Bolu-Ilgaz region was damaged by several large earthquakes in the last century and the structural damage was substantial especially after the 1944 and 1999 earthquakes. The objective of this study is to build the seismic source characterization model for the rupture zone of 1944 Bolu-Gerede earthquake and perform probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the region. One of the major improvements over the previous PSHA practices accomplished in this study is the development of advanced seismic source models in terms of source geometry and reoccurrence relations. Geometry of the linear fault segments are determined and incorporated with the help of available fault maps. Composite magnitude distribution model is used to properly represent the characteristic behavior of NAF without an additional background zone. Fault segments, rupture sources, rupture scenarios and fault rupture models are determined using the WG-2003 terminology. The Turkey-Adjusted NGAW1 (Gülerce et al., 2013) prediction models are employed for the first time on NAF system. The results of the study is presented in terms of hazard curves, deaggregation of the hazard and uniform hazard spectrum for four main locations in the region to provide basis for evaluation of the seismic design of special structures in the area. Hazard maps of the region for rock site conditions and for the proposed site characterization model are provided to allow the user perform site-specific hazard assessment for local site conditions and develop site-specific design spectrum. The results of the study will be useful to manage the future seismic hazard in the region.

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...
An Assessment of the relationship between the local site effects and the distribution of damage in the city of Yalova (Turkey) during 17 August 1999 İzmit earthquake İlhan, Cemal; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The relationship between the local site effects and the damage distribution at the City Centre of Yalova after 1999 İzmit earthquake is investigated. The spatial distribution of building damage is presented by compiling the damage statistics reported after the event. It is observed that structural damage at the coastal areas and the ridges were limited. The most severe damage, however, was observed on Hacımehmet Basin and on the west side of Bağlarbaşı Quarter. Peak ground acceleration during the earthquake...
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...
Broadband ground motion simulation within Duzce city (Turkey) Özmen, Ekin; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019) Earthquakes have more hazardous and devastating effects in populated areas. To prevent damage and reduce the risks, broadband records are collected to use in the seismic hazard assessment and engineering seismology. In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, the simulated ground motions become more important. Broadband ground motion simulations are performed for 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake. Deterministic simulations are performed for low frequency part and stochastic...
Probabilistic assessment of the contribution of geotechnical factors on observed structural damage in Adapazarı and Düzce regions Yıldızlı, Burak; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) The 1999 Kocaeli and Düzce Earthquakes caused extensive damage to the structures in Adapazarı, Düzce and surrounding cities, leading to several attempts to estimate the damage states of the existing building stock using the data collected from these destructive events. Preliminary damage state prediction models that include the geotechnical earthquake engineering factors were developed for Adapazarı after the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake; however, validation exercises were not performed using the data collected ...
