Abstract:
The project aimed to investigate the problem related to the identification of elements of earthquake-resistant architecture, which can be identified in the vernacular heritage in use. It aimed to verify the concept of “Local Seismic Culture”, in a consistent way, in Portugal. according to current security parameters.
