Abstract
Purpose: Reconstruction of health buildings that were heavily damaged after the earthquake has become an important issue in Turkey. The negative performance of the construction systems of health buildings after major earthquakes necessitates the evaluation of the building system (CS) options, which can create an alternative to the market, according to various criteria. The main purpose of the study is to develop a systematic basis for the CS of 1816 health institutions to be rebuilt within the scope of the UDSEP 2023 project and to decide between alternatives in Turkey. In this study, the example of a hospital with a low bed capacity (20 beds) was discussed. Method: In the application of the Methodology-Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method of the research, 40 expert opinions were taken at the stages of planning, construction and inspection of health buildings. Findings: Experts in various fields of the construction industry have determined that CS performance is the primary criterion and cost is the secondary criterion for healthcare buildings in high seismic hazard areas. Conclusion: Among the CS alternatives, Structural Steel Frame (SSF) was determined as the most suitable structural system for earthquake zones.
