In this guide, behaviours of buildings that are used for different purposes such as shelter, education and health services under strong ground motion are investigated.
Within this guide the subjects like how structural components,which carry load of the building, resist against the effects of an earthquake, starting from engineering design and construction process throughout the period of service in which conditions and under what circumstances, what kind of weakness and deficiencies might be occurred in terms of earthquake safety, are dwelled on.
The purpose of this guide, by providing the enlightenment of the public, to make assessment of used buildings in the light of this information, with a questioning approach in every stage of building construction, to provide creating demand on the subject of more qualified building stock.
