  Following the L'Aquila earthquake in 2009, AFPS (French Association of Earthquake Engineering) sent a mission to investigate the effects of this earthquake (seismological, structural and societal aspects were investigated). It has been observed that most of the damaged buildings were generally irregular in plan and/or in elevation and that their design details were not suitable to take into account the seismic risk. The damaged structures were generally located in the vicinity of L'Aquila, in a square area of 400 km2. This article presents the main observations of this mission regarding the structural behaviour of typical buildings in the L'Aquila surrounding, and investigates the advantage of a capacity design analysis. A special consideration is given to soil configurations in this area and will be related to each structural approach.

  Les observations faites au cours de la mission post-sismique AFPS (Association Française de génie ParaSismique), suite au séisme de L'Aquila (2009) ont montré que les bâtiments endommagés ou détruits, présentaient tous, outre des irrégularités en plan et/ou en élévation, des défauts de conception et/ou de mise en ouvre, principalement au niveau des dispositions constructives. Cet article a pour objectif de présenter les observations structurales des membres de cette mission quant au bâti courant, en valorisant l'intérêt d'une approche de dimensionnement en capacité, visant un fonctionnement et une ductilité choisis.
