The Dinar earthquake, 1 October 1995, occurred in southwestern Turkey and had a moment magnitude of 6.4 and a normal faulting mechanism. The earthquake caused 90 deaths, over 200 injuries, and a large amount of damage. It was recorded by seven strong-motion accelerographs. The strong-motion accelerograph at Dinar is on the edge of the surface projection of the fault. The record from Dinar is possibly unique in its proximity to the causative fault for this type of mechanism. The Dinar strong-motion station is in a small, stiff building on soft sediments with a shallow water table. The peak acceleration was 0.32g on the horizontal component perpendicular to the fault trace.

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...
Evaluation of Successful Seismic Bridge Design Practice in Turkey Okuyucu, Dilek; Kale, Ozkan; Erdil, Barış; Caner, Alp; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Akansel, Vesile Hatun (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-02-01) On October 23, 2011, a destructive earthquake of Mw=7.1 occurred in Eastern Turkey. The event occurred on a previously unknown fault with a thrust mechanism and resulted in 604 deaths and major structural damage to the buildings. The highways at the Van earthquake zone were open to service of rescue operations, aid trucks, and regular traffic immediately after the devastating event. As a success story, the bridges closer to the fault line than the towns of Van and Erci were observed to have minimal damage, ...
Fault Process and Broadband Ground-Motion Simulations of the 23 October 2011 Van (Eastern Turkey) Earthquake Gallovic, F.; Ameri, G.; Zahradnik, J.; Jansky, J.; Plicka, V.; Sokos, E.; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Pakzad, M. (2013-12-01) On 23 October 2011 an M-w 7.1 earthquake occurred in eastern Turkey, close to the towns of Van and Ercis, causing more than 600 casualties and widespread structural damage. The earthquake ruptured a 60-70 km long northeast-southwest fault with a thrust mechanism, in agreement with regional tectonic stress regime. We studied the fault process of the event and the recorded ground motions using different sets of data. Regional records (0.005-0.010 Hz) are used to constrain the centroid moment tensor solution. ...
Predictive performance of current ground motion models for recorded strong motions in 2020 Samos Earthquake Akbaş, Burak; Gülerce, Zeynep; Sopacı, Eyüp; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Önder, Fatih M.; UZEL, BORA; Can, Gizem; Çakır, Elife; Ilgaç, Makbule; Saltoğlu, Nazlı; Söylemez, Berkan; Askan, Aysegul; Cetin, Kemal Onder; Unutmaz, Berna (2022-01-01) The 2020 M7.0 Samos earthquake had occurred on the north of Samos Island; however, structural damage was observed in İzmir-Bayraklı, which is located approximately 65 km away from the epicenter. Strong ground motions recorded in İzmir Bay showed unique site amplifications, mostly due to the interaction between the basin and deep alluvial deposit response. The objective of this study is to evaluate the predictive performance of current ground motion models (GMMs) for estimating the recorded strong motions, e...
Strong-Ground-Motion Simulation of the 6 April 2009 L'Aquila, Italy, Earthquake Ugurhan, Beliz; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Akinci, Aybige; Malagnini, Luca (2012-08-01) On 6 April 2009, an earthquake of M-w 6.13 (Herrmann et al., 2011) occurred in central Italy, close to the town of L'Aquila. Although the earthquake is considered to be a moderate-size event, it caused extensive damage to the surrounding area. The earthquake is identified with significant directivity effects: high-amplitude, short-duration motions are observed at the stations that are oriented along the rupture direction, whereas low-amplitude, long-duration motions are observed at the stations oriented in ...
