ABSTRACT

Masonry churches represent a significant construction typology at risk from earthquakes, as clearly shown by recent seismic events. For a quick assessment of the vulnerability of historical churches, a very effective method is the well-known form for the evaluation of damage and vulnerability based the macro-element approach. Anyway, in the calculation of the vulnerability index of the method intangible aspects related to architectural, historical and artistic value are not included.

This paper proposes a procedure that combines the above-mentioned vulnerability analysis with the evaluation of architectural and artistic assets such as frescoes, statues and paintings, by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process. A site test, involving eight churches in Valencia (Spain) and Tuscany (Italy) regions, shows how important it is to provide a complete overview of a church’s structural condition that includes its artworks in order to create a priority scale for the assessment, retrofitting and protection of existing masonry churches.

摘要

最近的地震事件清楚地表明，砖石教堂是一种重要的建筑类型，面临地震风险。为了快速评估历史教会的脆弱性，一种非常有效的方法是基于宏观因素评估破坏和脆弱性的众所周知的形式。无论如何，在计算该方法的脆弱性指数时，与建筑、历史和艺术价值相关的无形方面不包括在内。

本文提出了一种程序，通过应用层次分析过程，将上述漏洞分析与建筑和艺术资产（如壁画、雕像和绘画）的评估相结合。一项涉及瓦伦西亚（西班牙）和托斯卡纳（意大利）地区的八座教堂的现场测试表明，提供包括其艺术品在内的教堂结构状况的完整概览是多么重要，以便为评估、改造创建优先级和保护现有的砖石教堂。
