Abstract and Figures

The EU-H2020 project ARCH aims to develop and adapt tools and methods for assessing and improving the resilience of historic areas to climate-related and other natural hazards [1]. One of these tools is CIPCast, a scenario simulation and decision support system for the analysis and forecast of risks and vulnerabilities of critical infrastructure components and their interdependencies. In this paper, we describe the basic functionalities of CIPCast, as far as the application to seismic risk assessment is concerned and we provide an overview of the models behind it. Furthermore, a brief discussion on how we plan to extend CIPCast to model and simulate potential risks and impacts induced by climate change to historic areas, and how this is intended to support resilience assessment strategies, is provided in the conclusions .

This paper presents a novel decision support system for the assessment and mitigation of seismic risk for Critical Infrastructures (CI). The tool, named CIPCast-ES, was developed by ENEA in the framework of the EU-funded CIPRNet project. CIPCast-ES provides a user-friendly geographical interface for querying and analysing data, producing and evaluating scenarios, through the deterministic assessment of the expected physical damage to CI components and the induced impacts for both real and simulated seismic events. A novel contribution introduced in CIPCast-ES, compared to similar simulation platforms, is the integration, in a unique framework, of: (i) real-time acquisition of earthquake events (source: INGV); (ii) seismic fragility assessment of the different components for the different CI systems considered; (iii) estimation of damage and impact scenarios; (iv) estimation of restoration times for CI services and informed support for an optimal allocation of resources. The paper presents the data model that was specifically designed to account for topological and system performance properties and the adopted metrics used to assess CI seismic vulnerability, damage and service impacts. An implementation of CIPCast-ES related to a seismic event in Central Italy affecting the inhabited area of Rome and its Distribution Electric Power Network is presented and discussed in the paper.

The EU FP7 Network of Excellence CIPRNet has developed CIPRTrainer, an application that provides a new capability for training crisis management (CM) staff. It enables exploring different courses of action and comparing their consequences (what-if analysis) in complex simulated crisis and emergency scenarios. The simulation employs threat, impact, and damage models and is based on federated modelling, simulation and analysis of Critical Infrastructures. In this chapter, we present an overview of the technical realisation of CIPRTrainer, embed the approach into the state of the art, and elaborate on CIPRTrainer’s user interface and the training experience. The chapter also explains how the models for the complex crisis scenarios have been created, what level of detail could be realised, and how cases of missing data could be handled. As an example, we use a cross-border scenario about a cargo train derailment disaster. In the final sections, the reader learns how to set up, start and perform a training session with CIPRTrainer, how to use ‘what if’ analysis, and how to read the results of consequence analysis.

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are complex technological tools, which enable an accurate and complete scenario awareness, by integrating data from both “external” (physical) situation and current behaviour and state of functioning of the technological systems. The aim is to produce a scenario analysis and to guess identify educated the most efficient strategies to cope with possible crises. In the domain of Critical Infrastructures (CI) Protection, DSS can be used to support strategy elaboration from CI operators, to improve emergency managers capabilities, to improve quality and efficiency of preparedness actions. For these reasons, the EU project CIPRNet, among others, has realised a new DSS designed to help operators to deal with the complex task of managing multi-sectorial CI crises, due to natural events, where many different CI might be involved, either directly or via cascading effects produced by (inter-)dependency mechanisms. This DSS, called CIPCast, is able to produce a real-time operational risk forecast of CI in a given area; other than usable in a real-time mode, CIPCast could also be used as scenario builder, by using event simulators enabling the simulation of synthetic events whose impacts on CI could be emulated. A major improvement of CIPCast is its capability of measuring societal consequences related to the unavailability of primary services such as those delivered by CI.

The OSS (acronym of the Italian name “Osservatorio Sismico delle Strutture”) is a network of permanent seismic monitoring systems installed in public buildings, and also in some bridges and a dam. Each system consists of a number of sensors sufficient to completely describe the dynamic behaviour of the structure. Structural typologies have been selected according to their representativeness of the public building stock and to their importance for the emergency management. Some relevant aspects are addressed, including: (i) a brief description of the network, (ii) a résumé of data usually collected and organized for each structure (structural survey and in situ tests on materials, experimental modal analysis, FEM models and structural identification) and (iii) a description of data management tools and procedures (network operation performance, post-earthquake automatic analysis, public access to data). At the end, on-going and future use of OSS data is briefly discussed, with reference to statistical analysis of relevant parameters of the available records, real-time post-earthquake damage assessment and an in-field reconnaissance visit after a recent earthquake.

