Re: Reason why Turkish buildings are collapsing.
I was in Istanbul last sept and I can confirm the building standards are very poor.
The hotel we were staying in was 4 star and so badly built that I was thinking at the time if there is a earthquake this hotel is down like a pancake
The whole place is tightly packed and badly built, I don't think they have tight codes for earthquake proofing like they do in Japan.

They have a very fast development problem.
As Millions move from country side to cities they are building like crazy non stop by decades in absolute clusterfuck of lawlessness and speculation.

All cities and tourist destinations are affected.

Vegas has the same problem but not to the degree of Turkey.
Corruption means basic building standards are ignored.

Bet Turkey doesn't have building inspectors. Buyer beware, especially for those that live in crowded high rises.

Turks were a nomadic people who only conquered other lands. Buildings in Constantinople that are hundreds of years old have better construction than whatever newer crap the interlopers try to build.

Very true, plus the buildings that collapsed in Syria, 1000s of them have endured a decade of civil war, many were already very damaged

They don't use proper ferro-reinforcement of the concrete. Then the buildings are just "castles made of sand".

That is why the elites everyone moving into cities. They own the businesses that make the buildings. They know the poor quailty being put forth for th epoor to live and work in.

Earth quakes can happen anywhere. Earthquakes can even be manufactures by accident or by well placed bombs. Now imagine your economy is crashing and you need to collect on SSI type pension funds to paydown debt. At the same time collect on insurance for buildings. It is a win win to make money in realestate making debt slaves, further killing off a large
swath of poor people, distract people, and take the money and run with the insurance claim.

Yes, we are probably going to see a whole lot more disaters.

Wait a minute. GLP is notoriously anti-regulation.

Requiring an engineer licensed by the state or a government building inspector or a worker trained to minimal standards subverts the free market and is communism.

You should all be saying how this is Turkey's free market properly dictating the appropriate safety level because the market is always right. If those earthquake victims really valued safety they would have paid extra for it. But they didn't so the market spoke.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79184533


Sorry, but that's nonsense. Turkey is in one of the world's most active earthquake zones, with land stretching over the Anatolian fault line in the north of the country that has caused large and destructive tremors many times in the past

I might buy such a theory as yours if an EQ of this magnitude had occurred in an area with little or no past EQs. But this area is notorious for devastating quakes.

 Quoting: JustmeTX


Paper machete bricks would be an improvement over cement bricks with maybe 10% of necessary cement. Papercrete (a close product) can actually deflect a rifle round. It would be a good product for building in the Hood.

That is a well known issue in Turkey.


Their construction "regulations" are extremely lax, and the result is, well, the one we sadly see now.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84294525


They do, started in 2005, but the Turkish companies are also prone to cutting corners for financial reasons...
There's a lot of old buildings (especially around the impacted are), there's a lot of new buildings that will stand, but also some that will fall for the reasons mentioned above.

The government is helping to get rid of the old buildings, but for example in Istanbul, there's a shit ton of people, and densely populated, so only so much can be done unfortunately...

I mean if the same thing happens today in Istanbul, plenty of new buildings will be just fine, but there's still many many old constructions (and we aren't talking stone constructions, only concrete), but the death toll would be even worse than 99 or the one that just happened.

Turks are thieves, especially in businesses like construction but in general really. They are dishonest and don't care about doing things properly, just minimising their costs and maximising their profit, even if it means building poorly, in fact especially if it means that.
