Mezzanine are widely used in our country. In this study, eigen value and static pushover analyses were made for mezzanine formed by one and two direction. Totally six different structural models were analysed separately for both X and Y direction. The periods, effective mass participation ratios, base shear force, elastic and effective rigidity and target displacement for different performance level were obtained for all structural models. Suggestions were made after comparison of all values and the interpretation of the results. The slab discontinuities and the differentiation of story heights in the building due to the mezzanine appear as risks that weaken the building defence mechanism. The study is important on behalf of asserting the interaction of two different negativity variables and revealing the effect of commonly used mezzanine levels on the structural earthquake behaviour.}, number={1}, publisher={Dicle Üniversitesi}
