“…Since the 1979 M7.0 Montenegro Earthquake, the Old City of Dubrovnik is enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage List [42]. Historic data for the period BC-2021 (see Figure 9), according to the Croatian Earthquake Catalogue-CEC [43], note about ten earthquakes in the region with intensity VIII or more ( • MCS) out of which the most significant is the 1667 earthquake of intensity X ( • MCS) [44,45]. Before the Great Dubrovnik Earthquake of 1667, strong earthquakes from 373 BC, 376, 1471, 1482, 1504, 1516, and 1520 are mentioned, which caused damage to the area.…”

The seismic performance assessment of heritage architecture presents many challenges due to the restrictions set forth by the conservation principles to protect the associated social and cultural values. These buildings are typically characterized by unreinforced masonry walls connected by tie-rods, vaults, and wooden floors. The era of construction dates to the time when seismic design regulations were largely unknown, making heritage structures potentially vulnerable to earthquake damage. This study presents the seismic performance assessment of the Jesuit College located in the southern part of the Old City of Dubrovnik. A series of field surveys were conducted to qualitatively examine the material composition and obtain geometrical details in part of the Croatian Science Foundation research project IP-2020-02-3531 entitled “Seismic Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage in Croatia—SeisRICHerCRO”. The structural response is thoroughly investigated by means of a complex finite element model calibrated using the frequencies determined from ambient vibration measurements and material characteristics obtained from the literature review of representative cultural heritage buildings. The seismic performance is evaluated using linear static and response spectrum analysis in accordance with Eurocode 8 guidelines for the demand seismic action level. The numerical analysis indicates several structural components in the building exhibiting high shear stress concentration and exceeding the elastic tensile limit under the demand ground acceleration level. The assessment further reveals substantial out-of-plane bending of vulnerable wall components (identified by local mode shapes) at low peak ground acceleration levels. The stress concentration in numerous structural components leads to the identification of vulnerable zones where retrofitting measures are essentially required.

“…U Hrvatskoj potresi predstavljaju najveću opasnost od prirodnih katastrofa, a tijekom povijesti mnogo ih je zabilježeno 3 . Veliki Dubrovački potres 1667. godine bio je najjači potres ikada zabilježen u Hrvatskoj 4 . Po ginulo je oko 2.200 ljudi, više od 1/3 tadašnjeg stanov ništva Dubrovnika.…”

“…This event is of great importance for the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina territory, since it significantly affects the seismic hazard assessment. The latest assessment of this event has been done Albini [6] and subsequently by Markušić et al [7]. For computing the seismic hazard it was necessary to eliminate the foreshocks and aftershocks from the catalogue, i.e.…”

The region of South-East Europe is characterized by one of the most complex seismotectonic features in the World. Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the heart of this region. The world is facing an increasing number of natural disasters among which earthquakes are on the top of the list. After extreme temperatures, it is earthquakes that cause the largest amount of deaths. To obtain an overview of the expected human and economic losses seismic risk assessment methods are used. In this paper, an example of a rapid assessment method is presented with the usage of the new hazard seismic map and its presentation, and census data for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Cities with a high-risk level are identified needing further detailed analysis.
