Özet

One of the countries where active plate movement is frequently experienced is Turkey. In addition to the disasters caused by the earthquake, it is necessary to take into account the physical and moral effects. When seven regulations (1947, 1953, 1961, 1968, 1975, 1998, and 2007) on earthquakes in our country are examined, the issues that should be applied to structural elements are mentioned in detail. However, there is no detailed and systematic study on the risks of non-structural elements (doors, windows, interior walls, suspended ceilings, coatings, interior stairs, furniture, accessories, lighting elements, elevators, equipment) other than the load-bearing elements of the building. The deterioration of non-structural elements due to the shaking of the buildings causes material damage, bodily harm, hindering the use of buildings, and temporary cessation of activities. In this context, deaths, and injuries are largely due to non-structural elements. And the financial losses experienced by those who continue their lives after the earthquake are mainly due to non-structural elements. However, despite this available data, there are deficiencies in inspection and regulations for interior design projects. When the 2018 Turkish Building Earthquake Code is examined, it is seen that it is not possible to inspect interior design projects in a certain systematic way. At the same time, there is no definite sanction for the risks posed by non-structural elements. Within the scope of this study, the sources of earthquake regulations and standards in Turkey and in the world were researched, and national and international legislations on the inspection of non-structural elements in interior design projects against earthquake risk were examined. As a result of the study, an evaluation has been made to ensure the safety of life and property by reducing future earthquake risks for non-structural elements.
