Abstract: ABSTRACT: In recent years great developments have been made in the assessment of existing buildings and their performance in resistance to earthquake loading, potential seismic risk, vulnerability and lateral loads. Existing buildings can be repaired and strengthened to include new developments and methods to resist earthquake and seismic loads, which is the most economical way to safeguard against the economic and social catastrophe affected by severe seismic activity in urban environments. Traditional buildings in the 20th century were mostly constructed without sufficient protection, considering only the gravity loads of the structure. On the other hand, steel bars in the concrete may also corrode depending on construction age and environmental factors and effect structure performance against earthquakes. This thesis presents a case study of a RC Building constructed in 1970 namely the Seaside Hotel, a 10 storey building in Famagusta, North Cyprus. This study consists of three stages: data collection (building plans, material properties, structural condition and reinforcement details) using destructive and non-destructive tests; software modeling of the structure using SAP2000, non-linear static pushover analysis and non-linear dynamic time history analysis for seismic performance assessment based on FEMA 440 and TEC2007 codes. An appropriate method of strengthening and rehabilitation techniques with adequate cost of repairing has been also identified. Keywords: RC Multistory building, Seismic performance assessment, Earthquake resistance, Pushover Analysis, Nonlinear time-history analysis, and Strengthening. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Son yıllarda mevcut binaların yapısal olarak deprem yüklerine, potansiyel deprem riskine ve dış yüklere karşı değerlendirilmesinde büyük ilerlemeler olmuştur. Mevcut binalar yeni metodlar kullanılarak deprem yüklerine karşı tamir ve güçlendirme ile ayakta tutulabilmektedirler. Yirminci yüzyılda yapılmış olan binaların çoğunda depremlerde olabilecek etkilere karşı herhangi bir koruma düşünülmemiş Sadece düşey yüklere gore tasarım yapılmıştır. Buna ilaveten donatı paslanması nedeniyle yapılarda deprem dayanımında azalma olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada yapılan yüksek lisans tez konusu Gazimağusa KKTC’de bulunan ve şu anda kullanılmayan Seaside Otelidir. Otel 10 katlı olup 1970 yılında yapımı tamamlanan betonarme bir yapıdır. Tez üç ana bolümden oluşmaktadır. Bunlar sırası ile tahribatlı ve tahribatsız deney metodları kullanarak veri toplama (bina planları, yapı mevcut durumu ve donatı detayları); SAP2000, statik itme analizi ve doğrusal olmayan dinamik anliz yazılımı kullanılarak modelleme ile birlikte FEMA440 ve TEC2007 yonetmelikleri kullanılarak itme ve doğrusal olmayan dinamik analiz yapılması; binanın uygun metodlar kullanılarak tamir ve güçlendirmesinin maliyet hesabinin yapılması. Anahtar Kelimeler: B/A çok katlı bina, Sismik performans değerlendirmesi, Deprem dayanımı, Statik itme analizi, Doğrusal olmayan dinamik anliz , ve Güçlendirme.
