“…A DI formula was presented, where the DI is defined as a linear combination of plastic deformation, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation of a structure during an earthquake. The results of this methodology are presented in many articles [20,22,23].…”

The possibility of creating an "ID card" for each new and existing building in urban areas, based on transfer of necessary data into electronic format, is analysed in the paper. Local governments, public institutions, organizations, and building owners are thus able to obtain parametric information about the building using smart phones or tablets. Thanks to QR application, the access to building Inventory under seismic impact has become extremely fast and easily accessible via smart phones and tablets. The proposed IOS/ Android system greatly reduces the need to go through administrative formalities to obtain information and documents relating to an earthquake-prone building.

“…The problem of estimation of earthquake-induced structural damage can also be solved by calculating the so-called damage ratio (DR). A relatively simple and rapid analysis of potential earthquake damage based on the coefficient of damage, as a numerically expressed value indicating the level of structural damage, was proposed by Morić et al [63,64] and Hadzima-Nyarko et al [65,66].…”

Due to increases in the number of inhabitants and their concentrations in densely populated areas, there is a growing need in modern society to be cautious towards the impact of catastrophic natural events. An earthquake is a particularly major example of this. Knowledge of the seismic vulnerability of buildings in Europe and around the world has deepened and expanded over the last 20 years, as a result of the many devastating earthquakes. In this study, a review of seismic risk assessment methods in Croatia was presented with respect to the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability of buildings in the fourth largest city (Osijek) in Croatia. The proposed algorithm for a detailed risk assessment was applied to a database and is currently in its initial stage.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1796 2 of 24 to estimate the losses. These losses can be assessed in a material form, through the damage of the building stock or non-structural elements of buildings, or in the form of casualties or injuries during the earthquake [10,11]. The last step is to analyze uncertainties, costs, decision-making criteria, etc. The ultimate goal of studying earthquakes and their impact on people and buildings is to create a safer environment, in case an earthquake occurs.The basic elements of the earthquake risk assessment process are shown in Figure 1.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1796 2 of 25 probable intensity in a given geographical area). Then, based on the available data from the exposure model, evaluate the damage using one of the existing vulnerability assessment methods in order to estimate the losses. These losses can be assessed in a material form, through the damage of the building stock or non-structural elements of buildings, or in the form of casualties or injuries during the earthquake [10,11]. The last step is to analyze uncertainties, costs, decision-making criteria, etc. The ultimate goal of studying earthquakes and their impact on people and buildings is to create a safer environment, in case an earthquake occurs. The basic elements of the earthquake risk assessment process are shown in Figure 1.

“…Vulnerability assessments of the cultural heritage located in seismic areas has been actively researched [1,2]. In the papers by [1,2], the authors proposed a nondestructive and relatively fast but accurate seismic vulnerability assessment of heritage buildings in Tvrđa, the old core of Osijek city. However, performing a detailed analytical design can be of great significance in order to validate this fast seismic vulnerability method.…”

The structure of Tvrđa and its buildings date back to the Middle Ages. Tvrđa represents the Old Town of the city of Osijek and the best-preserved and largest ensemble of Baroque buildings in Croatia. After the withdrawal of the Ottomans in 1687, during the 18th century, the Austro-Hungarian administration systematically formed a new fortification system, regulated streets and squares and built a large number of military objects. Tvrđa took its present form in the 19th century and has kept it since then. Investigating the historical development of individual buildings, in addition to archival sources and existing architectural documentation, the obvious source of information are the buildings themselves. The aim of this paper is to explore the possibilities of using infrared thermography to find structural elements and hidden openings in historic buildings in Osijek's Tvrđa. This paper describes the exploration of the 18th century openings on the facades of the former Kostić houses. The facades were bricked into the walls in the 19th century because houses were reused and their purposes changed from commercial to residential. Infrared thermography is often a starting, nondestructive testing method (NDT) for building analyses. This paper presents thermographic analyses of two buildings. The analyses were carried out in December 2017 and January 2018. Using a steady-state thermographic analysis of a building envelope as the first step, the audit was continued with step heating (SH) of an interest point where changes in a thermal pattern were expected due to additional bricking. Heat flux was generated by the usage of a heat gun for paint removal.
