The objects of the seminar were: 1. To exchange information on recent developments in earthquake engineering and on research activities in European countries, Japan and North America. 2. To bring together the scientists and engineers who had worked in Skopje since the earthquake of 26 July 1963, and to review the results of their work. Unesco arranged for the participation of twelve experts in seismology and earth- quake engineering from the following countries : Czechoslovakia, France, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Romania,Turkey, Union of Soviet Socialist Repub- lics, United Kingdom and the United States of America. Among these participants were four who had carried out missions for Unesco in Skopje. Ali local arrangements for the seminar, including the provision of simultaneous interpretation between Serbo-Croatand English, French and Russian, were made by the Yugoslav Government with the help of a local organizing committee presided over by Mr. K. Kitanowski, Deputy Mayor of Skopje. About fifty scientists and engineers from all parts of Yugoslavia attended the seminar. The seminar was opened on the morning of 29 September by Mr. Blagoje Popov, Mayor of Skopje,,in the presence of Mr. Kemal Seifula, Vice-president of the Executive Council of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia, Messrs. Grivcev and Kirijas, members of the Executive Council, and Mr. J. ZmaiE, Director- General of the Department of Technical Co-operation of the Federal Government of Yugoslavia. The meeting elected as president, Mr. K. Kitanowski and as general reporter, Mr. S. Bubnov. Mr. Lj. Kostowski and Mr. E. M. Fournier d'Albe (Unesco) acted as joint secretaries. The meeting was divided into three sessions: 7 Session A Recent developments in earthquake engineering research Chairman: Mr. V. Ribarii: (Ljubljana) Reporters: Mr. M.Arsovski (Skopje) Mr. A.

Les objectifs de ce colloque étaient les suivants: 1. Faire le point de l'actualité dans le domaine du génie paraséismique et des travaux de recherche effectués en Europe, au Japon et en Amérique du Nord; 2. Réunir les savants et les techniciens qui avaient travaillé à Skopje depuis le séisme du 26 juillet 1963 et dresser le bilan de leurs travaux. L'Unesco avait fait appel à douze spécialistes de la séismologie et du génie para- séismique venus des pays suivants :Etats-Unis d'Amérique, France, Iran, Israël, Italie, Japon, Portugal, Roumanie, Royaume-Uni,Tchécoslovaquie, Turquie et URSS. Quatre d'entre eux avaient accompli des missions à Skopje pour le compte de l'Unesco. Toute l'organisation matérielle du colloque, y compris l'interprétation simul- tanée en serbo-croate,en anglais, en français et en russe a été assurée par les soins du gouvernement yougoslave, avec le concours d'un comité d'organisation local présidé par le maire adjoint de Skopje, M. Kitanowski. Une cinquantaine de savants et de techniciens de toutes les régions de Yougoslavie assistaient à la réunion. Le colloque a été ouvert dans la matinée du 29 septembre par M. Blagoje Popov, maire de Skopje, en présence de M. Kemal Seifula, vice-président du Conseil exécutif de la République socialiste de Macédoine, de MM.Grivcev et Kirijas, membres du Conseil exécutif, et de M.J. ZmaiC, directeur général du Département de la coopération technique du gouvernement fédéral de Yougoslavie. Le bureau suivant a été élu: président, M. Kitanowski; rapporteur général, M.S. Bubnov; secrétaires, MM.Kostowski et E. M.Fournier d'Albe (Unesco). Le colloque s'est divisé en trois groupes: 9 Groupe A Activités récentes dans le domaine du génie paraséismique Président: M. V. RibariE (Ljubljana) Rapporteurs: M. M.Arsovski (Skopje) M.A. Zátopek (Prague) Groupe B Etudes géologiques et séismologiques effectuées à Skopje Président: M.J. Miladinov (Belgrade) Rapporteurs: M.S.

