Evaluation of masonry buildings and mosques after Sivrice earthquake

U radu je prikazana procjena stanja zidanih građevina i džamija nakon potresa u gradu Sivricu u Turskoj. Zidane kamene građevine pretrpjele su razna oštećenja kao što su pojava vertikalnih pukotina i razdvajanja u kutovima, klinasta popuštanja u kutovima, otvaranje dijagonalnih pukotina na zidovima, otkazivanje zidova izvan ravnine i odvajanje zidova od katnih ili krovnih sustava. S druge strane, odvajanje stošca i alema minareta karakterističan je primjer oštećenja džamija. Buduća oštećenja izazvana potresom mogu se spriječiti primjerenim poštivanjem propisa o projektiranju i odgovarajućim nadzorom tijekom građenja novih građevina, dok se za postojeće građevine preporučuju prikladne mjere pojačanja.The evaluation of masonry and mosque type structures after the Sivrice Earthquake is presented in this study. Stone masonry buildings exhibited damage such as vertical cracks and splitting at corners, wedge shaped corner failures, diagonal cracking on walls, out-of-plane splitting of walls, and separation of walls from flooring/roofing systems. On the other hand, the separation of flags and caps of minarets was a common example of damage in mosques. Future earthquake damage can be prevented by following design codes and providing adequate supervision for new structures, while strengthening measures are recommended for the existing buildings