We deal here with the task of realistically assessing macroseismic intensities of historical earthquakes causing significant damage to cities, from the perspective of using such assessment in the construction of earthquake damage scenarios. As is well known, the latter are critically influenced by the uncertainties that inevitably affect the intensity assessments based on the interpretation of written and other historical records, often resulting in an overestimation of the severity of ground shaking. To cope with this shortcoming, a very carefully selected and documented set of observations is used to develop two empirical correlations based on instrumental data (mostly from Italian earthquakes): one using magnitude and distance as independent parameters, and the other a ground motion parameter (maximum velocity, maximum acceleration or effective peak acceleration). The input data and results of a preliminary previous study are here significantly updated and improved: 1. by introducing a well known technique in regression analysis, the determination of magnitude dependence is decoupled from the determination of distance dependence; 2. macroseismic intensity data entries are critically revised in order to use only comparable intensity scales; 3. particular attention is paid to the homogeneity of the data set distribution in magnitude and distance. The differences with respect to the instrumentally based correlation developed in California for ShakeMaps evaluations are also shown. The application of the correlations obtained is illustrated for the case history of Catania city (Italy), suffering destruction by a late 17th century earthquake for which extensive historical documentation of damage exists. We conclude that a felt intensity IX is likely to provide a realistic assessment of the severity of the January 11, 1693 mainshock (alone) in the city.

Italian strong-motion data were used to study the attenuation of response spectra and to simulate artificial accelerograms as a function of magnitude, distance, and site geology. The database has already been utilized for the study of the attenuation of peak ground acceleration (PGA) and velocity and consists of 95 accelerograms from 17 earthquakes of magnitudes ranging from 4.6 to 6.8. Using multiple regressions, we developed empirical predictive equations for the vertical and horizontal components of response spectra corresponding to 14 frequencies ranging from 0.25 to 25 Hz. Predictive equations, aimed at the ground-motion simulation, were also estimated for time-dependent frequency parameters, strong ground motion duration, and Arias intensity. The shape of the predicted spectra is strongly dependent on magnitude and nearly independent of distance. Alluvium sites show an amplification effect, with respect to stiff sites, in different frequency ranges according to the thickness of the soil deposit. The vertical/horizontal spectral ratio in far field varies, with magnitude and frequency, from 0.35 to 0.85. The resulting response spectra are compared with the predictions of some recent attenuation relationships and with those proposed by the Eurocode EC8. The simulation of nonstationary strong ground motions is achieved through an empirical method where time and frequency features of the motion are represented through the physical spectrum, extending the spectral moments theory to the nonstationary case. The simulated time histories fit the recorded accelerograms in terms of several ground-motion amplitude measures, such as peak acceleration, peak velocity, Fourier spectra, and response spectra. The principal advantage of the proposed method consists in correlating the simulation parameters with earthquake magnitude, source distance, and soil conditions.

The European Commission funded the RISK-UE project in 1999 with the aim of providing an advanced approach to earthquake risk scenarios for European towns and regions. In the framework of Risk-UE project, two methods were proposed, originally derived and calibrated by the authors, for the vulnerability assessment of current buildings and for the evaluation of earthquake risk scenarios: a macroseismic model, to be used with macroseismic intensity hazard maps, and a mechanical based model, to be applied when the hazard is provided in terms of peak ground accelerations and spectral values. The vulnerability of the buildings is defined by vulnerability curves, within the macroseismic method, and in terms of capacity curves, within the mechanical method. In this paper, the development of both vulnerability and capacity curves is presented with reference to an assumed typological classification system; moreover, their cross-validation is presented. The parameters of the two methods and the steps for their operative implementation are provided in the paper.

A new set of empirical equations for prediction of displacement response spectral ordinates from 20Hz to T = 20s is illustrated. The coefficients of the equations were obtained by regressing a dataset based on 1,155 tri-axial digital and 9 analog accelerometer records from 60 earthquakes worldwide. Long period disturbances in the accelerograms were evaluated and removed using a very recent method, aimed at preserving the long-period spectral content of the records. Analysis of variance has disclosed only little evidence for regional dependence of ground motions, while a carefully conducted evaluation of site effects resulted in clearly differentiated spectral amplification bands associated to the main ground types B, C, and D of Eurocode 8. Spectral ordinates for vibration periods >5s were found to scale with magnitude quite consistently with theoretical scaling from Brune’s model. On the other hand, comparison of results with those yielded by recent prediction models in Europe and the United States (NGA), indicated that the latter may not be uniformly reliable at long periods. The proposed empirical equations are easily implemented in computer programs for seismic hazard assessment, being characterized by a simple functional form and a restricted number of predictor variables.

Current debates about urban sustainability tend to focus on technical issues, such as carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste management, or on the economic aspects of urban regeneration and growth. Increasingly, however, governments recognise the contribution that built cultural heritage makes to the social well-being of different groups living within increasingly cosmopolitan towns and cities. Heritage is seen as a major component of quality of life, but the two main methods of identifying and protecting built heritage – the listing of individual monuments and buildings and designation of conservation areas – are unable to deal with less tangible features of townscape, such as street patterns. Yet it is often precisely these features that give a city its unique character and provide the sense of belonging that lies at the core of cultural identity. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to examine the role that built cultural heritage can play within sustainable urban development.The paper considers changing definitions of built heritage before outlining the broad contribution it can make to sustainable urban development. The paper then considers how the built environment contributes to the satisfaction of human needs by providing symbolic meanings that bind cultural groups and communities across generations. Results from the development and application of a novel survey method, designed to assess different people's perceptions of and attitudes to urban historical areas, are presented before describing a case study of recent urban development in Belfast that highlights the problems of intangible heritage. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of shortcomings of existing approaches to urban regeneration and suggests how these might be overcome through a greater understanding of how people interact with the urban environment and its heritage.
