An expert committee will carry out a "geotechnical experiment" as part of the ground survey test in Kahramanmaraş, where 11 buildings were destroyed in the earthquake that struck Adana on February 6. An analysis of the earthquake performance will also be conducted.
Apartments in the city named Mete, Sami Bey, Ekim, Alpargün, Beluk, Sinem, Tutar Yap, Zeray, Hsan Bayram, Zgür, and Kubilay were destroyed by earthquakes with magnitudes 7.7 and 7.6 that were concentrated in the Pazarck and Elbistan districts of Kahramanmaraş.
The Earthquake Research Bureau, a division of the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, was consisted in the wake of the demolitions that resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries. Its members include geological, civil, and architectural engineers.
By using this technique, the ground will be penetrated by an "earthquake-like" sound wave from a specific depth, and the ground tightness and response of the floors of the collapsed structures will be assessed. The results and information will be delivered to a soil and rock laboratory authorized by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change for inspection and comparison with the number reference values. All of these procedures will be followed to improve the accuracy of the ground survey report of the city's 11 destroyed structures. Following the processes, the expert will receive the data from the studies to prepare a report.
On the other hand, the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor's Earthquake Investigation Bureau, which was founded, methodically goes over the construction flaws in the city's demolished buildings. Under the direction of the Public Prosecutor, valuable and personal items are also separated from the debris brought in from the debris fields. 13 people were detained as part of the investigation into the Adana building destruction, including 1 on February 13, 5 on February 14, 6 on February 16, and 1 on February 17.
