Effect Of Different Seismic Zones On Rough Building Cost
Abstract
"The existence of countries located in seismic belt due to their geographical regions makes it a requirement to produce designs and solutions based on the earthquake regulations and reinforced concrete standards in the design of the constructed buildings. The main purpose in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings is to provide life safety by preventing constructional collapse failures. In this study, the change in carrier system cost of eight-storey reinforced concrete building based on seismic zones was investigated. A reinforced concrete building that was over a soil class that has specific geotechnical and geological characteristics was taken into account and static and reinforced concrete designs were made for four different types of seismic zones according to Turkish Earthquake Regulation. As a result of each solution, by finding out concrete, iron and mould quantities, the cost changes according to seismic zones were investigated. The findings indicate that there is a linear correlation between the degree of the seismic zone and the building costs."
