Upon the request of the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey, a protocol was signed with Boğaziçi University Kandilli Observatory, and Earthquake Research Institute. As ER&E Earthquake Research and Engineering Company, we will take part in the study to determine the earthquake risk of the current conditions of a total of 65 Organized Industrial Zones in the Marmara Region, within the framework of the contract signed with Boğaziçi University. The project, which started in October 2025, is planned to be completed by June 2026.
Within the scope of the study, ER&E is responsible for the execution of the following technical tasks:
- Performance of probabilistic and/or deterministic seismic hazard analyses for the study region
- Development of building-specific damageability and vulnerability functions for the building stock within the OIZs
- Formulation and calibration of earthquake loss estimation models for industrial buildings and associated facilities
- Quantitative seismic loss analyses, including spatial distribution of building damage, estimation of casualties, and assessment of direct economic losses
- Identification and prioritization of risk mitigation and resilience-enhancement measures based on the analytical results
