Abstract:

Turkey is a country whose land is %92 comprised of earthquake zones. Because of the loss of life and property during the previous earthquakes happened due to unplanned urbanization and the high number of buildings without engineering services, urban renewal was carried to the agenda. In this context, the seismic performance of a multi-story reinforced concrete building within the scope of an urban renewal project was evaluated according to the Urban Renewal Law passed in Turkey in May 2012. The building was analyzed using the Nonlinear Dynamic Time History Analysis according to the Turkish Earthquake Code 2007 (TEC-2007) and the seismic performance of structural members was determined according to the requirements in the code. The global performance level of the building was obtained regarding the damage levels of the members and it was decided that whether or not the building was safe under the earthquake loads.
