Assessment and mitigation of the fire vulnerability and risk in the historic city centre of Aveiro, Portugal (2022)
Journal Article

Identifying fire risk in urban centres is instrumental for supporting informed decision-making and outlining efficient vulnerability mitigation strategies. Historic centres are particularly complex in this regard due to the high density of combustibl...

Parameter-based seismic vulnerability assessment of Mexican historical buildings: Insights, suitability, and uncertainty treatment (2022)
Journal Article

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

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

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...
