A 62-story tall reinforced concrete office building with a free-standing height of 250 m has been designed in Istanbul in accordance with the new Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC, 2017). According to TEC 2017, buildings taller than 70 m and located in the first and second seismic zones are classified as tall buildings and these building shall be designed to meet the special rules based on performance-based seismic design approach. The tall building in Istanbul, having a parallelogram shaped floor plan and reinforced concrete core wall-peripheral frame system will be one of the tallest buildings in Europe. In this study, a comprehensive description of the structural system of the building is given. Then the design criteria for seismic and wind actions and the analytical models prepared for different performance levels are explained. Finally, the results obtained for the Immediate Occupancy performance under 43-year earthquake and Life Safety performance level under the 2475-year earthquake are presented and discussed. In this sense, this study presents the first real case implementation of the new Turkish Earthquake Code for the design of tall buildings in severe seismic zones.

Response parameters that control the service, safety and collapse performances of a 253 m tall concrete core wall building in Istanbul
Budak, Erhan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Çelik, Ozan Cem (2022-10-01)
Seismic performance of a 253 m tall reinforced concrete core wall building constructed in Istanbul, designed according to performance-based seismic design principles, is assessed for determining the response parameters that control the serviceability, safety and collapse performance limit states. Serviceability performance is evaluated under the 50-year wind and 43-year earthquake whereas safety performance is assessed under the 2475-year earthquake. Collapse performance is elaborated through incremental dy...
Performance based design of r/c tall buildings in two different seismic zones
Çiftçioğlu, Mustafa Güneş; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-20)
Performance-based design of R/C tall structures has become mandatory with Turkish Earthquake Code (2018). While some professionals think that linear capacity design is sufficient, others have supported this new approach only in regions where earthquake is more effective. Nonlinear design requires comprehensive and detailed theoretical knowledge. The compatibility of Perform 3D software, widely used in this design, with experiment results is unknown and calibration is not mandatory in the regulation. It is ...
COLLAPSE FRAGILITY ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE TALL BUILDINGS
Budak, Erhan; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-9-02)
Seismic performance of a 253 m tall reinforced concrete core wall building in Istanbul, designed according to performance-based seismic design principles, was assessed to determine the response parameters that control the serviceability, safety and collapse performance limit states. An ambient vibration test of the building was performed to identify its dynamic properties, including the damping properties for service loads. A three- dimensional linear elastic finite element structural model of the building ...
Performance based seismic design of reinforced concrete tall buildings
Budak, Erhan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (null; 2017-01-13)
The need for tall buildings are steadily increasing all over the world, in parallel to the need for new living spaces in large cities. Improvements in technological equipment, material science and analysis methods have opened opportunities to construct new life areas by rising along the vertical direction instead of horizontal. Unlike regular buildings, tall buildings are peculiar due to their specific architectural properties and building configurations. On the other hand, most of these buildings are locat...
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...
