Fig. 3: Building damage characteristics.

From: Assessing extent of building damage following an earthquake: case study of the 2023 Turkey-Syria doublet

Fig. 3

Spatial distribution of damage states for building with fundamental periods of (A) 0.3 s, (B) 0.6 s, (C) 1 s, (D) 3 s, and (E) 5 s. Four states, non-, slight-, moderate-, extensive, and complete-damage, are classified based on the thresholds of maximum inter-storey drift (d) defined in FEMA Hazus 5.1 (Table S6), where d is calculated by nonlinear time history analysis. F Number of heavy-damaged, collapse and urgent demolished buildings assessed by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. This data is aggregated at the neighbourhood (Mahalle) level from Shelter Sector Türkiye, Global Shelter Cluster51, where the dashed ellipse indicates the areas that are not well captured by our model. Red, blue, and yellow stars represent the event epicenters for Mw7.8, Mw7.5, and Mw6.7, respectively. Triangle represents the monitoring stations. Circle indicates the major cities followed in Fig. 1D. Black line represents the surface projection of the seismogenic fault50.
