Abstract
About a month after the February 27, 2010 Chilean seismic event, an Italian investigation mission visited the area damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. The team surveyed various building typologies (reinforced concrete, steel, masonry, adobe, etc.) from North to South towards the epicenter, i.e. the cities of Santiago, Vina del Mar, Valparaiso, Rancagua, Curico, Talca, Chillan, Concepcion, Talcahuano, Yumbel, Lota Alto, Schwager, etc. Furthermore, all the coastal line fromTalcahuano to Constitucion has been also ran through, in order to check the very impressive tsunami effects. Finally, the behaviour of some Chilean historic buildings is briefly evaluated, in comparison with similar ones hit by the April 2009, L'Aquila earthquake. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, London.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
