About Us
OBS Project Engineering Consultancy Ltd. Was established in 2013 with the objective of providing solutions in the fields of Advanced Building and Earthquake Engineering. 70% of the population lives in the earthquake region and 90% of the industry is under the risk of earthquake in our country, unfortunately, live with the reality of the earthquake every day. OBS, which has a specialist staff in the fields of structural dynamics and earthquake engineering at master and doctorate level, continuously follows the latest developments in these fields. Within the scope of engineering services provided by OBS, the latest technological developments followed day by day with the accumulation of knowledge and experience gained over the years, the solution of this engineering problem is presented in the most appropriate way. So far, safe, economical and innovative solutions, successfully completed many engineering projects that require expertise and time available OBS, having expertise in the field of earthquake engineering in Turkey, is one of the most competent companies. OBS Turkey Earthquake Engineering Society, Earthquake Insulation Association as and Seismic Retrofit Association corporate members, earthquake engineering to raise awareness of issues and improve the seismic safety technology and to disseminate plays an active role in this association. Our company continues its activities in Kadikoy, Istanbul with an experienced staff and independent consultants serving worldwide.
BAHADIR ŞADAN, PhD
Bahadır Şadan received his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Yıldız Technical University in 2002, his master’s degree in Earthquake Engineering from Boğaziçi University Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute in 2005, and his Ph.D. in Structural Earthquake Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in Italy in 2009.
Between 2002 and 2013, he worked for various engineering companies in Turkey and abroad. In 2013, he established OBS Engineering Consulting Ltd. He has been lecturing as an Assistant Professor at MEF University in Istanbul since 2019.
His main areas of research are the design of seismically isolated buildings, the use of earthquake engineering technologies, the design of earthquake-resistant structures, seismic assessment, and the retrofit of existing buildings and historical structures.
He is right now the President of the Turkish Association for Seismic Isolation (TASI/DİD), Secretary General of Anti Seismic Systems International Society (ASSISi) and executive board members of the Turkish Earthquake Foundation Earthquake Engineering Committee, and the Seismic Retrofitting Association of Turkey (DEGÜDER).
He has given several seminars and courses to accurately implement seismic isolation systems and raise public awareness of seismic isolation systems in Turkey. He has played an active role in the preparation of the “Special Rules for Design of Seismic Isolated Buildings” section in the new Turkish Seismic Code for Buildings published in 2018.
