Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Reinforced Concrete School Buildings in Turkey
Mazılıgüney, Levent; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-10-21)
The walk-down and preliminary seismic vulnerability assessment procedures for low-to-mid-rise RC school buildings are examined by detailed analysis. The correlation of significant damage-inducing parameters and the performance is studied by using results obtained from detailed analysis. The databases of the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning and the Governorship of İstanbul are used for this study. 321 RC School buildings that were assessed using the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code were employed. The p...
Seismic performance assessment of wide beam infill joist block frame structures in Turkey
Karaaslan, Enes; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Wide-beam frame buildings are prevalent in Turkey since 1980’s due to their advantageous characteristics such as ease of construction, construction speed and cost efficiency. However; according to recent experimental studies, wide beam systems demonstrate poor energy dissipation capacity under earthquake. The capacities of the wide-beams may not fully developed at the beam-column joints. The beam reinforcements that do not anchor to the core area of the columns may not reach their full capacities unless spe...
Seismic Risk Prioritization and Retrofit Cost Evaluation of Code-Deficient RC Public Buildings in Turkey
Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yakut, Ahmet (SAGE Publications, 2015-02-01)
A risk prioritization procedure is developed for deficient concrete public buildings within the scope of a seismic risk reduction program. The main purpose is identifying public buildings with high damage risk in a region for efficient retrofit investments. Regularity of structural systems and repeatability of deficiencies in public buildings provide opportunities for developing simple and reliable assessment procedures. The proposed procedure is based on calculating a risk index from the comparison of late...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Masonry Buildings in Istanbul for Effective Risk Mitigation
Erberik, Murat Altuğ (SAGE Publications, 2010-11-01)
Unreinforced and non-engineered masonry buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard and constitute a significant percentage of earthquake losses, including both casualties and economic losses. This study presents an engineering application on seismic safety assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings in Istanbul, Turkey, a metropolitan city under very high seismic risk. Nearly 20,000 masonry buildings were examined through a two-stage assessment procedure in order to identify the addresses of t...
