Seismic risk assessment of masonry buildings. Part II: Parametric investigations

This work represents a follow-up to the previous Part I. In the latter, pushover analyses have been performed for assessing the nonlinear global response of an existing masonry building, and then the Expected Annual Losses (EAL) and the safety index (IS-V) have been derived according to [1] for the seismic risk assessment. Consequently, the theme of parametric analyses is investigated in this Part II, by assuming different Knowledge Levels (KLs) and, separately, possible interventions. The Risk Class is also evaluated, aimed at comparing the strategy of interventions with that of deepening knowledge.
