    Earthquakes and Buildings: Lesson Learnt From Past Earthquakes in Turkey

    Uploaded by

    deva
    This document summarizes a study on lessons learned from past earthquakes in Turkey. The study investigated building performance after several earthquakes in Turkey over the last two decades. The earthquakes revealed weaknesses in structural analysis, design rules, detailing, layout, and construction practices. Damage from earthquakes provides data on how thousands of full-scale structures perform under real seismic loads. Understanding past earthquake impacts helps improve concepts of intended loads and structural safety.

    Earthquakes and Buildings: Lesson Learnt from Past Earthquakes in Turkey


    Authors : Yavuz Yardm
    Abstract : The most important criteria for structural engineering is the structures ability to carry intended loads safely. The
    key element of this ability is mathematical modeling of really loadings situation into a simple loads input to use in structure
    analysis and design. Amongst many different types of loads, the most challenging load is earthquake load. It is possible
    magnitude is unclear and timing is unknown. Therefore the concept of intended loads and safety have been built on experience

    of previous earthquake impact on the structures. Understanding and developing these concepts is achieved by investigating
    performance of the structures after real earthquakes. Damage after an earthquake provide results of thousands of full-scale
    structure test under a real seismic load. Thus, Earthquakes reveille all the weakness, mistakes and deficiencies of analysis,
    design rules and practice. This study deals with lesson learnt from earthquake recoded last two decades in Turkey. Results of
    investigation after several earthquakes exposes many deficiencies in structural detailing, inappropriate design, wrong
    architecture layout, and mainly mistake in construction practice.
