## 1 Introduction
Figure 5 shows the E-W, N-S, and vertical acceleration (u) spectra of the 6 th February 2023 Pazarcik, Kahramanmaras earthquake recorded at station 0201 in Adhyaman, their representations according to the different probabilities of exceedance, and acceleration graphs. According to the acceleration values, the highest acceleration for the E-W direction is 1.15 g, for the north-south direction 1.16 g, and for the vertical direction 0.66 g. Horizontal accelerations of the 0201 station exceeded the design spectra of DD-1, DD-2, and DD-3, while vertical accelerations exceeded the design spectra of DD-2 and DD-3. The E-W, N-S, and vertical acceleration spectra of the 6 February 2023 Pazarcik, Kahramanmaras earthquake recorded at the station 0208 of Golbasu, Adhyaman, their representations according to the different probability of exceedance, and acceleration graphs are shown in Figure 6. The acceleration values were measured as 0.04 g for the E-W direction, 0.11 g for the N-S direction, and 0.05 g for the vertical direction. It is seen that the acceleration values obtained do not exceed any design spectra values. However, Golbasu is located on extremely soft, shallow groundwater and liquefiable soils. V\({}_{5}\)30 speed values are in the range of 180-360 m/s and are in ZD and sometimes ZE soil classes. In addition, due to the liquefaction potential, ZF soil classes are also quite dense. The acceleration station, where the acceleration is recorded, shows the ZC soil class feature. On the other hand, the average values of the soil conditions of 30 m show very low values near the surface and are likely to fall below the 180 m/s vs. velocity value. Therefore, regions of weak soil conditions, such as Golbasu district, where structures built with shallow foundations are located, cannot be expected to be represented by the acceleration value recorded in the acceleration station that is not in the same soil conditions. As is known, acceleration values are affected by ground conditions. Unless it is for special purposes, acceleration recorders are placed on relatively firmer ground. For this reason, it is obvious that the acceleration values recorded in Golbasu are inconsistent with the resulting damage distribution. \begin{table}
