AB  - While earthquake is an ordinary natural phenomena for most of the countries, it is a destructive nightmare for Turkey which is located in a very active seismic zone and its 98% population is under that risk. An earthquake of magnitude M<SUB>d</SUB> 6.0 (M<SUB>w</SUB> = 6.3) occurred on February 3, 2002 at 9:11 local time. The peak horizontal accelerations recorded are around 0.2-0.25 g. The macroseismic epicenter is located near the Sultandagi province and the earthquake is associated with the Sultandagi fault zone. The Sultandagi-Cay (Afyon) earthquake affected a zone of 50 km long and 20 km width, causing important faults and damages. The main purpose of this case study is to describe superstructure faults, damage and failure types and to give some analytical calculation about material quality and seismic behavior about the observation superstructure damages.
