A new chapter has been added to the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code for the assessment and retrofit of existing buildings. The assessment procedures proposed In the Code are classified as linear elastic and nonlinear procedures. A research has been conducted in this study in order to evaluate the differences between the two types of seismic assessment procedures in the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code. For this Purpose, two residential buildings in their existing and retrofitted states were comparatively assessed by employing both procedures, according to the principles proposed in the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code. The assessment results were also evaluated in view of the actual performance observations from one of the investigated building which suffered damage during the 1999 Duzce earthquake. The results of this research Study have been employed for determining the strengths and weaknesses of the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code.

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 loads in Turkish earthquake code with those computed statistically Firat, Fatih K.; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2015-05-01) In this study, earthquake loads are investigated statistically and compared with the nominal earthquake loads calculated according to the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely: "Specifications for Structures to be Built in Earthquake Areas". For this purpose, the "actual" mean load values estimated from statistical methods and the nominal load values computed according the Seismic Code are compared, with respect to some variations in the basic parameters, such as the importance factor, building height, site coeff...
Guidelines for structural health monitoring systems on tall buildings and a case study Gümüş, Oğuzhan; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-2-15) The new Turkish Building Earthquake Code requires real-time monitoring of the structural response of buildings of Earthquake Design Class 1 and 2 that are taller than 105 m. Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems on tall buildings have to comply with the SHM Guidelines by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey, developed as part of two research projects that were undertaken at METU and Bogazici University. Two tall buildings in Izmir and Istanbul, respectively, were instrumented as c...
Housing after disaster: A post occupancy evaluation of a reconstruction project Dikmen, Nese; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (Elsevier BV, 2016-10) The permanent post-disaster houses constructed in the rural areas of Cankiri Province in Turkey, were investigated as part of a post-occupancy evaluation of the reconstruction project, undertaken by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation. The aim of the study was to examine whether houses constructed with Typical or Custom Designs met the needs of the users in the region or not. Field surveys were undertaken, and face to face interviews were conducted with the beneficiaries of the reconstructi...
Structural rehabilitation of damaged RC buildings after the 1 october 1995 Dinar earthquake Wasti, ST; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Utku, M (2001-04-01) This paper contains technical information related to the Dinar project for the rehabilitation of moderately damaged reinforced concrete buildings after the 1 October 1995 Dinar earthquake. The structural appraisal of the damaged buildings, analytical studies leading to decisions regarding structural rehabilitation or demolition, the supervision on site of the rehabilitation and the overall coordination of the project was entrusted to the Middle East Technical University Earthquake Engineering Research Cente...
