Improving the Seismic Performance of Existing Structures in Istanbul, Turkey
The government of Turkey is involved in a major undertaking to improve the seismic performance of Istanbul's public buildings under the Istanbul Seismic Mitigation and Emergency Planning (ISMEP) project. The Istanbul Project Coordination Unit (IPCU) and its consultants have faced many challenges implementing this program. This paper presents the experience of two consultants who have been involved in two major retrofit design projects, one involving the assessment and upgrade of 13 major hospitals, and the second involving 124 school campuses and social service centers located throughout Istanbul. The paper discusses a number of the challenges experienced during the management of these two projects including implementing a new Turkish building code, which had been completely revised and updated to incorporate aspects of performance based engineering design. Code application examples are given along with comparison of approaches between those in the Turkish and those in U.S. The methods used to determine the makeup of the existing construction (most buildings had no existing documentation), including site surveys; material testing: and material investigations are presented. Analysis methods used (both rapid and detail) are presented along with representative retrofit schemes.
