6 Şubat 2023 Depremleri Öncesinde Güçlendirilmiş Okul Binalarının İncelenmesi ve Deprem Sonrası Durumları: Kahramanmaraş İli Örneği
Bu çalışma, 6 Şubat 2023 depremlerinin meydana geldiği (Pazarcık Mw 7.7 ve Elbistan Mw 7.6) Kahramanmaraş ilinde bulunan Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı’na bağlı, daha önce güçlendirme uygulaması yapılmış okul binalarını kapsamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında güçlendirme uygulaması yapılmış hedef okul binaların, depremleri atlatmada, hasarsız, az/orta hasarlı, ağır hasarlı veya göçme durumlarına göre ne ölçüde başarılı olduğu, uygulanan güçlendirme projeleri ve yerinde yapılan arazi çalışmaları yardımıyla tespit edilerek, güçlendirme çalışmalarının etkinliği belirlenmiştir. Deprem sonrası bölgede yapılan incelemelerden, güçlendirme uygulaması yapılmış binaların depremi hasarsız olarak atlattığı, bunun yanında bahse konu okul binalarının genel olarak depremden hemen sonra afet ve koordinasyon merkezleri olarak kullanıldıkları görülmektedir. Çalışma ile depremden önce güçlendirme yapılmayan bazı okul binalarının ciddi hasarlar alarak ağır hasarlı duruma geldiği, bazılarının kısmen yıkılmış olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Güçlendirilmiş binaların büyük çoğunluğunun ise hasar görmemiş ya da minimum seviyede hasar gördüğü belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak; mevcut yapılar için betonarme perde ile güçlendirme yönteminin, olası depremlerde binanın hasar almasını çok büyük ölçüde engellediği açıkça görülmektedir.

Depreme Karşı Güçlendirme Gereksinimi Olan Kamu Binaları İçin Önceliklendirme Metodu Önerisi: Critic Yöntemi ve Çok Nitelikli Fayda Teorisi
Bu çalışma; depreme karşı güçlendirme gereksinimi olan kamu binaları (idari ve temel eğitim kurumları) için önceliklendirme, sıralama ve seçim probleminin çözümüne yönelik öneride bulunmaktadır. Kamu yöneticileri ve bina sahipleri depremlerden kaynaklı potansiyel kayıpları azaltmak amacıyla mevcut yapıları güçlendirme kararı ile sıklıkla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bahse konu binaların sayısı ve güçlendirmeye duyulan gereksinimleri düşünüldüğünde, sınırlı olan ödeneklerin daha verimli kullanılması açısından, yapılacak sıralama ve seçim işlemi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmaya, Çok Nitelikli Karar Verme (MAUT) ile Kriterler arası Korelasyon Yol-uyla Kriterlerin Önem Tespiti (CRITIC) yöntemlerinin birlikte kullanılmasına dayalı olarak gerçekleştirilen seçim ve önceliklendirme problemi konu edilmiştir. Güçlendirme gereksinimi olan kamu binalarına ait yapısal, fiziksel ve ekonomik kat-egoride bazı parametreler esas alınmıştır. Kamu idari binaları ve temel eğitim binaları olmak üzere iki kategoride analizler gerçekleştirilmiş, elde edilen sonuçlar irdelenmiştir. Binaların güçlendirme amacıyla, önceliklendirilmesinde en önemli kriterlerin beton basınç dayanımı ve güçlendirme maliyeti olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Önerilen yöntemin kamu bina yöneticileri açısından seçim ve sıralamada objektif bir karar verme yaklaşımı olarak kullanılabileceği, bu sayede kamu kaynaklarının etkin ve verimli kullanılabilmesine katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmiştir.

Seismic Failure Pattern Prediction in a Historical Masonry Minaret under Different Earthquakes
Historical structures are the values that are of great importance to that country, showing the roots of a country, and must be passed on from generation to generation. This study attempts to make a contribution to this goal. Seismic damage pattern estimation in a historical brick masonry minaret under different ground motion levels is investigated by using updated finite element models based on ambient vibration data in this study. Imaret Mosque which was built in 1481 AD is selected for an application. Surveying measurement and material tests were conducted to obtain a 3D solid model and mechanical properties of the components of the minaret. Firstly, the initial 3D finite element model of the minaret was analyzed and numerical dynamic characteristics of the minaret were obtained. Then, ambient vibration tests as well as operational modal analysis were implemented in order to obtain the experimental dynamic characteristics of the minaret. The initial finite element model of the minaret was updated by using the experimental dynamic results. Lastly, linear and nonlinear time‐history analyses of the updated finite element model of the minaret were carried out using the acceleration records of two different level earthquakes that occurred in Turkey, in Afyon‐Dinar (1995) and Çay‐Sultandağı (2002). A concrete damage plasticity model is considered in the nonlinear analyses. The conducted analyses indicate that the compressive and tension stress results of the linear analyses are not as realistic as the nonlinear analysis results. According to the nonlinear analysis, the Çay‐Sultandağı earthquake would inflict limited damage on the minaret, whereas the Dinar earthquake would damage some parts of the elements in the transition segment of the minaret.

Investigation of a historic masonry structure by numerical and operational modal analyses
Summary: This paper presents the results of model calibration conducted on a historical mosque called Hafsa Sultan in Manisa, Turkey. The finite element model of the mosque was calibrated by the use of the results obtained from ambient vibration tests of the structure. In order to develop a solid model of the structure, the dimensions of the structure, defects such as cracks and material degradations in the structure, and the materials used in different parts were identified. For the evaluation of the material properties of the structure, nondestructive and destructive testing methods were used. The numerical and experimental modal parameters of the structure were obtained by finite element method (FEM) and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA), respectively. The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes were obtained from both FEM and OMA and compared with each other. While a good compatibility was achieved between mode shapes, some differences between natural frequencies occurred. It was thought that the differences resulted from variations in the Young's modulus of masonry, cracks in elements or boundary conditions. Therefore, the finite element model was calibrated by changing material parameters. Finally, a more realistic numerical model of the mosque was put forward and the results were discussed in detail.

Strengthening of RC Beams with Prefabricated RC Rectangular Cross-Sectional Plates
The topic of this study is to strengthen cracked beams with prefabricated RC rectangular cross-sectional plates. The damaged beams were repaired by epoxy based glue. The repaired beams were strengthened using prefabricated RC rectangular crosssectional plates. The strengthening plates were bonded to the bottom face of the beams by anchorage rods and epoxy. The strengthened beams were incrementally loaded up to maximum load capacities. The experimental results were satisfactory since the load carrying capacities of damaged beams were increased approximately 47% due to strengthening. The post-elastic strength enhancement and the displacement ductility of all the beams are researched during the experiments. The experimental program was supported by a three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis. The experimental results were compared with the results obtained from the beam modeled with ANSYS finite element program.

29 October 2007, Çameli earthquake and structural damages at unreinforced masonry buildings
A recent earthquake of M=4.9 occurred on 29 October 2007 in Çameli, Denizli, which is located in a seismically active region at southwest Anatolia, Turkey. It has caused extensive damages at unreinforced masonry buildings like many other cases observed in Turkey during other previous earthquakes. Most of the damaged structures were non-engineered, seismically deficient, unreinforced masonry buildings. This paper presents a site survey of these damaged buildings. In addition to typical masonry damages, some infrequent, event-specific damages were also observed. Reasons for the relatively wide spread damages considering the magnitude of the event are discussed in the paper.
