Seismic Risk Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings: A Case Study for Çanakkale-Türkiye

Türkiye is in an important earthquake zone, and most of the population is under seismic hazard. The high loss of lives in the past earthquakes indicates that our existing building stock is vulnerable.

description Türkiye is in an important earthquake zone, and most of the population is under seismic hazard. The high loss of lives in the past earthquakes indicates that our existing building stock is vulnerable. In this study, a field survey was carried out to determine the existing earthquake risks of reinforced concrete buildings in İsmetpaşa, Barbaros, Cevatpaşa, Kemalpaşa, Namıkkemal, Esenler, and Fevzipaşa Neighborhoods of Çanakkale city center. This study was conducted to specify the regional distribution of risky buildings to be examined by the street survey method called "Simplified methods that can be used to determine the regional risk distribution of buildings" in the implementation regulation of Law No. 6306. For this purpose, 585 reinforced concrete buildings were examined with this method, and the earthquake performance scores of these buildings were determined. The performance scores calculated as a result of reflecting the number of stories, earthquake hazard zone, type of structural system, and structural irregularities of the buildings were evaluated based on different parameters. It was seen that soft stories with values ranging from 50% to 100% and heavy overhangs with values ranging from 37% to 63% were the most common irregularities in existing buildings in Çanakkale.
