To assess the seismic response and potential damage states of the buildings located on the Hisar Schools Göktürk Campus under a possible Istanbul earthquake scenario, a comprehensive Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) System and an integrated damage estimation and analysis platform were installed by ER&E in October 2024. The system has been in continuous and active operation since its installation.
The primary objective of this initiative is to enable real-time and post-event assessment of structural performance, support rapid decision-making, and enhance campus-wide seismic resilience through data-driven evaluation.
Within the scope of this project, ER&E has carried out the following key activities:
- Design and optimization of sensor layouts and determination of technical specifications for each building within the campus
- Development and implementation of data-driven damage estimation algorithms based on measurements obtained from the monitoring system
- Establishment of an information and decision-support system to provide school administrators with guidance on precautionary measures and response actions following a potential earthquake
- Detailed post-event evaluation and classification of damage levels for all campus buildings to support rapid safety assessment and operational continuity
