Journal Title: Firat University Journal of Experimental and Computational Engineering - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
According to the data of the Disaster and Emergency Management (AFAD) Earthquake Department; On February 6, 2023, at 4.17 and 13.24 Turkey time, earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6 (Mw) occurred, respectively, with the epicenters in Pazarcık (Kahramanmaraş) and Elbistan (Kahramanmaraş). These earthquakes affected 11 provinces of Turkey and were recorded as the most destructive earthquakes in the last century. In the statement made by AFAD on April 20, 2023, it was reported that the number of people who lost their lives in the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş was 50 thousand 96 and the number of people injured was 107 thousand 204. Adıyaman was shaken by the effects of the earthquakes and many buildings were destroyed and damaged. In this study, after the earthquakes, some damaged masonry structures, and in fill walls in Adıyaman city center; the structural irregularities, application methods and material properties used were examined on site and the causes of the damages were evaluated. The damages suffered by historical buildings in the earthquake as a result of the strengthening were discussed. After the buildings were demolished, on-site inspections were carried out.
