Earthquakes are the natural catastrophes which have the highest unpredictability; destructive earthquakes appear less frequently in time and space. However, the financial impact of such earthquakes on human lives and economies is disastrous. The prediction on the occurrence of an earthquake in time, magnitude and location is expressed in terms of their joint probabilities. The estimation on the economic losses mainly depend on the properties of the structure. The variability in these variables makes it difficult to collect enough historical information for a precise loss estimation and, hence, for determining a realistic insurance premium. This paper questions how much load should be added to the earthquake insurance premiums which incorporate the influence of the factors being ignored due to the loss of the information. Bayesian regression emphasizing the information needed in optimal premium valuation conditional to the parameter estimates, is employed. The implementation of the proposed method is done for the parameter estimation in Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool premiums which aims to yield a limited earthquake coverage in a compulsory insurance scheme.

Risk assessment and pricing of natural hazards earthquake case
Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (null; 2015-10-16)
The potential impacts of natural hazards are enormous. In such catastrophes the economies and human lives are exposed to unpredictable losses. Probabilistic modeling of such hazards require long term historical information which enables researchers to determine the potential risk for certain periods. However, even though its increasing trend in the frequency of such events, the factors influencing the magnitude of the losses are diverse and many. Earthquakes are the most severe one as its occurrence and sev...
Estimation of earthquake damage probabilities for reinforced concrete buildings
Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2003-05-13)
Due to uncertainties involved both in the occurrence of earthquakes and in structural response, earthquake damage prediction has to be treated in a probabilistic manner. In this study two statistical methods are presented for the prediction of potential seismic damage to low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey. These methods are based on the utilization of damage probability matrices and reliability theory. The damage data compiled during recent earthquakes that occurred in Turkey are used ...
Simulation of large earthquakes and its implications on earthquake insurance rates: a case study in Bursa region (Turkey)
ÜNAL, Baris; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-01-01)
Ground motion intensity parameters of past and potential earthquakes are required for a range of purposes including earthquake insurance practice. In regions with no or sparse earthquake recordings, most of the available methods generate only peak ground motion parameters. For cases where full ground motion time histories are required, simulations that consider fault rupture processes become necessary. In this study, a major novel use of simulated ground motions is presented in insurance premium calculation...
Determination of the change in building capacity during earthquakes
Çevik, Deniz; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
There is a great amount of building stock built in earthquake regions where earthquakes frequently occur. It is very probable that such buildings experience earthquakes more than once throughout their economic life. The motivation of this thesis arose from the lack of procedures to determine the change in building capacity as a result of prior earthquake damage. This study focuses on establishing a method that can be employed to determine the loss in the building capacity after experiencing an earthquake. I...
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...
