Effects of earthquake on buildings using equivalent lateral load method specification for buildings to be built in earthquake areas -2007 investigation by

Specification for Buildings to be Built in Earthquake Areas - 2007 (DBYBHY-2007) was published in 06/03/ 2007 in the official gazette was come into. Earthquake calculations of the structure cosidering structural irregularities have been ruled by modelling the structures as 3 dimensional frames.Structural irregularities are assembled in two main groups. Irregularities in the plan include are torsional irregularity (A1), the irregularity related to floor in which there are big hole or abrupt reductions in the stiffness (A2), the irregularity related to large projections in the plan (A3), vertical irregularities are weak storey (B1), soft storey (B2), and the irregularities caused by the discontinuity of vertical structural elements (B3).In this study, Specification for Buildings to be Built in Earthquake Areas-2007 (DBYBHY-2007) has been studied, and the effect of shear wall location in the earthquake analysis are examined. The equivalent earthquake load method offered by Turkish Earthquake Code is used to solve the structure by SAP2000 software.
