Vulnerability of dwellings Sample Clauses

Vulnerability of dwellings. The age of a building can be a good indicator to quantify its vulnerability towards natural events: for instance, the oldest buildings are usually made in traditional masonry and their structures can be in a poor state of repair. They could consequently be less resistant. In addition, newer buildings are made with reinforced concrete elements, and are stronger. Moreover, the quality of construction of these reinforced-concrete buildings has evolved in the recent years: steel of better quality has been used, and higher standards of construction have been introduced (for instance earthquake-resistant building standards). The INSEE report classifies by date, the construction of the main residences in every town of the test site (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx.xxxxx.xx, see Table 20): Table 20 Main residences in the towns of the studied site classified by dates of construction Barcelonnette Enchastrayes Faucon-de-B.

In addition, the proportion of buildings for each construction period is quite similar in each town; new houses have been built quite homogeneously over time, with a small increase for the period 1975-1989. Also of use for the vulnerability studies is the information contained in the INSEE reports on multi-storey buildings (Table 21). Table 21 Number of multi‐storey buildings (main residences) classified by dates of construction. Percentage of multi‐storey buildings (main residences) in the towns of the test site.

Theses two towns include a traditional Mediterranean town centre characterized by a dense area of old buildings. Moreover, Barcelonnette is also composed of more recent collective housing, constructed between 1949 and 1989. These buildings have generally been constructed from reinforced concrete elements and are likely to...
