## 2 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras (Turkiye) Earthquakes
The measured peak ground acceleration (PGA) at the stations located in 11 different provinces in the earthquake region was given shown in Table 1.  
Figure 4: The graph of spectral acceleration for different local soil classes of 11 acceleration stations in Kahramanmaras for the Elbistan Earthquake (M\({}_{w}\) = 7.6). Figure 3: Comparison of spectral accelerations for different soil types of 17 acceleration stations in Kahramanmaras for Pazarck Earthquake (M\({}_{w}\) = 7.7). The highest PGA was measured for Pazarck (Kahramanmaras) in the first earthquake, while in the second earthquake, the highest PGA was measured in Goksun (Kahramanmaras). In this study, PGA-intensity transformations were made by using the intensity--PGA relation recommended by [PERSON] (1977) for Turkiye. This correlation is as follows;  
\[\log\left(\text{PGA}\right)=0.3392\times 1-0.5427 \tag{1}\]  
where I denotes the intensity of the earthquake and PGA denotes the peak ground acceleration (cm/s\({}^{2}\)). According to the measured PGA values, the earthquake intensity in the provinces was obtained by using Equation (1), and the results of the obtained intensities are shown in Table 2.  
The highest intensity was obtained in Pazarcik (Kahramanmaras) with XI, while the lowest intensity was obtained in Centre (Kilis) with VII for the first earthquake. The highest intensity was obtained in Goksun (Kahramanmaras) with X, while the lowest intensity was obtained in Akcakale (Sanluurfa) with VI for the second earthquake. Table 3 lists the overall number of affected structures by the earthquakes across 11 provinces. Damage assessment studies were completed for 1,712,182 buildings in 11 provinces affected during these earthquakes by the Turkiye Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change as of 6 March 2023. The classification of damages is given in Table 4. The independent section can also be considered as the name given to each of the areas in the building that can be used alone and suitable for use. Apartments, business offices, stores, and shops belonging to the building are included in the independent parts. \begin{table}
