Turkey Earthquake: Examining The Structural Integrity Of Pre-1999 Buildings
Turkey was hit by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday, October 30th, 2020. The quake left many buildings in ruins and thousands of people displaced. One of the main questions being asked is whether building codes established before 1999 were adequate enough to withstand the force of the quake. In this blog post, we will take a look at the building codes, assess their effectiveness and examine the impact they had on the buildings that were destroyed. We will also consider what other measures could have been taken to reduce the effects of the quake. Finally, we will explore the role that government and private citizens can play in reducing the risk of future disasters.
