Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of the February 6, 2023, earthquakes in Türkiye, measuring 7.8 and 7.6 magnitudes (Mercalli intensities XI and X). It comprehensively assesses their impact, along with the subsequent Hatay earthquake (Mw 6.4), on various structures, including residential RC buildings, commercial, industrial, and strengthened structures, as well as critical lifeline components such as roads, bridges, power, and telecommunication systems, and areas affected by soil failures. Immediate field observations were conducted to assess changes and gather insights. The findings will contribute to the development of recommendations for future seismic damage prevention and mitigation strategies.
