The Gediz Turkey Earthquake of 1970
At 2302 Turkish Standard Time on Saturday, March 28, 1970, a major earthquake struck the Gediz-Emet region in western Turkey causing heavy property damage and the loss of many lives. Following a request by the Committee on Earthquake Inspection, National Academy of Engineering, the authors made a reconnaissance of the areas of damage over a period of approximately one week shortly after the earthquake occurred. The objective of this field investigation was to make observations of all evidence relating to the effects of the earthquake. Factors to be considered were geological evidence such as surface fault breaks; soil mechanics factors such as lurching, landslides, foundation failures, and evidence of variability of ground motion intensity; structural information relating to the performance of different types of construction, with particular emphasis on engineered structures; behavior of special engineering works, such as dams, power stations, bridges, and, finally, social effects and the problems of relocating the population. This report presents certain evidence and data collected during the visit, from which a number of general conclusions have been drawn. (Author)
