Session 2.2 GNGTS 2024 Ulcinj Bar Budva Tivat Kotor Herceg Novi Cetinj e Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) VII VIII IX VIII IX VI VII Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) [g] 0.4 0.5 0.65 0.45 0.37 0.3 0.32 Tab. 2 – Seismic event (SE) intensities identified in 7 municipalities. (Petrovski et al. 1984) classifies buildings based on their construction materials, namely: i) unconfined stone masonry buildings (URM-St), ii) unconfined brick masonry buildings (URM-Br), and iii) confined masonry (CFM). For each one of these building classes, the respective DS associated with all surveyed buildings is recorded. These results are reported in Fig. 1 (a) - (c). Conversely, in (Pavićević Božidar S 2004) the DSs are indicated for the 7 municipalities reported in Tab. 2. Being characterized by MMI ≥ VI, it is assumed that all the municipalities were completely inspected, consistently with what was observed in (Dolce & Goretti 2015) after the L’Aquila earthquake. This assumption ensures the availability of unbiased data for damage characterization. The damage data encompassed all types of construction materials, including masonry, reinforced concrete (RC), and steel. Acknowledging that masonry buildings constituted approximately 90% of the entire building dataset across all municipalities, we hypothesized that all damage pertained to masonry structures. The resulting damage data extracted from (Pavićević Božidar S 2004) is summarized in the histograms in Fig. 1 (d) - (l). One can note that the report (Pavićević Božidar S 2004) does not indicate specific building classes, such as URM-St, URM-Br, or CFM.
