Sinem GUNTEPE (Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Faculty of Architecture, Structural & Earthquake Engineering Unit)Lessons Learnt from Earthquake DisastersFull paper - scientific
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of strong ground motion data acquired to better explain the extensive damage observed after the February 6th, 2023, Kahramanmaras, SE Turkey earthquakes (Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.6). As spectrum intensity values computed using response spectra of a ground motion are closely correlated with building damage, special emphasis is given on some engineering...

Mr Oguz Koz (Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Faculty of Architecture, Structural & Earthquake Engineering Unit)Lessons Learnt from Earthquake DisastersFull paper - scientific
The existing seismic design codes consider bi-directional effects by applying the square root sum of squares (SRSS) or the percentage rule; the latter simplified way of design is commonly employed by accounting for the 100% contribution in the assumed principal direction plus 30% or 40% other direction’s contribution. Although the potential reasons of widespread building damage and collapses...

Mr Ante Pilipović (University of Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering)Lessons Learnt from Earthquake DisastersFull paper - scientific
Heavy rainfall-induced floods, landslides and rockfall that befell Jablanica and Buturović polje regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October of 2024 caused widespread damage to buildings, roads, bridges, electrical, water supply and gas distribution networks, along with dozens of victims and hundreds of displaced people. Urban search and rescue operations started immediately, with...

Marko Marinković (Department of engineering mechanics and theory of structures, Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade)Lessons Learnt from Earthquake DisastersFull paper - scientific
Rapid earthquake damage and loss assessment is a critical process for evaluating the immediate impacts of seismic events on infrastructure and populations. It involves the quick analysis of structural damage and economic losses. The goal is to provide timely information to emergency responders, government agencies, and decision-makers, enabling efficient resource allocation and disaster...

Filip Đorđević (Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade)Lessons Learnt from Earthquake DisastersFull paper - scientific
The Serbian Association for Earthquake Engineering (SUZI-SAEE) developed a database platform with photos made during the reconnaissance missions after the earthquakes, with the aim to provide a comprehensive framework for documenting and analyzing earthquake-induced structural damage. This paper presents the main aspects of the database platform with the photos of the SAEE team members. The...
