Damage Detection and Damage Determination Methods in Reinforced Concrete Buildings

There are many causes of damage for damage to buildings in our country. The most important of these is the earthquake loads used during the project phase of the buildings. In addition, the mistakes made in the manufacturing process, the concessions given to the building safety to gain from the usage area constitute a significant part of the causes of the building damage. In addition, the selection of the structural system of buildings, different settlements on the ground, fire, freeze-thaw, impact and blasting effects are also damage causes. In this study, causes of damage in reinforced concrete buildings and damage detection methods are investigated. Determining the damage and determining the cause of the damage play an important role in taking precautions against future cases and repairing existing damages
