Simulated ground motions can be used in structural and earthquake engineering practice as an alternative to or to augment the real ground motion data sets. Common engineering applications of simulated motions are linear and nonlinear time history analyses of building structures, where full acceleration records are necessary. Before using simulated ground motions in such applications, it is important to assess those in terms of their frequency and amplitude content as well as their match with the corresponding real records. In this study, a framework is outlined for assessment of simulated ground motions in terms of their use in structural engineering. Misfit criteria are determined for both ground motion parameters and structural response by comparing the simulated values against the corresponding real values. For this purpose, as a case study, the 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake is simulated using stochastic finite-fault methodology. Simulated records are employed for time history analyses of frame models of typical residential buildings. Next, the relationships between ground motion misfits and structural response misfits are studied. Results show that the seismological misfits around the fundamental period of selected buildings determine the accuracy of the simulated responses in terms of their agreement with the observed responses.

Assessment of synthetic ground motion records obtained from alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-storey frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02) Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
Assessment of alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-story frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-07-01) In regions with sparse ground motion data, simulations provide alternative acceleration time series for evaluation of the dynamic response of a structure. Different ground motion simulation methods provide varying levels of goodness of fit between observed and synthetic data. Before using the seismologically acceptable synthetic records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of synthetics in predicting observed seismic responses of structures. For this purpose, in this study ...
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...
Hybrid-Empirical Ground Motion Estimations for Georgia Tsereteli, Nino; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Hamzehloo, Hossein (2016-10-01) Ground motion prediction equations are essential for several purposes ranging from seismic design and analysis to probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. In seismically active regions without sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models, hybrid models become vital. Georgia does not have sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models. In this study, we have applied the host-totarget method in two regions in Georgia with different source mechanisms. According to the tect...
