Residence buildings in Turkey are generally built according to earthquake-resistant building standards. These standards are established by the Turkish Earthquake Code, which sets rules for building design, materials, and construction techniques that are intended to increase the safety of buildings during earthquakes.
The code requires that buildings be designed to withstand ground shaking and ground deformation caused by earthquakes, as well as other seismic hazards such as liquefaction, landslides, and soil settlement. This is achieved through a combination of measures, including:
Despite these efforts, no building can be guaranteed to be completely earthquake-proof. The severity and frequency of earthquakes in a region can also influence the level of risk posed by earthquakes. As a result, it is important for residents to take steps to prepare themselves and their homes for earthquakes, such as securing heavy furniture and objects, having emergency supplies on hand, and participating in earthquake drills and training.
