The Turkish Constructional Steelwork Association (TUCSA) is organising the Earthquake Resistant Structuring Summit on 30 September - 1 October 2024 in order to share the lessons learned from the studies in the earthquake zone and to raise awareness about steel structures. The summit will be held under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation, in cooperation with OSTİM Technical University, OSTİM OSB and Turkish Steel Producers Association (TÇÜD) at OSTİM Technical University campus in Ankara.

On the first day of the summit, the theme of "Earthquake Resistant Structuring" will be discussed and participants will be informed about safe construction strategies and the advantages of steel structures in areas with high earthquake risk. The second day will focus on "Seismic Isolators and Dampers". These technologies are used to increase the resistance of buildings against earthquake effects and are among the innovative solutions that need to become widespread in Turkey.

Earthquake Resistant Construction Summit addresses a wide range of participants such as building sector professionals, public institutions and organisations, universities, industrialists, building earthquake designers, researchers, investors and users. The summit also offers an important platform for companies that want to introduce their innovative products and services related to earthquake resistance. Those who want to get information about sponsorship conditions can send an e-mail to yesimgures@tucsa.org or contact via WhatsApp line +90 542 288 96 77.

Participation and registration to the event is completely FREE and those who wish to participate must register in advance. The summit aims to contribute to the construction of safer and more resilient structures in our country by bringing together all stakeholders facing the earthquake reality of Turkey.

By taking part in this important organisation, participants will have the opportunity to access the most up-to-date information on earthquake resistant construction and will be able to come together with the leading names of the sector and exchange information.
