Abstract

Three consecutive earthquakes (Mw 7.7, 7.6, and 6.4) struck Türkiye in February 2023, impacting 11 provinces with a population of over 16 million. The earthquakes and numerous aftershocks caused widespread devastation, resulting in the collapse or severe damage of over 250,000 buildings. This study presents on-site investigations of the affected buildings, identifying deficiencies and structural failures. It also explores the potential of fiber reinforced polymers for enhancing building resilience, summarizing previous experimental studies and actual applications in the light of the observed damages from the recent February 2023 Türkiye Earthquakes.