A. Bubnov General report The International Seminar on Earthquake Engineering was divided into three sessions : Session A, on the general problems of seismology, engineering seismology and earthquake engineering in the world. Session B, on the seismological, geological, geomorphological and geotectonic aspects of the earthquake in Skopje of 26 July 1963. Session C,on the effects of the earthquake on buildings in Skopje and the prob- lems of earthquake resistant design and construction. Session A The investigation of damaging earthquake effects during recent years has demon- strated that the statical analysis of buildings and other structures must be replaced by dynamical analysis, taking into consideration the additional forces and deform- ations of elastic and plastic character which are due to ground motions. Examples were cited from different countries concerning the effects of strong earthquakes on various kinds of structures, including specially designed earth- quake-resistant structures,

It is a vibrant, dynamic and rapidly-transforming Balkan metropolis which has, surprisingly, received very little academic attention to date. This is despite the city's turbulent history, which has seen its complete destruction and rebirth over the course of several millennia. Current developments in Skopje reflect the consequences of the post-communist transition that has been underway since the fall of Communism in the early 1990s, as well as the legacies embedded in the decision-making behaviours and physical structures lingering from the city's rich historical past. They have led to the internal differentiation of different parts of the urban fabric, under the influence of processes of reurbanisation, densification, infill, upgrading and suburbanisation. But the city still lacks a coherent planning and policy framework to deal with these changes, partly as a result of the inadequacies of its idiosyncratic administrative organisation.

  • Analysis of Masonry Walls Strengthened with RC Jackets

    Analysis of Masonry Walls Strengthened with RC Jackets

    Analysis of masonry walls strengthened with RC jackets S. Churilov & E. Dumova-Jovanoska University “Ss. Cyril and Methodius”, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Skopje, Macedonia SUMMARY: The presence of existing brick masonry buildings in the building stock within area with high seismic activity requires careful assessment of their seismic behaviour and retrofitting measures. Strengthening with RC jackets, although traditional, is still highly applicable. This paper presents results of a complete programme for experimental and analytical study of this strengthening method applied symmetrically on both sides of the walls on the whole wall area. Cyclic load tests on masonry walls were performed to evaluate their in-plane shear behaviour and identify shear strength, stiffness and energy dissipation. Two series of unreinforced and strengthened brick walls were tested with the purpose to compare their behaviour under cyclic horizontal loading. The results from the tests showed that the strengthening method leads to significant improvement in the shear resistance of the jacketed walls. Analytical models were used to predict the shear resistance of walls. Good agreement with experimental results was obtained with a model based on tensile strength of masonry. Keywords: cyclic tests, masonry, RC jacket, strengthening, analytical 1. INTRODUCTION Masonry together with wood is considered as one of the most important building materials in the history of mankind. It has been used as construction material for several thousand of years. From the first masonry structures in the Neolithic age, to the Tower of Babylon, pyramids of Egypt, Great China Wall, to the Greek Parthenon, masonry has helped build some of the world’s most iconic structures.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Başbakanlık Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetim Başkanlığı koordinasyonunda hazırlanan Ulusal Deprem Stratejisi ve Eylem Planı 2012-2023 (UDSEP-2023) belgesinin B.1.1.2.maddesi kapsamında Muğla İlinin bölgesel (makro) ölçekte risk azaltma strateji planının ilk ayağı olarak Fethiye İlçesindeki doğal afet tehlike haritalarının hazırlanmasıdır. Fethiye ilçesinin 1. Dereceden deprem bölgesinde olması, 1957 yılında 7.1 büyüklüğünde can ve mal kayıplı depreme maruz kalmış olması, kentsel yerleşim alanının yapılaşmaya uygun olmayan tarım alanlarına kaymış olması, bu ilçenin afete karşı hazırlık çalışmalarındaki önemini ortaya koymaktadır (Ertunç ve diğ., 2006). Bunun yanı sıra son yıllarda özellikle kıyı bölgesindeki dolgu alanlarının da yapılaşmaya açılmış olmasının bölgenin afete maruz kalma riskinde önemli düzeyde artışlara neden olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Disaster vulnerability is exacerbated because of modern human settlement patterns and development priorities. In the West, disaster mitigation techniques rely on science and engineering. In developing countries, resources do not permit this. Therefore, an alternative approach is required. In 1963, an earthquake devastated Skopje, Macedonia. An international response saw the city rebuilt, but today's dramatically different sociopolitical landscape has heightened this city's vulnerability to natural disasters. Based on a 2006 survey of 324 citizens in Skopje, this study profiled earthquake vulnerability in the nation's capital and found that vulnerability varied depending on neighborhood, ethnicity, and income. Feelings of trust in government, a fear of natural disasters, and a sense of fatalism towards the occurrence of disasters varied depending on ethnicity, neighborhood, and income, but not education.

