Seismic risk assessment of precast industrial buildings in Italy by the GEOSAFE platform

Precast industrial buildings play a fundamental economic role due to the production and commercial activities they house. However, due to their structural characteristics and functional importance, they are vulnerable to significant economic losses in the event of an earthquake. In this context, insurance companies are crucial for the financial coverage of earthquake-related losses, and they need to rely on a reliable seismic risk assessment tool. This study focuses on the application of a method to assess the seismic risk of precast buildings using GEOSAFE, a service developed by ANIA Safe. The main objective is to demonstrate the potential of GEOSAFE as a tool for rapid seismic risk assessment of precast industrial buildings. Different scenarios were considered, including both “as-built” and “retrofitted” conditions for existing precast industrial buildings. The risk assessment covers both structural and non-structural components as well as industrial equipment. The results are presented in the form of damage probabilities for each component type, along with graphical outputs generated via the GEOSAFE platform.
