Abstract

The paper consists of a descriptive report on seismic performance of the Built Heritage in Amatrice Valley (located in Central Apennines, Italy), hit by the Amatrice 2016 Earthquake of 24th August 2016. The report presents the outputs of a direct survey conducted in situ during a mission undertaken between the 26 August and the 28 August 2016. A preliminary seismic damage assessment of masonry Built Heritage is provided through a phenomenological approach, based on the description of images taken in situ. The detected damages were classified according to four basic types: walls disaggregation, out-of-plane mechanisms, in-plane damages and non structural damages. The post-seismic survey sites visited and analysed are located along the Amatrice Valley, with reference to the following villages: Casale, Collalto, Collecreta, Collepagliuca, Cossito, Faizzone, Moletano, Petrana, Ponte a Sommati, Prato, Rocchetta, Saletta, San Lorenzo Flaviano, Sant’Angelo, Sommati, and Voceto.