The NW-striking Yatağan Fault is characterised by an almost pure normal sense of motion with a minor dextral strike slip component. Although the settlements within the area have been affected by several earthquake events since ancient times (~2000 BCE), the earthquake potential and history of the Yatağan Fault has remained unknown until a few years ago. Considering the growing dense population within the area, paleoseismology studies were conducted in order to illuminate the historical earthquake activity on the Yatağan Fault. Two trenches were excavated on the fault. Structural and stratigraphic evidence from the both trenches indicated an event horizon of a paleo-earthquake that was dated between 366 and 160 BCE and 342 ± 131 CE. This event horizon most probably reflected the evidence of the latest large earthquake rupture on the Yatağan Fault. Key words: Yatağan Fault, paleoseismology, active tectonics, western Anatolia 1.

Summary This construction was commonly used for residential buildings in all Slovenian towns, and it constitutes up to 30% of the entire housing stock in Slovenia. The majority of these buildings were built between 1920 and 1965. They are generally medium-rise, usually 4 to 6 stories high. The walls are unreinforced brick masonry construction laid in lime/cement mortar. In some cases, the wall density in the longitudinal direction is significantly smaller than in the transverse direction. In pre-1950 construction,

The struggle over memory is visible in many places. However, I claim that various „symbolic wars” are especially visible in the case of the post-socialist urban revival. The city of Skopje is a case in point. Nowadays, Skopje can be perceived as a symbolic battlefield through which diverse exclusive and inclusive myths are created and negotiated. The aim of the „Skopje 2014” project analyzed in this article is to restructure the city center of Skopje in style of the Antiquity by renovating facades, raising new buildings and establishing a number of new monuments. I claim that, through various meanings of nostalgia, this project conceals the nationalizing policy of the Macedonian government on the one hand, and the search for a new urban identity and its connection with the European heritage on the other hand. Keywords: memory and place, urban nostalgia, nationalizing policy, Skopje, Macedonia * * * Miasto jest produktem nie tylko urbanistów i architektów, ale również polityków pisarzy i członków różnych grup, które postrzegają miasto jak własne. Walka o pamięć jest widoczna w wielu miejscach. Jednakże uważam, że na post-socjalistycznym gruncie różne miejskie „wojny symboliczne” są szczególnie widoczne.

    Apexart International Fellowship Sample Schedule Location: Skopje, Macedonia

    apexart International Fellowship Sample Schedule Location: Skopje, Macedonia This sample schedule reflects the key components of the itinerary that apexart Fellows receive upon their arrival. For International Fellowships, apexart works with local coordinators based in the city to development and confirm activities, meetings and daily events. Depending on the Fellowship location, there are about three events per day. The places, people, and events selected provide insight into the city’s culture, language, routines and current events. Similarly, the schedule aims beyond the art world, and highlights the often overlooked and potentially inspirational aspects of a place. It is a geographical, historical, and intellectual exploration that combines the high with the low and the mundane with the extraordinary. This sample schedule is inspired by an International Fellowship coordinated by Yane Calovski and Jovanka Popova in Macedonia. Monday 11:00 AM Visit "The Fascinating World of Spiders" Exhibition Where: Macedonian Museum of Natural History Address: Blvd. Ilinden 86 Macedonian Museum of Natural History was founded in October 1926 following an initiative of the wellknown biologist Dr. Stanko ​ Karaman. The Museum collects, studies, and displays the natural heritage of Macedonia. The Museum collections totals more than 270,000 specimens of rocks, minerals, fossils, plants, fungi and animals from Macedonia. Through numerous scientific projects, the Museum undertook numerous studies of the fossil and recent fauna of Macedonia. 3:00 PM Personal development session with Ivana Stankoska Where: LUX Integra, Str. Gorgji Kapchev 21a One psychotherapy session each week gives Fellows an opportunity to discuss any issues, questions and thoughts while on the Fellowship. This is one of the activities that Fellows speak of as being one of the most interesting and important to them, and provides skills and results in a willingness to explore more after the program.
