Abstract

Retrofitting and management strategies of existing RC buildings are actually a crucial topic. In this work, a novel approach in order to define a retrofitting and management strategies is reported. The main goal is define a framework based on multidisciplinary approach. An accurate seismic performance evaluation model is considered. This probabilistic model is combined with a probabilistic depreciation model in order to define a completely probabilistic model to economic life prediction. The proposed methodology can be used in different way and applications. It can be the basis of both methods of mitigation of seismic risk strategies and as reference tool for seismic insurance model for wide building stock.
