| Abstract: |
In the last twenty years, forensic investigations of failures occurred in Italy have clearly highlighted that the increasing demand in society for economic growth has favoured the blooming of less conservative and even hazardous design and construction works. After a short review of the Italian codes of practice dealing with structural vulnerability, some examples of structural vulnerability assessment in Italy is given in the article, with reference to both the large scale (i.e. the scale of the building) and the small (territorial/regional) scale. |
