Modeling landslide displacement behavior is of great importance, especially in populated areas on sloping ground. There are different categories of displacements in mass movements' literature. One of the most common categories is based on the displacement rate, which includes the range of very slow to very rapid landslides with the rate range of a few millimeters per year to hundreds of meters per hour. In this study, a well-monitored slow moving landslide in Italy is selected and studied by finite element method. The fluctuations in the ground water level is modeled in different phases so that the calculated displacement outputs can be separately investigated for each phase. Input material properties and calculated data are calibrated by using the available monitored field data. The results in this study indicated that a simple constitutive model, such as Mohr Coulomb criteria, can be used with acceptable accuracy in predicting the displacement behavior of a slow moving landslide. This can be useful in day-to-day, real-time displacement estimations of slow-moving landslides, especially for a landslide management system.

Simple models for drift estimates in framed structures during near-field earthquakes Erdoğan, Burcu; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Maximum interstory drift and the distribution of this drift along the height of the structure are the main causes of structural and nonstructural damage in frame type buildings subjected to earthquake ground motions. Estimation of maximum interstory drift ratio is a good measure of the local response of buildings. Recent earthquakes have revealed the susceptibility of the existing building stock to near-fault ground motions characterized by a large, long-duration velocity pulse. In order to find rational so...
Discrete element based analyses of structure-reservoir problem for gravity dams Soysal Albostan, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-1-25) The prediction of the nonlinear behavior of gravity dams under seismic actions is challenging. Firstly, a clear damage indicator to quantify the performance limits of such structures is limited. Besides, a proper numerical model producing reliable results both in the linear and nonlinear ranges for the dam body has to be established, coupled with its surrounding reservoir. This study is focused on damage assessment of gravity dams with the goal of determining seismic and post-seismic behavior considering cr...
Finite element implementation of a model to estimate the permanent strain of cyclically-loaded soil Babaoğlu, Muhittin; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2020) In vast majority of geotechnical structures such as monopile or strip foundation, which are subjected to repeated loading, long-term resilience of the structures is directly related with the behavior of granular materials subjected to cyclic loading. Repeatedly loaded structure distributes stress to soil that surrounds the structure. When granular materials are exposed to cyclic loading, plastic strain occurs despite the applied stress is less than plastic yield, which results to residual settlement. This t...
Fragility analysis of wide-beam infill-joist block RC frames Donmez, Cemalettin; Karaarslan, Enes; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2022-01-01) Purpose: The purpose of the presented study is to develop fragility curves for the wide-beam infill-joist block reinforced concrete structures. Theory and Methods: Nonlinear time history analyses are performed for the set of selected ground motions. The performance levels are identified through pushover analysis and fragility curves are produced for ground motion parameters. Results: Fragility curves obtained for the wide-beam RC frames presents a different characteristic than the curves obtained for the co...
An Investigation on the Use of Simulated Records in Derivation of Fragility Curves for RC Buildings in Duzce Kadaş, Koray; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-10-11) Probabilistic assessment of seismic damage for an individual building or a building stock in terms of fragility curves generally requires utilization of ground motion records either seismologically consistent with the probable hazard for the area studied or chosen arbitrarily without considering the seismological characteristics, but covering a range of intensity levels. In both alternatives, the analyst should select several records to be able to perform the probabilistic studies accurately. This condition...
