Abstract
"Duzce Turkey earthquake with Mw= 7.2 occured on 12 November 1999 at 6.58 a.m. (local time) in western Turkey and caused the loss of life and heavy damage, as well. In this region where the earthquakes occured, a large number of reinforced concrete structures were affected. This study is devoted to assess the damages on reinforced concrete structures due to the 12 November Duzce earthquake 1999 in Duzce region. Damages observed in the structures may be occur due to the several reasons such as site effect, soil amplifications, poor construction quality, low concrete strength, unqualified detailing in beam-clomn joints, the stronger beam than clomn, constructing soft storeys and weak storeys, inefficient reinforcement, wrogn end hook and short clomns. This study revealed that most of the damaged structures were not designed and constructed Turkish earthquake codde which is Specifications for structres to be built in Seismic Zones."
