title = "Aseismically designed masonry buildings and their performance after 2011 Van earthquakes",
abstract = "On October 23, 2011 a devastating earthquake with Mw of 7.2 hit Van province, which is located in the east of Turkey. The epicenter was Tabanli village which is 30km far from the city. 16 days afterwards the first earthquake, a second earthquake with Mw 5.6 again hit Van province. This time the epicenter was 18km far from the city. Due to the large number of unqualified structures, the damage was more than expected. In this study, 2 aseismically designed masonry buildings which were subjected to Van earthquakes were chosen. One of the buildings was a mosque and the other one was a school building. To overcome the soil effects, the buildings were chosen in the same era. The mosque did not suffer structural damage, whereas the school building had to be retrofitted after the earthquakes. After conducting nonlinear time-history analysis on the 3D models of the mentioned aseismically designed buildings, the reasons of the damages were discussed according to the assessed capacities.",
