Seismic Vulnerability of Buildings in Athens During the 1999 Athens Earthquake

Although Greece is known to be one of the most seismic areas in the world, the earthquake of 7/9/99 in Athens was an unpleasant surprise for everyone. From the tragic experience of this earthquake, it has become clear that the damage and level of anti-seismic protection of the city's buildings directly related to the time of their construction. It is clear that buildings constructed before 1959, but also those n based on the 1959 anti-seismic building code (ie until 1985), have a low level of seismic safety. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the usual damage observed after the earthquake in buildings constructed before 1985, but also to indicate other factors that have affected the extent of the buildings’ damage and in some cases that led to undesirable ways of failure. An attempt is then made to relate the age of the buildings to the damage that arose due to the 1999 Athens earthquake and to draw conclusions for the design of reinforced concrete structures and for the structural vulnerability of Athens metropolitan center. The aim of this paper is to present some of the observations of 1999 Athens earthquake and to draw useful conclusions regarding the potential vulnerability of Athens to a future earthquake, as well as to make suggestions for its possible improvement.
