticks. The resulting empirical database serves as a basis for prevention strategies, but the archiving and the post-processing of data are always a potential cause of losses and misinterpretations. New technologies are nowadays entering seismic risk analyses as a support to the usual visual approach. This paper proposes a new application for Android mobile devices that digitalizes an assessment form (MUSE-DV) able to collect damage and vulnerability data of masonry buildings in seismic areas, including information on strengthening interventions applied to buildings in the past. The client–server architecture of the app considers local devices communicating over the web with a central unit; data processing is split between them to reduce network and resource needs. This approach is convenient with thin devices, such as smartphones, and in post-disaster situations, when the mobile network may not be available. Data collected onsite can be stored in remote archives and therefore shared among technicians without affecting the integrity and consistency of the database. The whole dataset can be extracted and processed by a dedicated software for statistical and spatial analysis. The MUSE-DV procedure was validated in the area struck by the 2016 Central Italy earthquake and the app presented here was preliminarily tested onsite on the buildings of Castelsantangelo sul Nera (Macerata district); the results contributed to damage and vulnerability analyses by the means of thematic maps.

“…Follows integration of the information relative to the vulnerability of man-made structures that should involve respective research results in Croatia and worldwide, study of local specific buildings, critical and essential infrastructure (hospitals, schools, bridges) and all other parameters that are needed for a more accurate assessment of physical damage. All databases must be continuously developed and extended, as well as adjusted to various needs [102]. The above mentioned clearly points to the need for linking together the experts in various related domains (integration of knowledge) and institutions (from national to local government units) through an appropriate platform (centre with legitimacy, such as IZIIS).…”

Seismic risk for Croatia: overview of research activities and present assessments with guidelines for the futureAn overview of numerous methodologically different risk assessments, including sporadic individual initiatives, is presented from the perspective of a leading expert for earthquake risk assessments for Croatia. The aim of the paper is to evaluate and discuss contributions of each of the assessments, but also to caution about their deficiencies i.e. limitations. A common methodology for estimating seismic risk is described by analysing each of its factors, by providing an overview of current research in Croatia and worldwide, and by offering guidelines for further strategic actions, as all existing results reveal that earthquake is an unacceptable risk for Croatia.
