Evaluation of Concrete Compressive Strength in Urban Transformation in Bursa

The results of core obtained from the randomly selected 500 reinforced concrete buildings in Bursa Province under the law known as the “Urban Renewal Law For Risk Mitigation” are the subject of this study. In addition to the evaluation of the existing building stock of Bursa Province with a great number of examples, the concrete compressive strength values of the structures subject to renewal in terms of urban renewal or transformation logic were examined. The results for Bursa, which is one of the important metropolitans in our country, are examined a according to districts. In addition to this, the concrete compressive strength value of the buildings according to the year of construction and the regulations standards in force in those years and the harmony of the results with the current standards and the fact that the buildings were constructed without taking the project or engineering services are also being examined. As a result, the concrete compressive strength values of the buildings at risk were investigated. In this study was concluded that the concrete quality of the existing building stock in Bursa Province is very low and engineering services are not significantly contributing to quality
