In this thesis it is aimed to compile the Turkish strong-motion database for its efficient use in earthquake engineering and strong-motion seismology related studies. Within this context, the Turkish strong-motion database is homogenized in terms of basic earthquake source parameters (e.g. magnitude, style-of-faulting) as well as site classes and different source-to-site distance metrics. As part of this objective, empirical relationships for different magnitude scales are presented for further harmonization of the database. Data processing of the selected raw (unprocessed) strong-motion accelerograms that do not suffer from non-standard problems are realized. A comparative study is also conducted between the peak ground-motion values of Turkish strong-motion database with the estimations computed from different ground-motion prediction models. This way the regional differences of Turkish database are evaluated by making use of global prediction models. It is believed that the main products of this thesis will be of great use for reliable national seismic risk and hazard studies.

An evaluation study on instrumentation system of Cindere dam
Sezgin , Özgün İlke; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
In this study, the first hardfill dam in Turkey, Cindere Dam, is evaluated regarding current and alternative measurement systems in detail. Cindere Dam is a notable project, especially with its height as an example of hardfill dam, not only in Turkey but also in the world. First, the current instrumentation system of Cindere Dam is evaluated as a whole with reference to the parameters measured, instruments and data acquisition system. Second, an alternative instrumentation system is developed by using addit...
An integrated seismic hazard framework for liquefaction triggering assessment of earthfill dams' foundation soils
Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Within the confines of this study, seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential of a dam foundation is assessed within an integrated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. More specifically, the scheme presented hereby directly integrates effective stress-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment with seismic hazard analysis framework, supported by an illustrative case. The proposed methodology successively, i) processes the discrete stages of probabilistic seismic hazard workflow ...
GIS Based tsunami inundation maps; case studies from Mediterranean
Dilmen, Derya Itır; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
In this thesis, detailed tsunami numerical modeling study was applied to the selected case studies, Fethiye town (Turkey) and Kiparissia-Zakintos-Pylos (Greece) in Mediterranean, using rupture-specific tsunami sources which can generate tsunamis in Mediterranean. As a first step of the study, the general database of Fethiye and Kiparissia-Zakintos-Pylos were integrated to GIS-based environment to organize, analyze and display reliable data from different sources. Secondly, for each earthquake scenario, the ...
Improving ductility and shear capacity of reinforced concrete columns with carbon fiber reinforced polymer
Özcan, Okan; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
The performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns during recent earthquakes has clearly demonstrated the possible failures associated with inadequate confining reinforcement. The confinement reinforcement requirements of older codes were less stringent than present standards. Many studies were conducted by applying different retrofitting techniques for RC columns that have inadequate confinement reinforcement. A new retrofitting technique by means of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) was developed an...
Performance of a precast concrete beam-to-beam connection subject to reversed cyclic loading
Korkmaz, HH; Tankut, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01)
This study was performed as one phase of an extensive research program focusing on the seismic behaviour of precast connections carried out in Middle East Technical University. The primary objective of the research program was to observe and investigate the seismic behaviour of the connection detail proposed by the collaborating company and the specimens with improved details, in order to develop a 11 moment resisting precast concrete beam-to-beam connection". In this study, six beam-beam connection subasse...
