The geographical structure of our country, its location in an earthquake zone and the fact that a large part of the population lives in these risky areas increases the seriousness of the precautions that must be taken for earthquakes. In our country, 92% of which is under the earthquake zone, 71% of the population lives in these risky areas.
Until today, we have often heard and discussed the real face of the earthquake, its possible severity and devastating consequences on television, radio and social media platforms. However, this awareness generally did not go beyond basic measures such as preparing an earthquake kit. In the great disaster, we clearly understood the permanent damage of the earthquake by seeing the post-earthquake views of even newly built buildings. In the face of such a great risk, forgetting about the earthquake or leaving it to fate means not using the miracles that God has given to humans.
For this reason, it is extremely important to go beyond the discourse and awareness stage and focus on the durability of our buildings and conduct comprehensive research on this subject. While living in a geography at risk of earthquake, examining the stability of our building and making the necessary reinforcements provides more effective protection against earthquakes. These steps are vital to be prepared for possible earthquakes in the future.
The current economic situation, the population we are obliged to take care of, and the monthly income/expense balance leave a part of the population helpless regarding the measures to be taken regarding the earthquake. On the other hand, the thoughts of people who use their primary preferences in different directions with the income of their income have prevented taking precautions for a possible earthquake.
It is predicted that the fault lines on the Marmara Sea, which are expected to break soon, may cause a major earthquake that could affect approximately 28 million people. The devastating consequences of an earthquake with a magnitude of 7 to 7.3 are inevitable.
The living bed is a project developed by me, and the static and dynamic calculations of this project were meticulously made by 5 civil engineers and 3 mechanical engineers who are experts in their profession. There is also a technical university report of the project.
The first priority of the life bed; It is to protect the occupants against impacts during the collapse of the building and to create a living space. With the advantage of its steel structure, the energy carried by the ceiling tile, as a reflection of the area it covers, will be directed only by the living bed and absorbed by plastic deformation. Since the steels will extend from the floor of the existing flat to the zero of the ceiling, they will absorb the concrete mass coming from the ceiling, and when the existing floor is broken, it will descend as a mass with its contents. You can also depict this as a turtle's shell. As a result of the calculations made, the living bed is designed so that it does not impose any additional load on the building.
The living bed has a static pressure of 180 tons and a dynamic impact resistance at a speed of 100 km/h. It provides living space on any floor of a building with a maximum of 15 floors and a height of 45 meters.
Since it will be used actively in the bedroom at home, 18 mm thick wooden MDF coating has been added to the steel surfaces. Sponge-covered fabric and leather coverings were used on the interior surfaces and the headboard façade to maximize impacts during shaking. There are also grab bars.
Sliding compartments have been created on the right and left sides of the bed, where materials that can be used for a few days after demolition can be stored. Each wooden piece is designed to be independent from each other and to leave a minimum gap of 2 mm between them to prevent cracking due to the movement of the steel. Wooden claddings are connected to each other with a dovetail corner connection detail to prevent situations such as impact and cutting during use. At the same time, a space has been left for the cleaning robot 10 cm above the floor so that it can be cleaned under the bed in daily life.
Reading destiny and taking precautions accordingly will be the greatest investment people can make for themselves and their loved ones. Otherwise, there will be no one at your door who will be able to drive the vehicle or evaluate your investments. Therefore, surviving a devastating disaster in the short term should be your priority investment.
Our Mission; To protect people by developing products against possible disasters. In line with this goal, we aimed to protect you before the disaster, not after it.
We have full faith that the bed of life will benefit people initially in our country and then in all countries of the world who lived through the earthquake.
