Abstract
Türkiye, in Pazarcık and Elbistan districts of Kahramanmaraş, two major earthquakes occurred on 6 February 2023. 11 provinces were directly affected by these earthquakes, and 239,151 buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. In this article, many structural deficiencies and errors, such as the quality of building materials, soft and weak storeys, short column effect, strong beams-weak columns, oversized and heavy overhangs, frame discontinuity, reinforced concrete columns with insufficient stirrup, constructive details, and workmanship errors are observed, and the earthquake regulations requirements are compared. Thus, an overview of the damages observed after earthquakes is provided. The findings revealed that many heavily damaged or collapsed buildings did not meet Türkiye building earthquake code requirements.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal (JESTECH) (formerly Technology), a peer-reviewed quarterly engineering journal, publishes both theoretical and experimental high quality papers of permanent interest, not previously published in journals, in the field of engineering and applied science which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology and engineering. In addition to peer-reviewed original research papers, the Editorial Board welcomes original research reports, state-of-the-art reviews and communications in the broadly defined field of engineering science and technology.
The scope of JESTECH includes a wide spectrum of subjects including:
-Electrical/Electronics and Computer Engineering (Biomedical Engineering and Instrumentation; Coding, Cryptography, and Information Protection; Communications, Networks, Mobile Computing and Distributed Systems; Compilers and Operating Systems; Computer Architecture, Parallel Processing, and Dependability; Computer Vision and Robotics; Control Theory; Electromagnetic Waves, Microwave Techniques and Antennas; Embedded Systems; Integrated Circuits, VLSI Design, Testing, and CAD; Microelectromechanical Systems; Microelectronics, and Electronic Devices and Circuits; Power, Energy and Energy Conversion Systems; Signal, Image, and Speech Processing)
-Mechanical and Civil Engineering (Automotive Technologies; Biomechanics; Construction Materials; Design and Manufacturing; Dynamics and Control; Energy Generation, Utilization, Conversion, and Storage; Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics; Heat and Mass Transfer; Micro-Nano Sciences; Renewable and Sustainable Energy Technologies; Robotics and Mechatronics; Solid Mechanics and Structure; Thermal Sciences)
-Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (Advanced Materials Science; Biomaterials; Ceramic and Inorgnanic Materials; Electronic-Magnetic Materials; Energy and Environment; Materials Characterizastion; Metallurgy; Polymers and Nanocomposites)
