For longer than four decades, the current practice for liquefaction triggering engineering assessments have been dominated by case history-based deterministic and probabilistic models. The predictive model proposals have been constituted based on different sets of case histories concerning in-situ test indices, namely standard penetration test (SPT) N value, cone penetration test (CPT) q, and shear-wave velocity (V-s), etc. The present study uses the databases of Cetin et al., Moss et al., and Kayen et al. together to develop a unified liquefaction triggering predictive model within a probabilistic framework. The scope concentrates on the illustrative introduction of the proposed unified reliability-based framework along with the comparative presentation of model predictions. The unified model enables a joint assessment of liquefaction performance predictions at sites, where different in-situ test indices are used individually or jointly to characterize the soil resistance against liquefaction.

The use of the SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering evaluation methodology in engineering hazard assessments Çetin, Kemal Önder; Kayen, Robert E.; Moss, Robb E. S.; Bilge, Habib Tolga; Ilgaç, Makbule (2018-01-01) Probabilistic and deterministic seismic soil liquefaction triggering methodologies are proposed in Cetin et al. [1]. This manuscript: i) presents the protocols, which need to be followed for the correct use of this methodology for forward engineering (design) assessments, ii) guides the engineers through the procedure, and iii) discusses the "tricks" alongside the protocol. An illustrative soil profile shaken by a scenario earthquake is presented, through which consistent estimations of representative SPT b...
STABILITY OF CONTROL FORCES IN REDUNDANT MULTIBODY SYSTEMS IDER, SK (1996-01-03) In this paper inverse dynamics of redundant multibody systems using a minimum number of control forces is formulated. It is shown that the control forces and the task accelerations may become noncausal at certain configurations, yielding the dynamical equation set of the system to be singular. For a given set of tasks, each different set of actuators leads to a different system motion and also to different singular configurations. To avoid the singularities in the numerical solution, the dynamical equations...
Inference in multivariate linear regression models with elliptically distributed errors İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet (2014-08-01) In this study we investigate the problem of estimation and testing of hypotheses in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are assumed to be non-normally distributed. We consider the class of heavy-tailed distributions for this purpose. Although our method is applicable for any distribution in this class, we take the multivariate t-distribution for illustration. This distribution has applications in many fields of applied research such as Economics, Business, and Finance. For estimat...
Landslide susceptibility assessment of Turkey using qualitative and semi-quantitative methods Okalp, Kivanç; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2013) Landslides have been studied by using several methods like inventory, heuristic, statistic, and deterministic methods in the recent years; these studies have also been integrated into geographic information systems with the help of technological developments. However, there has not been any nationwide landslide susceptibility zoning map produced for entire Turkey. In this study, assessing the landslide susceptibility of Turkey at a national scale using publicly available datasets was aimed. Two different sc...
Uncertainty quantification of transient unsaturated seepage through embankment dams Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-06-01) Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the effects of uncertainty in hydraulic conductivity and van Genuchten parameters on transient seepage. To this end, a random number generator is used to generate random values from probability distributions of each parameter. The generator is coupled with finite-element software that handles seepage analysis in porous media. The Monte Carlo simulation approach is adopted for stochastic seepage analyses. The suggested method is applied on a homogeneous dam ma...
