Damage to RC Structures and Intensity Measures from the 2023 Türkiye Earthquake

This database is associated with the following paper:

Hariri-Ardebili, M.A., and Sattar, S. (2024). Data-Driven Insights into Post-Earthquake Reconnaissance Findings: 2023 Türkiye Earthquake Sequence, Earthquake Spectra.

The database contains information on over 240 reinforced concrete structures surveyed after the 2023 Türkiye earthquake sequence. The data is divided into two main categories: (1) building-related information and observed damage, and (2) various ground motion intensity measures from different shocks and aftershocks, calculated using either the Kriging method or the USGS ShakeMap.

Part (1) of the database was primarily developed as part of the ACI Committee 133 initiative and was also presented in the following paper. However, several missing data points were supplemented by the developers of this new database based on further investigation of the individual buildings and engineering judgment:
