Özet
The 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude Pazarc & imath;k and Elbistan earthquakes that struck Kahramanmara & scedil; on 6 February 2023 caused widespread structural damage across many provinces and are considered rare in seismological terms. While many reinforced concrete (RC) buildings designed under current earthquake regulations sustained significant damage, some older RC buildings with outdated designs sustained only moderate damage. This study aims to analyze the seismic performance of such older RC buildings to understand why they did not collapse or suffer severe damage. An 8-story RC building in Ad & imath;yaman province, damaged by the earthquake, was considered for analysis. The region's seismicity and local site conditions were assessed through borehole operations, geotechnical laboratory tests, and seismic field tests. The soil profile was modeled, and one-dimensional seismic site response analyses were performed using records from nearby stations (TK 4615 Pazarc & imath;k and TK 4612 G & ouml;ksun stations) to determine the foundation-level earthquake record. Nonlinear static pushover analysis was carried out via SAP2000 and STA4CAD, utilizing site response analysis and test results taken from the reinforcement and concrete samples of the building. The findings, compared with the observed damage, provide insights into the performance of older RC buildings in this region.
