Assessing active and capable faulting as best practice for post-earthquake reconstruction activities: the Sant’Eutizio Abbey case study, in the epicentral area of the 2016 central Italy seismic sequence
Abstract:Surface faulting is, together with strong ground shaking, a hazard associated with major earthquake faults. Assessing surface faulting potential of a given active tectonic structure is a fundamental prerequisite to adequately plan the use of territories and to perform new constructions, in order to act practices aimed to mitigate the associated risk. Assessing the surface faulting potential represents also ground for correctly performing re-construction and retrofitting of buildings and infrastructures during … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
