Abstract

The new three-story reinforced concrete terminal building at the Ataturk International Airport was damaged during the 1999 Izmit earthquake. Conventional and innovative retrofit strategies were developed for the building to meet higher levels of performance than that specified for such construction by the Turkish seismic code. The retrofit scheme selected by the owner included seismic isolation of the space-frame roof, jacketing and strengthening of existing reinforced concrete columns, and elimination of expansion joints between the pods that formed the building. The existing and retrofitted buildings were evaluated using the nonlinear static procedures of FEMA 273. The performance of the retrofitted building was further evaluated by nonlinear dynamic analysis.
