Use these checks to assess whether your home or workplace is earthquake-resistant.
Because İzmir is located in an area with substantial earthquake risk, structural safety is especially important. The following are key indicators to consider when evaluating your building's earthquake resistance.
Basic Checks
Year of construction
Buildings constructed before 2000 may not meet current earthquake regulations.
Column and beam system
There should be no cracks, deformation or damage in the reinforced-concrete load-bearing system.
Geotechnical survey
The soil beneath the building should not be prone to amplifying seismic waves.
Why an Expert Report Matters
Beyond a visual inspection, we recommend commissioning a risk assessment from a licensed structural inspection firm. The report can help protect your legal interests and establish eligibility for urban renewal support.
