Turkey harbors a significant portion of the world’s active fault lines and lives with the threat of earthquakes that can cause substantial loss of life and property. As engineers, our top priority is designing earthquake-resistant structures.

The general objective of earthquake-resistant structure design is to prevent significant damage to buildings during small and moderate earthquakes and to prevent collapse during large-scale earthquakes. Regulatory standards define this objective as the “life safety” performance target. For special function structures, such as hospitals, different performance levels are defined to ensure their immediate usability during or after an earthquake.

As Arkhe Structural Design, we confidently provide services to numerous projects, utilizing both our academic knowledge and practical experience, to meet the performance targets suitable for each structure. While leveraging technological advancements to enhance the seismic performance of buildings, we also consider economic and construction time optimizations to factor in investment parameters.

The services we offer in the field of earthquake and structural engineering include determining seismic performance, earthquake-resistant design of new and special structures, seismic hazard analysis, retrofitting of existing buildings, and structural analysis of large-span structures.
