Following the 7th and 11th May, 1984 quakes which shook a wide area in Abruzzo, a study was carried out to identify the differences in seismic response. At Pescasseroli and Civitella Alfedena where the geological features are similar, the damage was governed by building characteristics. In three other villages the damage distribution was a function of the structural and lithological features of the foundation terrains. -from English summary
