INDIVIDUATION OF VUNERABILITY PARAMETERS<br />

BY PASSIVE TREMOR MEASUREMENTS<br />

Observations on the effects of various earthquakes in the world have shown that the presence<br />

of synchronization between the natural frequencies of the ground and the structure, and presence of<br />

torsional modes can increase the damage during an earthquake. So, even buildings designed according<br />

to the latest seismic standard may be called to respond in a more severe way if these effects<br />

occur. To investigate this phenomena, the passive tremor measurements on the ground and on<br />

buildings would be useful. Combined the measure with a FEM modeling information about the<br />

material used to built the structure could be inferred.<br />

Obviously, the simple passive tremor measurement not allowed high accuracy in the forecasting<br />

of seismic behavior. In fact, due to non-linear effects, the behavior of a structure (or a soil) could<br />

be different under an earthquake than a small tremor. The big displacement imposed by a seismic<br />

action cause a reduction of the stiffness of the materials and then a correspond reduction of the natural<br />

frequencies computed in an elastic hypothesis. Anyway if a synchronization ground-structure<br />

in elastic phase exists, then, probably, this condition will persist in a plastic phase too. On contrary,<br />
