Description

Wednesday, May 18
09:00 – 13:00

Seismic risk is an uncontrollable disaster in nature and It is needed to improve innovative measurements to be ready for  it. It is not possible to rebuilt all of the existing buildings due to economy. Offenly common retrofitting techniques can not be applied to  some sutiation due to need of stopping the functionality of the buildings or need of evacuation. More economical and efficient retrofitting technology need to be developed and applied compared to classical retrofitting.  Some of new technologies such as damping devices are applied in Turkey for retrofitting purposes in order to meet this requirements. It has been one of the first applications using damper devices for retrofitting of R/C prefabricated buildings.  The experiences obtained from this first applications needed to be shared.
