TLDR
In this article, a performance-based assessment procedure is proposed on the basis of Italian guidelines for seismic risk mitigation of cultural heritage, in order to support the interpretation of observed damage, which could be used for small-to-medium size artworks such as museum contents, historic archives and libraries, and archaeological elements.

Modification of Empirical Strong Ground Motion Attenuation Relations to Include the Amplitude and Duration Effects of Rupture Directivity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed modifications to empirical strong ground motion attenuation relations to account for the effects of rupture directivity on strong motion amplitudes and durations, based on an empirical analysis of near-fault data.

Framework for analytical quantification of disaster resilience

TL;DR: Resilience function captures the effect of the disaster, but also the results of response and recovery, the effects of restoration and preparedness, and becomes an important tool in the decision process for both the policy makers and the engineering professionals.
