This study investigates the dynamic response during a postulated earthquake of a seven-story reinforced concrete building located in Gerede which is virtually astride the North Anatolian Fault. An acceleremoter network comprising 9 single-axis instruments mounted on or near the building has been established. When any one of these transducers records an acceleration pulse surpassing the 0.02 threshold, the entire system will be triggered and store information for later retrieval and evaluation. This structure is the first instrumented building in Turkey. To date, no ground motion has been recorded. Therefore two different building models have been constructed on the basis of project drawings and on-site measurements. The linear three-dimensional model is more detailed than the nonlinear plane frame idealization. Significant differences between the calculated response variables of the two different idealizations are noted. When actual response is measured with the help of the system in place, the sources of these discrepancies will be identified, and background information required for more accurate modeling gathered.
