The two devastating earthquakes on the East Anatolian Fault that hit Turkey and Syria on the 06th of February 2023 were an exceptional Balkan Region test on earthquake preparedness and building stock resilience. Field-collected information after visual assessment of the seismic performance of prefabricated buildings with reinforced concrete and steel structures is presented in this article. It has been collected during the National Earthquake Engineering Center (NEEC) at the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG) visit to the region. Two case studies of neighbouring buildings at a site in Kahramanmaras are presented. Observations on the seismic response of low-rise reinforced concrete and steel industrial buildings are shared. The structural failure modes and damages are discussed in relevant details. A comparison of the Seismic Performance Level of two buildings with different structural systems, located on the same site is done. The actual seismic response of the inspected buildings has been discussed with respect to the available strong motion data recorded at the nearest stations and code defined Compliance Criteria. Some field collected findings regarding connection failure modes relevant to Bulgarian construction practice are pointed out. Based on the experience gained in Kahramanmaras, several directions for improvement of Bulgarian seismic resistant design practice of low-rise precast reinforced concrete buildings are formulated.
