Seismic risk combines earthquake induced hazard with structural response and determines loss that is equaled or exceeded over some time period. In this sense, it is of prime importance to utilize proper earthquake loss models that are able to consider local characteristics of building stock in a realistic way. The aim of this study is to compile changing characteristics of Turkish buildings that is believed to be necessary to develop representative models for loss estimations. Accordingly, a statistical survey will be carried out on the general properties of Turkish buildings using building permit statistics given by Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI). Previous studies on general characteristics of Turkish building stock is based on relatively small regions, limited number of buildings or old data. However, design characteristics of Turkish buildings have been altered within the last decade because of changing socioeconomic factors and regulations related with earthquake safe design. Thus, by including information of relatively new building stock, this study aims to perform a broader statistical survey about Turkish buildings in terms of use of building, occupancy, number of dwellings, number of stories, structural system, and geometrical properties. Making use of this information, this study is deemed to be a source for earthquake damage and loss estimation studies in urban areas in Turkey.

Fragility based assessment of lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete frame buildings in Turkey Ay, Bekir Özer; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study, structural vulnerability of reinforced concrete frame structures by considering the countryspecific characteristics is investigated to manage the earthquake risk and to develop strategies for disaster mitigation. Lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete structures, which constitute approximately 75% of the total building stock in Turkey, are focused in this fragilitybased assessment. The seismic design of 3, 5, 7 and 9story reinforced concrete frame structures are carried out according to the ...
Information requirements for earthquake damage assessment of structural walls Anil, Engin Burak; Akinci, Burcu; Garrett, James H.; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2016-01-01) The engineering analysis for determining the remaining seismic capacity of buildings following earthquakes requires performing structural calculations, observations of the actual damage, and applying extensive engineering judgment. Additionally, the analysis should often be performed under stringent time requirements. This study identifies the information requirements for representing the damage information and performing the visual damage assessment of structural walls. The damage descriptions for seven co...
Probabilistic assessment of earthquake insurance rates for important structures: Application to Gumusova-Gerede motorway Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; ERDİK, MUSTAFA ÖZDER (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) A probabilistic model is presented for the assessment of the earthquake insurance rates for important engineering structures, for which the seismic losses could be quite significant. The proposed model is used to estimate the earthquake insurance premiums for the structures taking place in the Bolu Mountain Crossing in the Gumusova-Gerede motorway Section, Turkey. The model requires two types of studies, namely: seismic hazard analysis and estimation of potential damage to structures based on damage probabi...
Fragility based assessment of lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete frame buildings in turkey using Düzce damage database Özün, Ahsen; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In this study, the seismic fragility assessment of low-rise and mid-rise reinforced concrete frame buildings which constitute approximately 75 % of the total building stock in Turkey is investigated to quantify the earthquake risk. The inventory used in this study is selected from Düzce damage database which was compiled after the devastating 1999 earthquakes in the Marmara region. These buildings are not designed according to the current code regulations and the supervision in the construction phase is not...
Performance evaluation of a three-storey unreinforced masonry building during the 1992 Erzincan earthquake Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (1997-03-01) Seismic performance of a three-storey unreinforced masonry building which survived the 1992 Erzincan earthquake without damage is evaluated. Mechanical properties of the masonry walls have been determined experimentally by using identical brick and mortar used in construction. An accurate material model is developed for masonry and employed in a computer program for the non-linear dynamic analysis of masonry buildings. The analytical results based on measured material properties indicated that masonry build...
