Project 3 - Evaluation of seismic performance of a template design RC school building before and after strengthening

The aim of the project was to introduce the participants into advanced requests in the field of earthquake engineering. The studies were concentrated on a template design RC school building (Figure 1), which revealed low seismic resistant in the past earthquakes in Turkey. Therefore the Turkish Government started after the damaging events in 1999 a campaign to investigate and strengthen these buildings all over Turkey. In the frame of these campaign one typical school building, with quite similar ground plans to the school building which failed during the Bingöl Earthquake in 2003 could be instrumentally investigated before and after strengthening. The participants of the project assessed the performance of the structure before and after the applied strengthening measures on the basis of measured building response data and evaluate the earthquake resistant design. They carried out damage prognosis for the given seismic action and compared it with the real occurred damage after the Bingöl EQ by using modern software tools.
