Program
1. Introduction (Boncio/Vessia): definition of local seismic hazard and seismic microzonation.

2. Level 1 of SM (Boncio): The Italian guidelines for SM («Indirizzi e Criteri per la Microzonazione Sismica»). Maps for Level 1 SM: Map of available investigations (Carta delle Indagini), Geological-technical map and sections (Carta e sezioni geologico-tecniche per la MS), Map of homogeneous seismic microzones (Carta delle Microzone Omogenee in Prospettiva Sismica). Guidelines for land use in areas with Active and Capable faults (Linee guida per la gestione del territorio in aree interessate da Faglie Attive e Capaci).

3. Level 2 of SM (Boncio/Vessia): Applicability of Level 2 SM. Abacus for stratigraphic and topographic amplifications.

4. Level 3 SM (Vessia): Reference legislation. Regional (reference) seismic hazard. 1D and 2D Local Seismic Response. Liquefaction and earthquake-induced slope instability analysis for Seismic Microzonation (Guidelines for land use in areas affected by liquefaction and landslides, Linee guida per la gestione del territorio in aree interessate da Liquefazione).

Practical
