Seismic resistance assessment of heritage masonry buildings in public use in Ljubljana

Recently developed parametric approach for seismic vulnerability and seismic resistance assessment and its correlations with previous methodologies are described in this article. The methodology is based on the previously collected parameters of seismic resistance analysis of existing, mainly heritage masonry buildings all over Slovenia. Using this methodology, seismic resistance of several groups of masonry buildings has been assessed. Most of them are in public use in the Municipality of Ljubljana (MOL): fire stations, health centres, older buildings of elementary schools and kindergartens, some buildings of authorities and administration and older residential buildings. The results are presented in dependence of the year of construction, as well as the share of a certain vulnerable level in each group. The results again showed the reflection of the professional knowledge into design, construction practice and the level of seismic resistance.
