    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.

    Estimation of Settlement-Induced Damage in Masonry Buildings From Displacement Measurements

    In current engineering practice, building damage due to nearby ground excavation activities is typically quantified by processing displacement measurements. Building displacements at discrete points are used to determine deflection measures (such as angular distortion) which are then employed to estimate building strains using elastic beam models; damage is subsequently categorised according to the limiting tensile strain criteria. The reliability of this procedure relies on the extent to which the equivalent beam models employed in the analysis provide a realistic representation of the building behaviour. However, few published investigations are available on this issue. The current paper provides an appraisal of displacement-based building damage estimation techniques by employing digital image correlation displacement data collected from a recent experimental campaign on the settlement response of three half-scale masonry buildings. The results demonstrate that the treatment of buildings with equivalent beam models does not capture building deformation kinematics, potentially leading to inaccurate estimations of damage severity and location. An alternative strain interpretation procedure, inspired by an equivalent frame idealisation of a building fa & ccedil;ade with openings, is proposed. This procedure, which uses a limited number of displacement measurements, offers a robust interpretation of strains. Its effectiveness in estimating damage is assessed through experimental data. It is demonstrated that the current limiting tensile strain criteria need to be modified to provide a reliable estimation of crack widths when using the equivalent frame idealisation.
