Survey in Portis Vecchio (UD, Italy)

SPRINT-Lab researchers brought the students of the master's degree course in "Safety and Civil Protection" and some Civil Protection personnel to Portis Vecchio (Venzone, UD, NE of Italy). The survey allowed the inspection and comprehension of seismic damage on buildings in an existing scenario. Portis Vecchio was abandoned after the 1976 earthquake, as it was located under an impending rock-fall landslide; nowadays, it shows a situation of “how it was” immediately after the 1976 earthquake. This case of real post-earthquake scenario has been recognized as extremely useful for full-scale exercise sessions purposes.
