AB  - : The paper discusses consequences of the February 6, 2023 earthquake sequence (a M 7.7 earthquake with epicentre in Pazarcik, followed by a M 7.5 earthquake with epicentre in Elbistan) which affected south Türkiye and northwestern part of Syria. The earthquakes caused more than 56,000 fatalities. More than 230,000 buildings experienced severe damage or collapse, while additional 40,000 buildings experienced moderate damage. The focus of the paper is on the performance of reinforced concrete buildings, which are prevalent in the affected area. The causes of structural damage are discussed in the context of the local codes, and in design and construction practices. Extensive non-structural damage was observed in these buildings, and it was caused by flexible RC frame system and inadequate amount of RC walls. The topic is relevant for Serbia since reinforced concrete is prevalent technology for buildings in our country, and some similarities in construction practices exist in Serbia and Türkiye.

AB  - Developing a classification system (taxonomy) for buildings is a critical step for seismic risk assessment studies. Such a system can be used to characterize a building portfolio within urban/rural settlements or building stock for the entire country. Serbia is located in a region characterized by a moderate seismic hazard. In the last century, 10 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 and higher occurred in Serbia, the strongest (M 6.0) in 1922. The strongest earthquake in the 21st century (Mw 5.5), with an epicenter close to Kraljevo, occurred in November 2010 and caused significant damage to residential buildings. In 2019, members of the Serbian Association for Earthquake Engineering (SUZI-SAEE) contributed to the SERA project and its goal to develop a seismic risk model for Europe. A taxonomy of residential buildings in Serbia was developed based on previous national and regional building stock studies. The proposed taxonomy includes the Lateral Load-Resisting System (LLRS) (e.g., wall, frame, dual wall-frame system) and material of the LLRS (e.g., masonry, concrete, wood) as the main attributes. The type of floor diaphragm (rigid or flexible) has been specified only for masonry typologies with unreinforced masonry walls, while building height and date of construction have been implicitly considered. According to the proposed taxonomy, there are 9 residential building typologies in Serbia; out of those, 5 typologies are related to masonry structures, 3 are related to RC structures, and one is related to wood structures. This paper describes the proposed taxonomy and outlines the characteristic features of different building typologies and their relevance for estimating seismic vulnerability and risk. A comparison of the proposed taxonomy for Serbia and published taxonomies for Croatia is also presented.

AB  - Regional seismic risk assessment is necessary for designing effective seismic risk mitigation measures. In general, such risk assessment studies consist of three components: hazard, vulnerability, and exposure modelling. This paper lays the foundations for regional seismic risk assessment of the residential building stock in Serbia and addresses each of the three seismic risk assessment components, either by reviewing the existing or proposing novel models. First, a review of seismic hazard models and seismic design codes used in Serbia in the past 70 years was presented. Next, an overview of Serbia’s population metrics and historical development of Serbian’s residential building stock was presented to provide the context for the exposure model. Furthermore, the paper proposed a novel building classification for Serbia's residential building stock, which is based on the existing building taxonomies, but it has been adapted to account for the local building characteristics. Building damage patterns reported in past earthquakes in Serbia and neighbouring countries were reviewed as a basis for damage classification pertaining to building typologies included in the proposed classification. Finally, the results of a preliminary vulnerability model were presented in the form of expert-based fragility functions derived for buildings typical of Serbia's residential building stock.

AB  - The paper describes a novel Adriseismic method for exp4editious assessment of seismic risk associated with unreinforced masonry buildings. The methodology was developed for the Adriseismic project of the Interreg ADRION programme, with the aim to develop and share tools for increasing cooperation and reducing seismic risk for six participating countries within the re-gion surrounding the Adriatic and the Ionian Seas. The method is applicable to unreinforced ma-sonry buildings characterised by three main seismic failure mechanisms, namely masonry disin-tegration, out-of-plane failure, and in-plane damage/failure. Depending on the input parameters for a specific structure, the assessment yields a qualitative output that consists of the masonry quality index, the index of structural response, the level of seismic risk, and the most probable collapse mechanism. Both input and output of the method are applied in the spreadsheet form. The method has so far been applied in urban areas of participating countries in the project, including Mirandola, Italy; Kaštela, Croatia; Belgrade, Serbia. In parallel, the methodology has been validated by performing a detailed seismic assessment of more than 25 buildings, and the results have been compared with the results of the proposed expeditious method. The results show a good correlation between the two methods, for example, the structural response index obtained from the expeditious method and the capacity/demand ratio obtained from the conventional assessment method.

AB  - This paper documents performance of cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in the Durrës municipality during Albania earthquake of November 26, 2019 (MW 6.4). Both mid- and high-rise RC buildings were affected by the earthquake, experiencing structural and/or non-structural damage and even collapse in some cases. The authors performed a reconnaissance study after the earthquake and were involved in seismic assessment of buildings in the affected area. Besides the observations related to physical damage of RC buildings, the paper also presents results of a statistical analysis of damaged RC buildings in the Durrës municipality.  The discussion in the paper is focused on damage patterns and failure mechanisms that are relevant for the seismic response of RC structures. Most common damage pattern observed after the earthquakes was related to masonry infill walls, which experienced damage and failure in some cases, and affected the performance of adjacent RC columns due to the infill/frame interaction. Taller RC framed buildings (10 storeys and higher) were expected to have RC shear walls; however, these walls were reportedly absent in the damaged buildings of this type. In some cases, masonry infill walls (instead of RC shear walls) were used in the elevator shaft areas, which resulted in inadequate seismic performance. A case study has been presented to illustrate seismic behaviour of mid-rise and high-rise cast-in-place RC buildings in the November 2019 earthquake, and is based on post-earthquake field observations and a detailed seismic assessment of two earthquake-damaged buildings. Finally, relevant lessons and recommendations are presented in light of the observed performance of RC buildings.

