As the pioneering seismic engineering company in Turkey, Prota Engineering has placed a special focus on earthquake engineering, making it one of its core disciplines. The firm’s expertise spans a range of specialized areas, ensuring that structures are not only safe but also resilient in the face of seismic events.

Our capabilities include mitigation studies aimed at identifying and reducing earthquake risks, retrofit design to strengthen existing structures, and seismic capacity assessment to evaluate a building’s ability to withstand earthquakes. Prota is also adept at the repair and strengthening of damaged buildings, ensuring they can be safely inhabited post-earthquake.

One of Prota’s standout achievements is in the field of seismic isolation. The firm has successfully implemented seismic isolation solutions, utilizing friction pendulum or elastomeric isolators, in over 60 hospitals and various private and public buildings. This innovative approach significantly reduces the impact of seismic forces, protecting the structural integrity of buildings and ensuring the safety of occupants.

Additionally, Prota is at the forefront of software development for structures, creating tools that aid in the analysis and design of earthquake-resistant buildings. The firm’s commitment to research and development in seismic engineering has resulted in the completion of performance determination and reinforcement projects for more than 12 million square meters of buildings to date.

As Prota continues to lead the way in seismic engineering, the firm remains dedicated to enhancing the safety and resilience of structures in earthquake-prone regions, contributing to the well-being of communities and the advancement of seismic engineering practices.
