| The purpose of this study is to scrutinize and interpret the damages to
masonry buildings after a series of earthquakes that occurred in Van, which is an
eastern city of Turkey, within 17 days in 2011, i.e., the first earthquake
hit on 23 October having the magnitude 7.1, and the second on 9 November
with the magnitude 5.6 on the Richter scale. These consecutive earthquakes and
their aftershocks caused extensive damage and the collapse of buildings in the
city of Van and its villages and especially its near town, namely Ercis.
For the investigation of masonry buildings, Hacibekir district, which is one
of the regions comprising the highest density of masonry buildings in the
city of Van, was selected and the seismic performance of these buildings was
observed, tested in the field, and interpreted according to the Turkish
earthquake-resistant design codes. In this region, masonry buildings were
classified as adobe, unreinforced and confined masonry buildings. As a
result of this field study, it was observed that whereas the confined
masonry buildings had usually shown good performance during the earthquakes,
the adobe and the unreinforced masonry buildings were seriously damaged and
some of them were partially collapsed. |
