In addition to the news coming out of the earthquake area for days, both on TV shows and broadcasts and on social media, fault movements that caused two earthquakes, why the earthquake was so destructive, the probability of two major earthquakes occurring in succession. and we have heard countless things about many other subjects.

The disaster is so great that the foreign press, just like the domestic press, has been talking about the earthquakes in our country for days. Seismologists, geologists, civil and environmental engineers and evaluates this rare catastrophe.

Harold Tobin of the University of Washington pointed out that the disaster was a rare event;

Seismologist Harold Tobin, in his statements about the earthquake in the region, stated that both earthquakes The region has earthquakes of unprecedented magnitude in earthquake history.; On a global scale, he stated that while two major earthquakes were not seen in a row, they were extremely rare.

Tobin stated that the number of strike-slip fault earthquakes seen on land anywhere in the world in the last century was very low, Tobin said that that aftershocks are still a risk also emphasized. He stated that there is a possibility of a major earthquake in the region.

Dawn Lehman, also of Washington University, spoke about building sustainability and process management;

Civil and environmental engineer Dawn Lehman, without seismic isolation systems Reinforced concrete buildings are vulnerable to earthquakes emphasizes.

of two buildings, both of which have the same strength only the seismically insulated building can take a beating To express that, Lehman also states that many technologies have been developed by countries in this regard.

However, Lehman focused on the application and development of these technologies as well as the development of seismic isolation technologies. construction methods are also critical adds; He draws attention to the fact that they have seen that many problems can be solved over the years with the improvements made to the regulations…

Northeastern University’s Jerome Hajjar spoke about the hard truth about the state of the buildings;

Jerome Hajjar, head of the civil and environmental engineering department and director of the Laboratory for Structural Testing of Resilient and Durable Systems, says that there are many well-qualified engineers in our country. But at the same time it also reveals yet another painful truth;

Hajjar, after the 1999 earthquake, civil engineers, construction practices do not correspond to advanced engineering drawings He says he has discovered what he has discovered… In other words, projects prepared by engineers remain only on paper.

There are also notable statements by Mehrdad Sasani, who is an expert in gradual collapse of structures and earthquake engineering;

Sasani, another civil and environmental engineer from Northeastern University, said that when design and construction standards are followed in buildings, While there is damage, the destruction has largely been eliminated. say.

Sassanid,”If they had designed and, more importantly, built according to current laws and standards, the building would have collapsed at a very low speed in an earthquake of this level.“He joins the experts who emphasize this bitter truth…

Earthquake structural engineer Dr. H. Kit Miyamoto: Only one building in ten meets the standards.

Miyamoto, a world-renowned earthquake structural engineer, There are different standards to make buildings earthquake resistant in Turkey. but unfortunately he states that he believes only one in ten buildings meets these standards.

Miyamoto said eight buildings can be strengthened with the cost of building one building in Turkey.but seismic amplification does not add market value.” he adds…
