1.2. OBJECTIVE A�D SCOPE OF CODE, GE�ERAL APPROACH 1.2.1. Objective and Scope of Code This Code shall be applied to earthquake-resistant design of tall buildings to be constructed within the borders of Đstanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Tall buildings are minimum 60 meter high buildings measured from the lowest ground level, excluding basement stories completely underground and surrounded with high-stiffness peripheral walls all around. 1.2.2. General Approach of Code: Performance Based Design In principle, this Code is based on performance-based design under earthquake action. In this approach, the damage to occur in the elements of structural system under given levels of earthquake ground motion is quantitatively estimated and checked in each element whether it exceeds the acceptable damage limits. The acceptable damage limits are specified under various earthquake levels in conformity with the performance objectives identified for the structure. Since the earthquake damage to be estimated at element level is generally represented by the nonlinear deformations to occur beyond the elastic strain limits, performance-based design approach is directly related to nonlinear analysis methods and the deformation-based design concept. Nevertheless, linear analysis methods are permitted in the Code as well in the framework of strength-based design approach for performance objectives where limited damage is expected. 1.2.3. Independent Design Review The earthquake-resistant designs of tall buildings to be realised to the requirements of this Code shall be checked and approved by an Independent Review Board as described in Chapter 7.

2.1. EARTHQUAKE LEVELS The earthquake levels to be considered in the performance-based design of tall buildings within the scope of this Code are defined in the following sections. 2.1.1. (E1) Earthquake Level This earthquake level represents relatively frequent but low-intensity earthquake ground motions with a high probability to occur during the service life of tall buildings within the scope of this Code. The probability of exceedance of (E1) level earthquake in 50 years is 50%, which corresponds to a return period of 72 years. 2.1.2. (E2) Earthquake Level This earthquake level represents the infrequent and high-intensity earthquake ground motions with a low probability to occur during the service life of tall buildings within the scope of this Code. The probability of exceedance of (E2) level earthquake in 50 years is 10%, which corresponds to a return period of 475 years. 2.1.3. (E3) Earthquake Level This earthquake level represents the highest intensity, very infrequent earthquake ground motions that tall buildings within the scope of this Code may be subjected to. The probability of exceedance of (E3) level earthquake in 50 years is 2%, which corresponds to a return period of 2475 years. 2.2. EARTHQUAKE DESIG� SPECTRA 2.2.1 – Spectral accelerations corresponding to short period (0.2 second) and 1.0 second natural vibration periods (respectively SS ve S1), are given for (E1), (E2) and (E3) earthquake levels in Annex A for a reference soil defined at the boundary between B and C soil classes (shear wave velocity in the upper 30 m = 760 m/s).

EARTHQUAKE ACTIO� I� TIME DOMAI� 2.3.1 – A minimum seven sets of earthquake ground motions (acceleration records in two perpendicular horizontal directions) with the following properties shall be selected for the analysis to be performed in the time domain. Real earthquake accelereration records compatible with the scenario earthquake parameters shall be used for each set of ground motion. A strike-slip eartquake source mechanism with a 7.0 < Mw < 7.5 moment magnitude and a soil class B or C shall be considered in the selection of records for the city of Đstanbul. The earthquake distance shall be taken as the shortest distance between the building and the main Marmara Fault line (See Fig.2.2). Acceleration records may be obtained from the following data banks:

Cosmos Virtual Data Center http://db.cosmos-eq.org/

Peer Strong Motion Database http://peer.berkeley.edu/smcat/

European Strong- Motion Database http://www.isesd.cv.ic.ac.uk/ESD/frameset.htm

Japan K-NET NIED http://www.k-net.bosai.go.jp/ 2.3.2 – In the cases where sufficient number of acceleration records cannot be found, artificial earthquake ground motions generated as compatible with the earthquake simulations or the design spectrum may be used. The same acceleration record (accelerogram) shall not be used for both directions. 2.3.3 – The ground motion simulations shall be based on a physical model considering the fault mechanism, rupture characteristics and the geological structure of the medium between the earthquake source and recording station. In the cases where the distance between the building and the main Marmara Fault line is shorter than 15 km (See Fig.2.2), a minimum three sets of earthquake ground motions shall be generated by simulation in order to account for directivity effects.

In this condition, the tall building can be occupied uniterruptedly and the problems, if any, can be fixed in a few days. 3.2. CO�TROLLED DAMAGE / LIFE SAFETY PERFORMA�CE LEVEL (CD – LS) Controlled Damage (Life Safety) Performance Level describes a performance condition where limited and repairable structural and nonstructural damage is permitted in tall buildings and in their elements under the effect of an earthquake.

In this condition, long term problems related to occupancy of the building may occur or the occupancy of the buildings may be terminated. 3.4. PERFORMA�CE RA�GES The regions in between the above-defined performance levels are identified as performance ranges (Fig. 3.1). The region below (MD – UO) Performance Level is defined as Minimum
