This article reports on the findings of an investigation 29 historic stone masonry buildings located in cities Hatay and Osmaniye following 2023 Turkey earthquake sequence. The couplet 6 February (with moment magnitudes 7.8 7.5) events (including another which occurred 20 with a magnitude 6.3) resulted significant damage to buildings. To understand why, examined were assigned EMS-98 level (ranging from 1 5) descriptive response categories (masonry disaggregation, local mechanism, global...
On 14th August 2021, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the Tiburon Peninsula in Caribbean nation of Haiti, approximately 150 km west capital Port-au-Prince. Aftershocks up to moment 5.7 followed and over 1,000 landslides were triggered. These events led 2,000 fatalities, 15,000 injuries more than 137,000 structural failures. The economic impact is order US$1.6 billion. on-going Covid pandemic complex political security situation Haiti meant that deploying engineers from UK assess damage...
On 30 October 2020, an earthquake of M w 6.9 hit the Aegean coasts Turkey and Greece. The epicentre was some 14 km northeast Avlakia on Samos Island, 25 southwest Seferihisar, Turkey, triggering also a tsunami. event has been followed by >4,000 aftershocks up to 5.2 Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) immediately gathered team conduct hybrid reconnaissance study, bringing together remote field investigation techniques. mission took place between 16 November 17...
On 30th October 2020, an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 hit the Aegean coasts Turkey and Greece. The epicentre was some 14 km northeast Avlakia settlement on Samos Island, 25 southwest Turkish town Seferihisar, Izmir. destruction caused concentrated mainly mid-rise RC buildings in certain districts Izmir city. Among diverse building typologies affected by event are traditional/vernacular hybrid timber-masonry masonry that common to This paper summarises discusses damage levels mechanisms...
This paper presents the work we conducted for estimation of strong ground motion and building damage distributions after 6 February 2023, Kahramanmaraş – Türkiye M7.7 Earthquake. The following outcomes were made available to research community within 18 hours earthquake occurrence updated on a daily basis: Maps spatial peak acceleration velocity, spectral accelerations at 0.2s 1.0s, instrumental intensity and, number damaged buildings regional urban scale....
The eastern parts of the Aegean Sea were struck by a destructive M W 6.9 earthquake on 30 October 2020 at 11:51:27 UTC. ruptured an East-West trending normal fault in between northern coast Samos Island and southern İzmir also triggered medium level tsunami thousands aftershocks across region. 119 fatalities, 1,051 injuries, many collapsed buildings reported due to affected most catastrophic consequences registered Bayraklı Bornova districts, which are built deep alluvial Basin approximately...
<p class="first" id="d8303602e78">major and shallow earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.2 hit Tiburon Peninsula on 14 August 2021, damaging over 137,000 buildings. A hybrid reconnaissance activity was conducted in the aftermath, jointly by EEFIT/StEER/GHI, to evaluate impact event buildings, infrastructure communities. The study also included an investigation performance local vernacular homes -wooden frames infill, which were found be one most vulnerable typologies. Moisture identified...
&lt;p&gt;Post-earthquake reconnaissance missions are critical to understand the event characteristics, identify building and infrastructure vulnerabilities, improve future construction practice. However, in-field can present logistic safety challenges that do not make them viable in every post-disaster scenario. Remote sensing technique be used rapidly collect a large amount information enrich post-event learning process. While possibility deploy teams field remain valuable asset for...
