Seismic Vulnerability and Consolidation by FRP/FRCM Systems of a Masonry School Building in the District of Naples

Resumen

The paper discusses the seismic vulnerability of structures susceptible to overcrowding due to their intended use. Specifically, it addresses the analysis towards earthquake actions of a masonry school located in the Municipality of San Giorgio a Cremano, within the neighbourhood of Naples, providing different reinforcement interventions to ensure its seismic consolidation. After a brief introduction, the description of the analysis representative of the current condition of the structure is performed considering both static and seismic actions. The analysis results determine the seismic risk class of the building, allowing to identify its deficiencies, so to design structural consolidation interventions following the standard code indications. In particular, two retrofit techniques, namely, FRP and FRCM systems, are proposed with the purpose to evaluate their benefits to the school building from a seismic viewpoint. Finally, a comparison between the proposed intervention techniques is made to establish which one guarantees the best upgrading of the seismic condition of the examined building.
