Description:
An earthquake occurred in Duzce, Turkey on Nov. 23, 2022 with magnitude of 6.1 and a depth of 10.0 km. The region has been struck by several destructive earthquakes in the past decades. The vast majority of the buildings in the region affected by the earthquake, including government and school buildings, have been either retrofitted or rebuilt after the Aug.17, 1999 Mw 7.6 Kocaeli and Nov. 12, 1999 Mw 7.2 Duzce earthquakes. No structural damage and nonstructural damage were reported in these buildings during this event. This low level of damage shows the effectiveness of retrofit measures and recent strict seismic design requirements enforced for the buildings constructed after 1999. In general, limited collapses and structural damage were observed. However, the economic losses due to nonstructural damage and business interruption were significant. There were no reports of damage to roads and bridges, and power, water, telecommunications, and other infrastructure and lifelines. This project encompasses the products of StEER's response to this event: Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR).
