The major earthquakes in Türkiye in recent years have shown the importance of assessing the building stock. However, modeling and assessing these structures realistically is a very time-consuming option. The FEMA P- 2018 report, published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), provides a simplified methodology for evaluating older reinforced concrete structures that are likely to collapse, making building stock assessment efforts easier in terms of time. FEMA P-2018 procedures include the following steps: identifying the critical stories and components by estimating effective yield strength based on four collapse mechanisms, calculating drift demands and capacities of critical stories and components, evaluating collapse potential by comparing demand and capacities, determining column and wall ratings and final step is determining collapse potential rating of the structure. This study considers the behavior of an existing reinforced concrete building in Bayraklı, İzmir. The earthquake behavior of the structure was evaluated with FEMA P-2018 guidelines.
