Parameter-based seismic vulnerability assessment of Mexican historical buildings: Insights, suitability, and uncertainty treatment (2022)
Journal Article
Ramírez Eudave, R., Ferreira, T. M., & Vicente, R. (2022). Parameter-based seismic vulnerability assessment of Mexican historical buildings: Insights, suitability, and uncertainty treatment. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 74, Article 102909. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2022.102909

The seismic vulnerability assessment of large sets of constructions is meaningful for anticipating post-earthquake scenarios in the context of loss prevention and resilience. These activities must overcome several difficulties related to the size and...

Assessing and Managing Risk in Historic Urban Areas: Current Trends and Future Research Directions (2022)
Journal Article
Ferreira, T. M., & Ramírez Eudave, R. (2022). Assessing and Managing Risk in Historic Urban Areas: Current Trends and Future Research Directions. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10(March 2022), Article 847959. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.847959

Historic urban centres are, almost by definition, risk-prone areas. The buildings in the historical sites are often highly vulnerable to natural and human-made hazards, not only due to their construction and material characteristics but also because...

On the use of web mapping platforms to support the seismic vulnerability assessment of old urban areas (2022)
Journal Article
Columbro, C., Eudave, R. R., Ferreira, T. M., Lourenço, P. B., & Fabbrocino, G. (2022). On the use of web mapping platforms to support the seismic vulnerability assessment of old urban areas. Remote Sensing, 14(6), Article 1424. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14061424

European countries are affected by various levels of seismic hazard, including many areas with medium to high seismicity. Heavy damage over large areas has been observed in past earthquakes in these countries, particularly in masonry buildings locate...

Combining structural and non-structural risk-reduction measures to improve evacuation safety in historical built environments (2021)
Journal Article
Bernardini, G., & Ferreira, T. M. (2022). Combining structural and non-structural risk-reduction measures to improve evacuation safety in historical built environments. International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 16(6: Sustainability, Risks and Resilience of Vernacular Heritage), 820-838. https://doi.org/10.1080/15583058.2021.2001117

Historical city centres are critical-built environments prone to earthquake risk because of the features of the complex network of Architectural Heritage, facing Open Spaces (OSs) and the users hosted by them. Structural measures, such as building re... Read More about Combining structural and non-structural risk-reduction measures to improve evacuation safety in historical built environments.
