Short summary
In this study, the general characteristics of Turkish building stock and the deficiencies observed in structural systems are explained, and illustrative figures are given with reference to the Turkish Earthquake Code 2007. The poor concrete quality, lack of lateral or transverse reinforcement in beam–column joints and column confinement zones, under-reinforced columns and over-reinforced beams are the primary causes of failures.
In this study, the general characteristics of Turkish building stock and the deficiencies...
