While carrying out EUROTOLIA Büyükçekmece Panorama Apartments project, we have:

  • developed designs strictly in compliance with the Earthquake Specification;
  • built robust and durable Raft Foundations.
  • Built an extra basement underground in spite of the fact that the option with a single basement is capable of meeting needs;
  • used highly-resistant C30 concrete and rebars;
  • built buildings with a small number of floors which are made up of light building materials.

EXTRA BASEMENTS

Although the levels of the plot of land on which EUROTOLIA Büyükçekmece Panorama Apartments are built permit the construction of a single basement corresponding to garden floors and this single-basement option would have satisfied needs, it was decided to build an Extra Basement underground due to reasons cited below and upon the proposal of the static team:

  • Foundations of buildings were lowered three meters further on account the Extra Basement and thus ground safety was maximized.
  • Interaction between ground and building was strengthened thanks to the Extra Basement and the building was prevented from moving due to inclination and natural ground.
  • The basement was entirely enclosed with reinforced concrete curtain walls thanks to the Extra Basement.
  • The reinforced concrete curtain walls compose a reinforced concrete box together with the raft foundation of the building so that it will remain compact and rigid under earthquake loads and have a reliable performance.
  • The Extra Basement prevented close contact between garden floors with soil in terms of building comfort and eliminated potential water and heat insulation problems.

STATIC DRAWINGS

EUROTOLIA Büyükçekmece Panorama Apartments which have been meticulously designed by a technical team specialized in static / reinforced concrete have the following building safety characteristics outlined below:

  • A proper reinforced concrete frame system
  • Proper load balance
  • Ductile behavior
  • Energy absorption capacity
  • No torsion
  • No soft or weak layer
  • No projecting part
  • No columns at the end of cantilevers
  • No short column
  • No resistance problem
  • No lateral rigidity problem
