When the stiffness of a story is much less than the story above it, a significant portion of
lateral displacement of the building is concentrated in this story and soft story is formed. One …

In architecture, design of doors and windows for functional requirements, circulation, natural
light and ventilation, aesthetics and view is inevitable. Parameters such as size, location and …

A significant part of torsional effects in buildings is due to disregarding the arrangement of
infill walls during the design. This is a challenging issue since on the one hand the structural …

Torsion is one of the most important causes of building collapse during earthquakes.
Sometimes, despite the symmetric form of the building, infill walls disturb the symmetry of the …

Türkiye Deprem Bölgeleri Haritası incelendiğinde, aktif deprem kuşağında olan ülkemizin
