Description:
A real-time urban seismic network for seismic and
structural health monitoring is being installed in the city of
Catania (Sicily, Italy). The 27 monitoring stations, specifically
designed and assembled, equipped with a low-noise 3-axial
MEMS accelerometer, are located in 23 high exposure and
vulnerability buildings. In this paper we present the
characteristics of the monitoring station and of the network. In
case of strong seismic events, the system will provide shake maps
to the emergency management centre, and will allow to assess the
health conditions of the monitored buildings. The network is
conceived to be further expandable over the whole historical city
centre of the city of Catania.
