Critical building technology to save
lives during earthquakes
Carbon fibre-based materials could prevent the collapse of thousands of buildings during a future major earthquake. Last November, a team of structural
experts from industry and university in Turkey demonstrated in a side-by-side
test how a building retrofitted with carbon fibre composites can successfully
survive a simulated earthquake.

owAksa, a carbon fibre and composites company based in Yalova,
Turkey, joined with Istanbul
Technical University to conduct a
simultaneous full-scale earthquake
simulation at a site in Yalova using
DowAksa's carbon fibre-reinforced
polymer (CFRP) technology. The testing site is near the epicentre of one of
Turkey's deadliest earthquake disasters that took more than 18,000 lives
in 1999. The team of experts were very
satisfied by the ability of the upgraded structure to withstand a simulated
severe seismic shock, and will review
the detailed data collected during the
test to improve survivability and limit property damage in future earthquakes.
Earthquake regulations
Over the past year, a 50/50 joint venture between The Dow Chemical
Company and Aksa Akrilik Kimya
Sanayii, A.S., constructed two fullscale buildings on land allocated by the
Yalova Governor's Office. The test setup and the buildings had been designed
through the joint efforts of Istanbul
Technical University, DowAksa and

Company experts. Using the same foundations and materials, both buildings
were constructed using practices that
were common for several decades in
Turkish construction, prior to the implementation of new requirements under the Earthquake Regulations of 2007.
The first building was retrofitted with
CFRP, a high-strength, low-weight and
affordable technology developed by experts at DowAksa. The second building

was not changed. The experiment's
goal was to demonstrate how a conventional building can be retrofitted
to withstand strong seismic forces.
In scope of this industry -university joint project, static and dynamic
tests were carried out on two fullscale substandard reinforced concrete
buildings. Both buildings, one tested
as reference and the other tested after retrofitting, were simultaneous-
