Abstract text:
This paper presents a GIS-based methodology for monitoring the seismic performance, while taking into account the deteriorations revealed during GIS-based scenarios aiming at the identification of the seismic serviceability of the structure. By applying the geographical information system (GIS) containing geo-spatial data, one can develop useful scenarios to improve the knowledge of structural vulnerability of the urban built infrastructure. Scenarios of modelling, simulation and non-linear seismic analysis are described and applied to a class of damaged models for some of the structures typical of the existing urban infrastructure of Jassy, Romania. The management of GIS-based seismic vulnerability of existing concrete structure is presented as a tool for awareness and mitigation of seismic effects of possible future events in the urban area.
