After the earthquakes of Kahramanmaraş urban transformation gained momentum. Those who do not have the power to renovate their homes turned to new searches. One of them is earthquake cabins. Even if the building is demolished at the time of the earthquake, these cabins are made of high pressure resistant iron. If the cabins that detect each earthquake of 3.5 magnitude are related to the cabins that send signals, there are many question marks. These cabins are expected to carry an average of 60 tons of load, but the durability and weight of these cabins may vary according to design. This is the possibility that the building will disrupt the structural balance of the building by putting extra load on the carrier system of the building.
Oxygen tube is a must
In the earthquake cabins, there are ventilation, oxygen tube, fire tube, storage area, 3 or 4 safety arched seats according to the number of people, and encrypted money safe. Experts are cautious about these cabins. In order to prevent the static structure of the building, the carrier columns of the buildings must be calculated thoroughly and the cabins must be placed in the center instead of the exterior. This is kaThousands are sold between 150-200 thousand TL. Detailed examination is a must about whether the cabins will lift tons of weight or in which point of the house will be placed.
Doors may be trapped
The door of the earthquake cabins must always be kept open. Earthquake Specialist Dr. Övgün Ahmet Ercan stated that the earthquake cabinets came up after every major earthquake and drew attention to the door detail. Ercan, “You may be sleeping at night as soon as you get the earthquake, and the doors may be stuck when you pass to the hall where the cabin is located, When the shaking begins, the likelihood of the doors is very high. “ He said. Ercan, earthquake cabins used in a 5 -storey building, 25 tons of weight on them and underlined that the power to carry it.
Sit in solid buildings
Pointing out that people will be thrown at the time of the earthquake and the need to hold on a place, Ercan said, “Earthquake cabins can be a solution in large destructive earthquakes and if it can be entered.
Does the building break the status?
ITU Building Materials Laboratory Responsible Civil Engineer Prof.Dr. Dr. Hasan Yildirim, the important thing is the building security, saying, “Our first goal is to survive. The earthquake cabin will be wrong to say because the profiles of the cabin should be very strong, a heavy tonnage should not be destroyed,” he said.
Lightning, earthquake cabins planned to be tried to be tried in buildings, “These earthquake cabins may also allow, but I do not find the right to allow the permission to be allowed without all investigations and entering the regulation. The building does not disrupt the status of the building, but whether it will save people is suspicious “ He ended his explanations with his statements.
