Session 2.2 GNGTS 2024 (a) (b) (c) Fig. 2 – Visual comparison between the weighted DS2 EXPLORA VM and the SERA (Crowley et al. 2020), Serbia (Blagojević et al. 2023), Slovenia (Babič et al. 2021) and Italy (Rosti et al. 2021) VMs. The weights calibrated in correspondence of the DS2 are then applied to all the DSs of each building class. The complete EXPLORA VM is depicted in Fig. 3 in comparison with the relevant damage data. (a) (b) (c) Fig. 3 – Visual comparison between the EXPLORA VM and the damage data for all the damage states (DSs): DS1 (brown), DS2 (magenta), DS3 (yellow), and DS4 (blue). As shown in Fig. 3, the proposed EXPLORA VM reasonably captures the empirical behavior of the building classes identified for Montenegro, particularly for the URM-St and CFM. However, a slightly worse comparison is observed for the URM-Br building class. This discrepancy arises because the various VMs chosen for comparison do not accurately represent the damage data for this specific building class in DS2, as can be observed in Fig. 2 (b).
