Building reparability after an earthquake is a cent
ral issue for a sustainable engineering.
Effective policies
concerning building reparability should account for
building Initial Performance (IP) before an earthq
uake and of
Performance Loss (PL) due to seismic damage, proper
ly accounting of repair/strengthening costs. This p
aper
presents a pushover based procedure for evaluating
IP and PL and demonstrates its usability by means o
f a case study
for an RC building. Moreover, preliminary estimatio
n of damage-dependent reparation costs for the case
study
building shows the possibility of associating PL th
resholds to reparability limit states
