Özet

This study examines the structural characteristics and post-earthquake damage status of 2790 buildings in Antakya downtown after the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes.The study reveals how structural features, especially building typologies, construction year, number of floors, ground, and load-bearing systems, affect damage status of buildings.Damage levels resulting from the earthquake were documented, and the causes of these damages were identified.Comparisons and analyses clarify the possible vulnerability and risk status of these structures, based on studies conducted before the earthquake.This study emphasizes the importance of post-earthquake structural analyses, damage assessments, and supports future building projects and measures to be taken against earthquake risks.
