Data centers are exposed to high-risk of business interruption. Therefore, seismic design of such structures should target aim to damage. Turkey is a highly seismic prone country. Conventional methods are inadequate for the design of such structures that need to be operational after an earthquake. Thus, it is needed to […]
Structural Design of Base Isolated 15-story Malatya Hospital
Seismic isolation technique are beneficial to reduce floor accelerations and relative floor displacements by reducing spectral accelerations and providing rigid-body behavior of the superstructure. However, the type of base isolator should be determined in accordance with structural characteristics of building. The determination of type of base isolators might be more […]
Structural Design of Base Isolated Eskisehir City Hospital
Hospitals are at the high-risk of service interruption during and post-earthquake not only due to structural damage but also damage to sensitive equipment that they contain. In this study, seismic isolation design of 1081 bed capacity, reinforced concrete Eskişehir City Hospital is investigated. Within the scope of the design, site-specific […]
Global Seismic Risk Reduction Programs: International Perspective on the Successful Application in Istanbul
Worldwide, a large percentage of school and hospital buildings in areas of high seismicity, constructed of unreinforced masonry or non-ductile concrete, have been vulnerable to damage from earthquake and have suffered disproportional damage and collapse resulting in loss of life and in particular injuries and fatalities.. The performance of school […]
