N2 - Turkey is a country geographically located in a serious earthquake zone of the world, with some major seismic faults. In the history, it is well known that big earthquakes were formed along the seismic fault called NorthAnatolian.The particularly destructive one "Golcuk-Izmit Earthquake" occurred on the 17th.August of 1999, with Ms=7.8 magnitude according to Richter scale. It caused nearly 20000 life loss and great material damage. The seismic resistant building emphasized in this paper is constructed in the place of a school which collapsed after being seriously damaged in this earthquake. The name of the school is given to the honour of Prof. Tevfik Seno Arda who was the founder of Turkish Constructional Steelwork Association and President of ECCS between the years 1999 and 2000. It is a safe and light school building as well as aesthetically beautiful and splendid with a wide functional area.
