During the urbanization and construction processes in Türkiye, earthquakes caused by tectonic reasons have resulted in great damage. Damage to life and properties as a result of earthquakes lead to great material and moral losses. Particularly in our country where earthquakes are frequently experienced, development decisions on unsuitable grounds together with construction processes without engineering standards and designs had led today’s most populous cities to be vulnerable to earthquakes which is the core topic of this study. From the analysis stage of a regional and urban planning process development decisions and construction processes are examined in the case of Türkiye’s legislative scheme in order to find out the major gaps between planning decisions and construction practices in order for having seismic resilient cities. In this context, as a first step in the study, the relationship between geological studies and planning, which will be the basis for development plans and then the building design principles in earthquake-prone areas and the problems encountered in this process in the case of Türkiye’s cities is evaluated together. Furthermore, it is explained in detail how studies that require expertise in a wide range of fields such as planning and engineering can be implemented with the contribution of different disciplines within the seismically resilient urbanization and construction processes. In the last chapter, the urban seismic resilience criteria obtained are evaluated in particular for the city of Kahramanmaraş and spatial suggestions developed for the city of Kahramanmaraş based on the urban seismic resilience are presented.

Comparison of loads in Turkish earthquake code with those computed statistically Firat, Fatih K.; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2015-05-01) In this study, earthquake loads are investigated statistically and compared with the nominal earthquake loads calculated according to the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely: "Specifications for Structures to be Built in Earthquake Areas". For this purpose, the "actual" mean load values estimated from statistical methods and the nominal load values computed according the Seismic Code are compared, with respect to some variations in the basic parameters, such as the importance factor, building height, site coeff...
Preliminary seismic vulnerability assessment of existing reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey - Part I: Statistical model based on structural characteristics Ozcebe, G; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Aydogan, V; Yakut, Ahmet (2003-05-13) The 1999 earthquakes caused huge damage and economic losses in Turkey. The city of Duzce, hit by the second earthquake of Mw=7.2, suffered widespread damage to many RC buildings. Survey teams conducted post-earthquake evaluations on selected buildings that suffered various degrees of damage. The information collected was analyzed to set up a correlation between the attributes affecting seismic performance and the observed damage. A procedure, developed using a statistical method called discriminant analysis...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for earthquake induced landslides Balal, Onur; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools, such as Newmark’s Sliding Block (NSB) Analysis are widely used to represent the stability of a slope under earthquake shaking. The outcome of this analogy is the slope displacement where larger displacement values indicate higher seismic slope instability risk. Recent studies in the literature propose empirical models between the slope displacement and single or multiple ground mot...
Comparison of mean site-specific response spectra in Turkey with the design spectra of AASHTO Mestav Sarıca, Gizem; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Seismic design of bridges is a significant problem for all seismically-active countries including Turkey which has gone through recent destructive earthquakes. Bridges are important elements of transportation and their robustness is important in the aftermath of major earthquakes. Turkish engineers currently employ a modified version of AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) LFD Design Specifications for bridge design. Within the scope of a national project (TÜBİTAK 110G...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for sliding displacement of slopes: an application in Turkey Gülerce, Zeynep (2017-07-01) Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools such as Newmark's sliding block (NSB) analysis are widely used to estimate the sliding displacement of slopes during earthquake shaking. Additionally, empirical models for predicting NSB displacement using single or multiple ground motion intensity measures based on global (e.g. NGA-W1 database, Chiou et al. 2008) or regional datasets are available. The objective of this study is to...
