Abstract

The study presents to determine the seismic performance of an existing hictorical masonry school building. Within the scope of the study, the C block of the building which consists of three blocks, was examined. In this scope, initially, field investigations including material and damage situations is performed regarding the examined building. After that, the mechanical properties of the masonry structural members are determined according to the relevant codes. The soil characteristics are obtained from the soil classification map prepared by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, and seismic parameters are determined considering the location of the building and regional seismic risk map. In the next step, the structural model is prepared to represent the existing state of the structure by Midas Gen software, and the performance analysis is performed using the linear elastic analysis method. The response spectrum analysis method was chosen to consider the contributions of different modes. As a result of the school building being a historical structure, the seismic performance assessment was based on “Guidelines for the Management of Earthquake Risks in Historical Buildings of 2017”. The importance level and performance target of the building was decided by the local administration. Earthquake loads are calculated according to Turkey Building Earthquake Code 2018 and was considered in the structural model. As a result of analysis, it is determined that the current status of C block not provided “Controlled Damage” performance level for DD-2 Earthquake Ground Motion Level for an earthquake with a 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years”. The strength and displacements of the masonry walls in this block were obtained beyond the limit values given for the target performance level.
