    Two earthquakes, Mw = 7.8 Kahramanmaras,-Pazarcik, and Mw = 7.6 Elbistan, occurred on February 6, 2023, approximately 9 h apart. These earthquakes caused devastating effects in a total of 11 nearby cities on the east side of T & uuml;rkiye (Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Elazig, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaras,, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, and S,anliurfa) and the north side of Syria. These earthquakes provided an outstanding prospect to observe the effects of liquefaction in silty sand and liquefaction-like behavior in clays (cyclic softening) on the stability of structures. This paper specifically presents the post-earthquake reconnaissance at three sites and evaluations of four buildings within these sites in Adiyaman Province, Golbas, i District. First, important role of post-earthquake piezocone penetration test (CPTu) in characterizing the subsurface conditions was presented. Then, the effect of soil liquefaction and cyclic softening on the performance of four buildings during the earthquakes was evaluated. These structures represent the typical new reinforced concrete buildings in T & uuml;rkiye with 3 to 6-story, situated on shallow (raft) foundations, and demonstrated diverse structural performances from full resilience to moderate and extensive damage during the aforementioned earthquakes. Based on the interim findings from these sites, the potential factors that caused moderate to severe damage to buildings were inspected, and preliminary-immediate insights were presented on the relationship between structural design, soil properties, and the performance of buildings with shallow foundations.

    Investigation of Earth Dam Filter Performance Under Static and Dynamic Loading Conditions
    (Amer Soc Testing Materials, 2024) Valizadeh, Hadi; Ecemis, Nurhan; Leclerc, Rabia Zeynep Sarica
    Erosion -induced piping is the primary cause of failure in embankment dams' ' bodies and foundations. The filter is a principal part of an earth dam, owing to the crucial role of this layer in protecting the clayey core from erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil particles migrate due to an interior fluid flow and is recognized as a significant hazard for earthen constructions. Designing a proper filter -soil system can regulate and seal undesirable cracks that may form in the impermeable core due to nonuniform settlements, extreme water levels, or earthquakes. In this study, a No -Erosion Filter (NEF) test device, which still seems to be the most reliable filtersoil system design, has been adapted to evaluate the performance of the filter sand of two dams under static and dynamic loading conditions. The outcomes were compared with the several filter design criteria in the literature, and it was found that the filter's design approach using the available criteria may not always align with the NEF test results. Therefore, a precise understanding of fluid-particle -particle interactions is necessary to design and operate earth dam filters. The dynamic excitation can change hole pressure distribution and cause erosion even after steady-state conditions under static situations. Consequently, the effectiveness of filters under static conditions does not necessarily translate to satisfactory performance when exposed to dynamic loading.
