Dražen Aničić

Abstract

Principal data on the seismic activity in Zagreb area are presented. Original data on damage inflicted on masonry buildings in Zagreb and, in particular, on monumental Zagreb cathedral, are given. It is emphasized that the seismic microzoning has still not been made for the city of Zagreb. The rehabilitation activities undertaken in the late 19th century and current structural condition of the cathedral are analyzed. Additional investigations are proposed to determine the condition of building materials and to verify resistance of this valuable edifice to earthquake action.
