Abstract (EN): For a long time, reactive seismic retrofitting was focused on monumental heritage and very little on vernacular architecture. In the last years, there has been a growing interest on seismic resistant design and solutions and several research units emerged to produce important research in the scientific field. However, for some time, international focus to address earthquake-damaged buildings was on intrusive techniques and technological materials to retrofit monuments. This paper aims to explore how the research project SEISMIC-V intends to fill the gap regarding this critical research problem. The research will contribute to the awareness and protection of the local seismic culture. The project outcomes will provide data for the strengthening of seismic-resistant architectural components in in-use vernacular heritage.
