Section 6 : Performance of industrial facilities

ABSTRACT

The epicentral area contains a high percentage of Turkeyïs industry. this earthquake has pointed out many situations that might be encountered and hazards that might be face during earthquakes of this magnitude in other regions, such as emergency response, human response, fires, oil spills, and toxic releases, in addition to fundamental issues of structural and nonstructuraldamage. As additional information is gathered and studied from these facilities, we expect that lessons learned will be directly applicable to industrial facilities in other seismic regions of the world, including the United States
