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 simulations are performed for high frequency part of the ground motion record. Broadband ground motion simulations are done using EXSIM program for the stochastic high frequency portion of the ground motion and COMPSYN program for the deterministic low frequency portion. The comparisons of the real and simulated ground motion simulations are done in both time and frequency domains. For comparisons, four stations are selected, namely BOL, DZC, GYN and SKR which are located near Duzce City. Comparisons of observed damage with the distribution of simulated ground motion are also given. Additionally, attenuation of simulated data is compared against ground motion prediction equations. Finally, simulated records of the 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake are used in dynamic response analysis of three selected frames. The responses from simulated data is compared with those from the real data.

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...
Ground motion simulations based on regional input parameters and their impact on insurance premiums: Bursa case Ünal, Barış; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Earthquake Studies (2015) Determination of earthquake parameters are required for earthquake resistant design and retrofitting of exsisting structures. There are not many options to obtain earthquake data for regions with no or sparce earthquake recordings. Even though some methods are aplicable to these regions they generate only peak ground motion parameters. For cases that require the full ground motion simulations are necessary. Simulations can also be used for gaining knowledge about source, path and site effects. In this study...
Seismic fragilities for non-ductile reinforced concrete frames - Role of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties Çelik, Ozan Cem (2010-01-01) Seismic fragilities are essential to earthquake loss estimation and performance-based earthquake engineering in regions of high seismicity. Construction practices for frames in regions of moderate seismicity are quite different, and such frames have received less attention in the literature. Fragilities for performance levels identified in recent seismic regulations are developed herein for reinforced concrete frames designed for gravity load in low-seismic regions using probabilistic non-linear finite elem...
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 of Ilgaz - Abant segments of North Anatolian fault using improved seismic source models Levendoğlu, Mert; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) 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...
