Comparasion of the rapid screening parameters to seismic performance of buildings

Determination of earthquake safety of existing structures requires a long and difficult process in terms of time and element. In order to prevent this process, it became necessary to apply rapid assessment methods. In such assessment methods, very detailed information about the structure is not needed. In these methods, it is not possible to make definitive decisions about the structure. Final decisions are made as a result of detailed analysis of the structure. Within the scope of this thesis, Simplified Methods for Determining Regional Earthquake Risk Distribution of Buildings that identify risky reinforced concrete buildings which is used by Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, and Canadian Seismic Screening Method are taken into consideration. In the study, the structure with pure reinforced concrete frame system was used. For the selected reinforced concrete structure, static adaptive repulsion analysis and rapid evaluation methods were used to calculate the different negative situations. For each negativity parameter, detailed analysis and rapid evaluation procedures were performed. All obtained values were compared. Within the scope of this thesis, it has been tried to reveal how the negativity parameters used in rapid assessment methods are related to building earthquake performance.
