We present the first results of the analysis of seismic vulnerability carried out on a historical brickwork building of the fifteenth century in Ferrara, taken as being emblematic of a type of construction that was very common at that time, characterized by a large loggia on the ground floor. The study was conducted using the method of kinematic analysis in compliance with new Italian legislation regarding seismic events. A 3D Laser Scanner survey of the main façades has enabled a detailed representation to be made of the present geometry of the building. A more thorough investigation of the historic records and type of building has provided further useful information for an accurate estimate of seismic vulnerability

Abstract
We present the first results of the analysis of seismic vulnerability carried out on a historical brickwork building of the fifteenth century in Ferrara, taken as being emblematic of a type of construction that was very common at that time, characterized by a large loggia on the ground floor. The study was conducted using the method of kinematic analysis in compliance with new Italian legislation regarding seismic events. A 3D Laser Scanner survey of the main façades has enabled a detailed representation to be made of the present geometry of the building. A more thorough investigation of the historic records and type of building has provided further useful information for an accurate estimate of seismic vulnerabilityI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
