On 6 February 2023, two independent earthquake pairs on the East Anatolian Fault Zone, with epicenters in Pazarcık (Mw = 7.7) and Elbistan (Mw = 7.6) districts of Kahramanmaraş province, caused great destruction. Adıyaman and Gölbaşı districts of this city are among the settlements most affected by the earthquake. Especially in the district where geotechnical damages are most observed, the destructive effects of earthquakes have been clearly observed in buildings with different structural systems. In this study, information is given about the earthquakes that hit the region and the fault zone where the earthquakes occur. Geotechnical and structural damages occurring in the villages and center of the district were evaluated within the scope of earthquakes and structural engineering. It can be stated that damages observed in the district center are generally caused by soil–structure interaction problems. The fact that masonry structures, which are widely used in rural areas, do not benefit from any engineering services has an impact on the level of damage. The main reason for the damages occurring in the reinforced concrete structures in the district is the reinforced concrete system that is not designed properly or not built in accordance with the design. This case study demonstrated the importance of earthquake–soil–structure interactions in line with earthquake-resistant building design principles.

“…In the examinations made in the disaster area, it is understood that Adıyaman, Kahramanmaraş, and Hatay are the provinces with the most structural damage [32,33]. According to the data obtained, there are 57 collapsed or heavily damaged buildings, 119 moderately damaged, and 116 slightly damaged buildings out of 394 examined precast buildings, as shown in Figure 18 [34].…”

On 6 February 2023, two major earthquakes, MW7.7 and MW7.6, occurred in the Kahramanmaraş city region of southeast Türkiye. As a result of the earthquakes that affected the region, around 60,000 people died and thousands of buildings suffered various levels of damage. In this study, the collapse and failure mechanisms of precast reinforced concrete structures, most of which are industrial buildings, and the damages occurred in these structures, were investgated through on-site observations. As a result of the investigations carried out in the field immediately after the earthquake, it was understood that most of the damage was caused by the connection system of the precast structures. The most common damage is the separation of the roof beam from the column due to the weak column–beam connection system. At the end of the paper, studies to strengthen and improve suggestions for this poor behavior will be mentioned. Also, by analyzing a sample structure, the performance levels were determined by comparing it with the damage limit values in TBEC-2018.

The 6th February 2023 Pazarcık and Elbistan earthquakes (Mw = 7.7 and Mw = 7.6) caused great destruction in many cities and were the disaster of the century for Türkiye. The greatest destruction was caused in the provinces of Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, and Adıyaman during these earthquakes, which were independent of each other and occurred on the same day. Information about earthquakes and strong ground motion records is given within the scope of this study. Reinforced concrete (RC) structures which constitute a large part of the urban building stock in the earthquake region were exposed to structural damage at different levels. The structural damage in the RC structures in the city center, Gölbaşı, and Kahta districts of the province of Adıyaman was evaluated within the scope of earthquake and civil engineering after field investigations. Insufficient RC, low-strength concrete reinforcement problems, RC frame failure, heavy overhang, short columns, soft story, and pounding effect are the main causes of the earthquake damage. The presence of these factors that reduce the earthquake resistance of RC structures increased the damage level. In addition, the fact that the earthquakes occurred nine hours apart and the continuation of aftershocks during that period negatively affected the damage levels. It has been observed that structures that receive the necessary engineering services during the construction and project phases ensure the safety of life and property, even if the structure is slightly damaged. In this study, we also tried to reveal whether the target displacements were satisfactorily represented by numerical analysis for a sample RC structure.
