During the 17 th August 1999 Marmara earthquake, the soil has played important role as a contributing factor in the failure of Reinforced Concrete (RC) moment resisting frame buildings built in Adapazari. In this study, the differences of contributing effects on the filure of RC buildings which were built in the soft soil such as Adapazari downtown and stiff soil such as Maltepe has been investigated. Various two dimensional soilstructure models are formed with the simulations of buildings, which had some irregularities suh as soft story, weak stoey and short column effect, and soil properties of Adapazari downtown and Maltepe. The dynamic analysis of the soil-structure models subjected to Marmara earthquake was carried out using SAP2000 software packet program. The outcomes of lateral top displacement of SSI models with respect to soil conditions were presented as graphs and the results were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
