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 30 km 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 18 km far from the city. Due to the large number of unqualified structures, the damage was more than expected. In this study, 3 damaged school buildings which were subjected to Van earthquakes were chosen. To overcome the soil effects, the buildings were chosen in the same era. Although they had the same structural properties, 1 of them were heavily damaged, 2 had minor damages and were in use. After conducting time-history analysis on the 3D models of the selected buildings, the reasons of the damages were discussed according to the assessed capacities.
