Geotechnical Experiment on the Ground of Buildings Collapsed in the Earthquake
In the region where 11 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake that took place in Adana on February 6 in Kahramanmaraş, a “geotechnical experiment” will be conducted by the expert committee within the scope of the ground survey test, and an earthquake performance analysis will be made.
In the region where 11 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake that took place in Adana on February 6 in Kahramanmaraş, a “geotechnical experiment” will be conducted by the expert committee within the scope of the ground survey test, and an earthquake performance analysis will be made.
Mete, Sami Bey, Ekim, Alpargün, Beluk, Sinem, Tutar Yapı, Zeray, İhsan Bayram, Özgür and Kubilay apartments in the city were destroyed in earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.7 and 7.6 centered in the Pazarcık and Elbistan districts of Kahramanmaraş. Affects 11 cities.
A technical and academic expert committee consisting of geological and civil engineers and architects was formed by the Earthquake Research Bureau established under the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, in the works started after the demolitions in which many people lost their lives and were injured. .
With this method, an “earthquake-like” sound wave will be sent to the ground from a certain depth through the drilling machine, and how the floor of the collapsed buildings will react in the event of an earthquake and the ground tightness will be measured. .
The findings and data will be sent to a soil and rock laboratory approved by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change to be examined and it will be determined whether they comply with the numerical reference values.
All these actions will be carried out to increase the reliability of the ground survey report of 11 destroyed buildings in the city. After the procedures, the information obtained in the studies will be sent to the expert for report preparation. On the other hand, the Earthquake Investigation Bureau, which was established under the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor, meticulously conducts its examination of the construction defects in the destroyed buildings in the city. Separation of valuable and personal belongings from the rubble transported from the debris fields is also carried out under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor. As part of the investigation carried out regarding the destroyed buildings in Adana, 13 suspects were arrested, including 1 on 13 February, 5 on 14 February, 6 on 16 February and 1 on 17 February.
