This project brings together the technical expertise and advanced testing capabilities of a group of researchers from U.S.A. and Turkey to provide unique data on behavior and performance of older reinforced concrete buildings. This type of construction comprises the majority of residential, public service (i.e., schools, hospitals), and commercial buildings in the industrial heartland of Turkey; and there are a significant number of similarly vulnerable buildings within more active seismic regions in the USA (e.g., California, Washington, Utah, South Carolina, etc). In California, the vulnerable buildings are typically pre-1973 vintage. Therefore, the collaborative study will bring benefits to both countries. The project comprises the forced vibration and destructive testing of a full-scale building that exist in Turkey. Turkish partners will provide part of the testing equipment and the specimen structure; U.S. researchers will participate by providing technical expertise, personnel, and equipment for forced vibration testing. The project will leverage the technical resources of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) equipment site at UCLA (nees@UCLA), Kandilli Observatory & Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI), and Bogazici University (BU).

该项目汇集了来自美国和土耳其的一组研究人员的技术专长和先进的测试能力，以提供有关旧钢筋混凝土建筑行为和性能的独特数据。这种类型的建筑包括大多数住宅，公共服务（即，学校、医院）和土耳其工业中心地带的商业建筑;在美国更活跃的地震区内有大量类似的脆弱建筑（例如，加州、华盛顿、犹他州、南卡罗来纳州等）。在加州，易受破坏的建筑通常是1973年以前的建筑。因此，合作研究将给两国带来好处。该项目包括对土耳其现有的一座全尺寸建筑物进行强迫振动和破坏性测试。土耳其合作伙伴将提供部分测试设备和样品结构;美国研究人员将提供技术专长、人员和强迫振动测试设备。该项目将利用乔治E.小布朗加州大学洛杉矶分校地震工程模拟网络（NEES）设备站点（nees@UCLA）、Kandilli天文台地震研究所（KOERI）和Bogazici大学（BU）。
