REDUCTION OF PEAK GROUND ACCELERATION FOR MONUMENTAL BUILDINGS VIA SUBSOIL TREATMENTS – THE CASE STUDY OF VILLA FAVORITA
No full text. This paper explores the possibility to obtain the reduction of seismic actıons on historical buildings through subsoil treatments. The study is motivated by the unsatisfactory degree of protection of many historical buildings from seismic risk, and by the in-adequacy and/or the inability to adopt the reinforcement or base isolation methodologies. The paper, through the seismic subsoil response by 1D modeling of a suitable case study, i.e. the ancient park on the sea of Villa Favorita in Herculaneum, a site well-characterized in terms of geology, stratigraphy, and mechanical properties of the soil; analyze the effects of possible artificial variations of soil properties on the surface seismic sıgnal
Seismic Vulnerability Reduction for Historical Buildings with Non-Invasive Subsoil Treatments: The Case Study of the Mosaics Palace at Herculaneum
No full textThe possibility to reduce the seismic vulnerability of historical buildings through subsoil treatments aimed to modify the seismic site response is a recent advancement in earthquake engineering: the paper presents the case study of the Mosaics Palace, located close to the archeological site of Herculaneum which is about 10 km south of Naples. The study was developed through uncoupled dynamic analysis of the seismic site response and of the masonry structure.
All the available information on the subsoil were collected and integrated with on-purpose in situ tests; a 1-D subsoil model was adopted for linear equivalent seismic response analysis. Several hypotheses of soil treatments, spanning from soft to stiff grouted layers, were taken into account.
On the other hand, the capacity of the structure was defined by a pushover analysis and compared to the seismic demand for each soil treatment option, allowing for a final assessment of the effectiveness of the proposed technology on the building performance

Seismic vulnerability reduction for historical buildings: the case study of House of mosaics
No full textThe present paper explores the possibility to obtain the reduction of seismic vulnerability of historical buildings through subsoil treatments, in order to reduce the seismic actions. The study is motivated by the unsatisfactory degree of protection of many historical buildings with respect of seismic risk, and by the in-adequacy and/or the inability to adopt the reinforcement or base isolation methodologies used on the new con-structions. The issue has been addressed through a multi-disciplinary approach. A suitable case study was se-lected, i.e. the ancient Villa Favorita park on the sea in Herculaneum, a site well-characterized in terms of geology, stratigraphy, and mechanical properties of the soil. These features allowed to simulate the seismic subsoil response by 1D modeling, with site effects exclusively induced by the stratigraphy. The seismic beha-viour of the building, with high historical-architectural value, was accurately reproduced by a 3D model. The study was conducted through uncoupled numerical analysis of the site response and the structure in elevation, analyzing the effects of possible artificial variations of soil properties on the seismic safety of the building