AB  - In the period of one year, several moderate intensity earthquakes occurred in the Balkan Peninsula. It is interesting that among four significant earthquakes in this period of time, two with the same magnitude (Mw 6.4) occurred. The first was on November 26, 2019 in Albania and second one on December 29, 2020 Petrinja (Croatia). Both events were quite devastating for the building stock in the epicentral area. Since most of the buildings in Balkan Peninsula are masonry buildings (single or multi-family apartments), this paper focuses on the performance of these buildings during the mentioned earthquakes. Quickly after both events, Serbian Association for Earthquake Engineering (SUZI-SAEE) organized an expert teams to visit affected areas. The goal was to document the consequences of the earthquakes on the built environment, as well as to provide support in damage assessment. Data collected during the visits is usded investigate the performance of masonry buildings. Most common types of failure are presented, pointing out the deficiencies in the behaviour of masonry structures. However, examples of good behaviour (mostly related to the well-constructed confined masonry buildings) are also presented.

AB  - Past earthquakes have affected millions of people whose lives changed within a minute, and caused damage or collapse of thousands of buildings and infrastructure systems. In many cases, earthquakes have long-term consequences. Therefore, it is very important to study the effects of damaging earthquakes and share the lessons and field experience with technical professionals and general public. The authors are members of Serbian Association for Earthquake Engineering (SUZI-SAEE), which organized reconnaissance visits to the areas affected by the November 26, 2019 Durrës, Albania earthquake (Mw 6.4) and the December 29, 2020 Petrinja Croatia earthquake (Mw 6.4). This paper presents findings on the performance of reinforced concrete buildings in these two events. Characteristic damage patterns are presented in the paper, along with the explanation of the causes of damage and recommendations for future engineering practice in the affected countries and the region.

AB  - Seismic safety of schools should be one of the highest priorities for each community. Besides being important to design the school buildings such as to avoid damage or collapse in earthquakes, they should also remain safe and functional as a shelter for evacuation after an earthquake. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the importance to study and assess the seismic risk of existing schools, as well as to emphasize a need for adequate seismic design of new school buildings. Examples of damage in school buildings due to recent earthquakes in the region were presented since they are relevant for Serbia. Observations from the survey of school buildings in Serbia have been used for a comparison with the representative examples of damaged school buildings in Croatia and Albania, thus deriving the conclusions of what could be expected in Serbia in a case of moderate earthquake.

AB  - Masonry buildings constitute a major fraction of the building stock in Serbia and other countries in the region, and they are highly exposed to the earthquakes and affected due to their vulnerability to seismic effects. This paper presents observations related to the seismic behaviour of masonry structures during recent earthquakes in the region, and outlines the common damage patterns. This was used as a basis for understanding the seismic behaviour of masonry buildings and choice of the feasible seismic retrofitting techniques. Finally, an overview of seismic retrofitting techniques for masonry buildings is presented, along with the examples of field applications.

AB  - Recent earthquakes in Balkan, including the September 21 and November 26, 2020 Albania
earthquakes, March 22, 2020 Zagreb earthquake, and the December 29, 2020 Petrinja, Croatia
earthquakes had devastating consequences for the affected population of these countries.
Besides substantial structural damage of RC buildings as well as loadbearing masonry buildings,
these earthquakes caused significant damage of non-structural masonry elements. This paper
presents examples of the damage for loadbearing and non-structural masonry walls (infills
and partitions) due to out-of-plane seismic effects, as observed by the authors during the
reconnaissance visits to the affected areas. This type of damage can prevent the evacuation
of people from the buildings during the earthquake, as the falling masonry elements block the
evacuation routes, and hinder the reoccupancy and functional recovery of affected buildings after
an earthquake. The authors recognize that both loadbearing and non-structural walls (infills and
partitions) experienced out-of-plane collapse due to lack of connection to the floor/frame. Using
the examples of the damage or failure of masonry walls during the recent earthquakes, their
failure mechanisms were explained and the lessons learned were summarized in the paper.

AB  - Reinforced concrete (RC) frame structural system is widely used for housing and commercial construction in urban areas around the world. Exterior and interior partitions are in the form of masonry infills, which are usually constructed using solid clay bricks or multi-perforated clay blocks. Although masonry infills influence the strength and stiffness of a structure subjected to earthquake ground shaking, they are often disregarded in numerical models used for seismic analysis and design of these structures. Numerous RC frame structures with masonry infills experienced damage and/or collapse in past earthquakes, including the M 7.6 Izmit, Turkey (1999); M 7.7 Bhuj, India (2001); M 6.8 Boumerdes, Algeria (2003); and M 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal (2015). In most cases, RC buildings did not experience major structural damage but masonry infills experienced damage or failure.
