摘要

An examination of the buildings having structural system deficiencies and damages due to architecturalcantilevers is carried out after the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake, Turkey. The damage causes aregiven systematically by considering various structural layouts and the pictures of structures having thoseof architectural based cantilevers are presented. A number of proposals on rehabilitation andstrengthening of the existing buildings are given and discussed in detail. Structural analysis of a consoledbuilding is carried out by considering the elastic behavior and three-dimensional modeling to explain thedamage reasons.
