This study investigates the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings with ribbed slab floors in the aftermath of the 06 February 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The structural analysis of a 6-story RC building with ribbed slab floors that collapsed during the earthquake was conducted using the finite element analysis and compared with a similar structure built with traditional slab floors. For this purpose, a sample building was selected in the Islahiye district of Gaziantep province, one of the regions most affected by the earthquake. The analysis revealed that the vibration periods of ribbed slab systems were longer than those of conventional slab systems due to their lower in-plane stiffness. Additionally, the study found that ribbed slab orientation significantly amplifies P-delta effects caused by geometric non-linearity, especially in soft-story buildings. A key finding of the study is that the high vertical accelerations recorded during the earthquakes, comparable to horizontal accelerations, generated large inertial forces that were directly transferred to the columns in buildings with ribbed slabs. These forces doubled the second-order effects in the first story compared to traditional beam-slab systems, triggering soft-story collapse mechanisms. The study underscores the high seismic vulnerability of ribbed slab buildings, particularly those without shear walls, and emphasizes the urgent need for stricter seismic design regulations to prevent future catastrophic failures.

It is known that bomb-laden vehicles target many buildings as a result of terrorist activities. The effects of such attacks must be reduced and structures must be protected against blast effects. In high seismic hazard regions, buildings are designed to be earthquake resistant. One of the methods used to dampen earthquake effects on structures is base isolation. Base isolation is effective in distributing blast loads to the structure, similar to seismic loading. In this study, the effects of this distribution on the structure will be evaluated. The scope of the study encompasses the numerical estimation of explosive loads at different distances according to the explosive material carrying capacity of various vehicles and their effects on structures. Linear and nonlinear analysis methods were used to compare the dynamic behaviour of school buildings designed with and without base isolators. The Turkish Building Earthquake Code (2018), which includes the maximum seismic loads, was used in the design of the isolators. Numerical analysis was performed using SAP2000 software based on the finite element method. The blast loads were applied to the floors of the building using the direct integration method in the time domain. FEMA standards were used to determine the blast loads and the performance was evaluated in comparison with the numerical analysis results. As a result of the study, it was concluded that structures with base isolators are efficient in reducing the effects of an explosion at certain distances and these distances will affect the design of the shelter walls.

Sismik taban yalıtımı günümüzde sismik yüklerin sönümlenmesinde göreli kat ötelemelerini azaltarak yapıların daha az hasarla deprem etkilerinden korunmasını sağlayan özel sistemlerdir. Taban yalıtımlı sistemlerde yapıların dinamik davranışında; kat yükseklikleri, sönümleyici özellikleri ve kullanış biçimleri önem arz etmektedir. Taban yalıtımlı yapıların tasarımına ilişkin en kapsamlı analiz yöntemi gerçek deprem kayıtlarının kullanıldığı zaman tanım alanında analiz yöntemleridir. Artımsal tek modlu itme analizi metodu yapıların mevcut kapasitelerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılan, yapının doğrusal olmayan davranışını ve göçme mekanizmalarının belirlenmesinde kullanılan analiz yöntemlerindendir. Taban yalıtımlı yapılarda ise bu metodun kullanımına literatürde çok az kaynakta rastlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada da taban yalıtımlı yapı türleri arasında farklı analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirme yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamında üç farklı sismik taban yalıtımlı yapı modeli tasarlanmıştır. Taban yalıtımında kurşun çekirdekli kauçuk izolatörler kullanılmıştır. Sismik yalıtımlı yapılarda kat yüksekliklerinin ve katlar arasına yerleştirilen sönümleyicilerin etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda zaman tanım alanında analiz yöntemi ile sönümleyicilerin doğrusal olmayan davranışlarına ait elde edilen verilerin itme analizlerinden elde edilen veriler ile örtüştüğü görülmüş olup, itme analizi yönteminin de sismik yalıtımlı yapı tasarımında etkili bir şekilde kullanılabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
