It's Not the Earthquake That Kills, It's Negligence! How to Identify a Sound Building? | Engineer...
In this week's special episode of the "Those Who Left Their Mark on the World" program, we're tackling Türkiye's most vital issue: the reality of earthquakes and building safety. Our guest is Hüseyin Tapan, a seasoned construction engineer and businessman.
Do our buildings protect us or do they pose risks? Is it enough for a building to be structurally sound only on paper? What happens when the pursuit of profit overrides engineering ethics?
📌 What We Discussed in This Episode:
The Three-Legged Safety System: How should the project, implementation, and inspection chain function?
Vertical or Horizontal? Why does Hüseyin Tapan say, "We should avoid vertical architecture?"
The Hidden Danger on the Construction Site: Why are "vibration" and "workmanship" during pouring as vital as the quality of the concrete?
What Should Citizens Do? What does a building's "identity card" (QR code application) tell us?
Contracting and Ethics: Is simply owning capital enough to build a building?
"Our home is where we feel safest. However, an approach devoid of ethical values can turn that safety into a disaster." — Hüseyin Tapan
📍 The continuation of our interview with Hüseyin Tapan, featuring his very special statements, will be broadcast next week!
