In Turkey, most of the existing buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes due to their poor material quality and inaccurate design. Besides, so many destructive earthquakes occurred in the past, because Turkey is located on a seismically active region. Therefore, existing buildings should be assessed and necessary precautions should be taken before a probable earthquake. To assess seismic performance of the existing buildings, the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code offers two methods which are linear and nonlinear. For linear assessment, members are controlled by comparing the force demands and capacities where for nonlinear assessment, strains corresponding to the plastic rotations of the members are compared with the limits given in the code. In this study, the building, which stands in Bakırköy district of İstanbul, was assessed according the linear elastic and nonlinear static procedures given in the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code. In addition, it was retrofitted by adding shear walls to the structural system and same assessment procedures were performed. In the last case study, building is re-designed according to the code and re-assessed. Comparative results and conclusions were summarized in the last chapter.

Comparative study of commercial structural analysis programs in view of seismic assessment procedures in Turkish earthquake code 2007
Yıldırım, Suat; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
In Turkey, most of the existing buildings have been designed according to Turkish Earthquake codes of 1975 and 1997. It is a well known fact that, poor material quality, poor design, poor control on site and inadequate workmanship makes existing buildings vulnerable to earthquake. In addition, change in function of buildings becomes another problem. These problems increase the importance of assessment of existing buildings. For this purpose, a new chapter has been added to the new code and assessment method...
Comparison of mean site-specific response spectra in Turkey with the design spectra of AASHTO
Mestav Sarıca, Gizem; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Seismic design of bridges is a significant problem for all seismically-active countries including Turkey which has gone through recent destructive earthquakes. Bridges are important elements of transportation and their robustness is important in the aftermath of major earthquakes. Turkish engineers currently employ a modified version of AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) LFD Design Specifications for bridge design. Within the scope of a national project (TÜBİTAK 110G...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures
Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01)
Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
Displacement-based seismic rehabilitation of non-ductile RC frames with added shear walls
Karageyik, Can; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Non-ductile reinforced concrete frame buildings constitute an important part of the vulnerable buildings in seismic regions of the world. Collapse of non-ductile multi story concrete buildings during strong earthquakes in the past resulted in severe casualties and economic losses. Their rehabilitation through retrofitting is a critical issue in reducing seismic risks worldwide. A displacement-based retrofitting approach is presented in this study for seismic retrofitting of medium height non-ductile concret...
Seismic strengthening of masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames with steel-fibre-reinforced mortar
Yaman, Tugce Sevil; Canbay, Erdem (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2014-01-01)
In addition to high seismicity, poor construction quality, incorrect detailing and structural mistakes in Turkey have caused enormous loss of life and property. Therefore, seismic rehabilitation has been a major topic for civil engineers in Turkey. The object of this research is to develop a simple method that will provide strengthening of buildings without evacuating the inhabitants. This study is based on application of steel-fibre-reinforced mortar on masonry infill walls with the aim of converting nonst...
