Examination of earthquake effects in closed reinforced concrete structures

Abstract

In this study, the collapse situation, which is one of the factors caused by design errors in reinforced concrete buildings that collapsed or were severely damaged under the influence of an earthquake, was investigated. It has been observed that columns, which are vertical load-bearing elements in buildings with closed cantilevers, are exposed to extra moments and shear forces due to various factors. It has been understood that this situation causes loss of bearing capacity and additional loss of rigidity. According to the results of the review, it has been understood that although closed exits have some economic advantages, their negative effects are much greater.
