Abstract

Earthquake is natural disaster that can cause great destruction and loss of life and property. Temporary emergency structures, tents or containers, are used continuously until the reconstruction of the basic needs after the earthquake disaster. However today, with innovative structures, various systems that can offer more advantageous solutions to the needs of disaster victims can be proposed. In this study, the use of pneumatic (inflatable) structures for earthquake disasters is discussed. Since it is system that relatively little known and has wide variety of structural features, it is aimed to develop holistic fictional model that includes the process for making the most appropriate selection. Thus, as a result of the introduction of pneumatic structures and the creation of model for use; will be widespread by increasing the awareness of its positive qualities such as lightness, fast construction, easy storage in small volumes and transportation, flexibility and reusability in earthquake disasters.
