Within ‘heritage buildings’, a distinction can be made between ‘historical buildings’, i.e. those that can be defined as buildings of artistic an/or cultural value and which are found in significant numbers, and ‘monumental buildings’ that are truly unique. This paper summarizes existing procedures for the seismic reliability assessment of both heritage building categories: statistics can be applied to ‘historical buildings’ while it appears possible to evaluate the reliability of ‘monumental buildings’ only by subjective probabilities. Specific procedures are described for both cases.

Abstract
Within ‘heritage buildings’, a distinction can be made between ‘historical buildings’, i.e. those that can be defined as buildings of artistic an/or cultural value and which are found in significant numbers, and ‘monumental buildings’ that are truly unique. This paper summarizes existing procedures for the seismic reliability assessment of both heritage building categories: statistics can be applied to ‘historical buildings’ while it appears possible to evaluate the reliability of ‘monumental buildings’ only by subjective probabilities. Specific procedures are described for both cases.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
