To our knowledge, no single building has experienced three successive strong ground motions from major earthquakes that occurred nearby. In Turkey this happened in a roundabout way when three identical buildings designed to serve as the provincial directorate offices for the Ministry of Public Works and Resettlement (MPWR) underwent such an experience over a time span of 11 years in three different cities that were hit by major earthquakes. The provincial offices are designed and constructed according to template designs under the Ministry’s own supervision. For ease of access and security, the Ministry’s strong motion recording stations that are part of the national network are located adjacent to these buildings. This study examines the performance of three of these standard ground-plus-four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings that were subjected to strong ground motions in different cities of Turkey. Bidirectional nonlinear dynamic analyses of 3D analytical models are performed. The principal focus of these nonlinear analyses is to assess whether the analytical model of the buildings could indicate column-beam damage consistent with that observed at the sites after the earthquakes. Our results illustrate that nonlinear time history analyses are capable of indicating the occurrence of shear failure in captive columns, but they overestimate the global damage level for all buildings. Introduction Investigating the response of structures during the earthquakes has been a useful tool to improve methodologies for design and analysis of structures. An example is the study on the structural performance of a RC building: the extensive field and analytical investigation of the Olive View Hospital Medical Treatment and Care Facility which suffered severe damage during the 1971 San Fernando earthquake (Mahin 1976). Observed structural damage was compared with the predictions made through linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis of the mathematical models. Another similar research (Kreger and Sozen 1989) was made on the Imperial County Services Building of El Centro in California which was severely damaged during the October Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Civil Engineering and Earthquake Engineering Research Center, Middle East Technical University, TR-06531, Ankara Professor, Department of Civil Engineering and Director, Earthquake Engineering Research Center, Middle East Technical University, TR-06531, Ankara Proceedings of the 9th U.S. National and 10th Canadian Conference on Earthquake Engineering Compte Rendu de la 9ième Conférence Nationale Américaine et 10ième Conférence Canadienne de Génie Parasismique July 25-29, 2010, Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Paper No 167 15, 1979, Imperial Valley Earthquake.

We are living at a time of successive crises – the Haiti earthquake, famine in East Africa, the Taliban attack on Kabul, the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Boxing Day Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina...No sooner does one crisis disappear from the headlines, than another pops up in a different part of the world. Perhaps this is just because we are more aware of crises in faraway places than in the past. The explosion in information and communications technologies has allowed us to receive and indeed experience images and texts not only from the media but from friends and families and indeed anyone with a camera or a mobile and access to the Internet, and, at the same time, to be able to blog, twitter and comment upon what appears to be instant reportage from whatever crisis zone dominates airwaves at that particular moment.
