Çok katlı perde duvarlı toplu konutların strüktürel değerlendirme ölçütleri doğrultusunda irdelenmesi, Ataşehir örneği

Abstract

In Turkey, most of the recent housing projects are designed as high-rise box frame structures cast in place by tunnel forms. This system offers the advantages of facilitating the construction process and minimizing the thickness of the load-bearing walls whenever high-strength concrete is used. Most significantly, it has the ability to withstand the major earthquake forces effectively. In the design phase, however, certain limitations imposed by this particular structural system should be taken into account. This research focuses on 48 high-rise residential buildings in Ataşehir Mass Housing, which were completed in 1997. These buildings are investigated with respect to their structural and architectural features, such as building configuration, plan layout, slenderness, structural system, the number of cores per building, the number of residential units using these cores and the relationship of these residential units between each other. Thus, the question of "how the architectural planning was affected by the selected structural system" is investigated.
