Abstract
This paper presents a multi-disciplinary methodology for the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of municipal or industrial wastewater treatment plants, based on damage observation of available earthquake reports. Specific fragility curves and threshold values expressed in terms of Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) are presented and compared with existing functions. The methodology fully comply requirements of most relevant and effective risk analysis tools or for land-use planning and can be adopted for the definition of structural priorities of plants.
