Three probabilistic methods, for the prediction of potential seismic damage to low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey, are presented As the first method. "best estimate" damage probability matrices for each seismic zone are developed by combining expert opinion and the damage statistics compiled from the recent earthquakes occurred in Turkey. Second method involves a reliability-based model, which treats the earthquake force and seismic resistance as random variables This model expresses potential seismic damage in the form of a damage ratio distribution, which is a function of modified Mercalli intensity or peak ground acceleration As the third methodology. discriminant analysis technique is utilized to carry out a statistical analysis on the damage data compiled during recent earthquakes that occurred in Turkey Based on the classification procedure involved in this technique, the damage state probabilities corresponding to different modified Mercalli intensity levels are obtained. These three methods are applied on the building damage databases compiled in the aftermath of several recent earthquakes in Turkey 1992 Erzincan, 1995 Dinar, and 1999 Duzce earthquakes. The probabilistic damage profile obtained according to these three methods is expressed in terms of damage ratios and the results are compared with each other (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved

Prediction of potential damage due to severe earthquakes Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Pay, AC (2004-01-01) A statistical model is developed to estimate the seismic vulnerability of low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings. The model is based on a novel utilization of the discriminant analysis technique of multivariate statistics. Number of stories above the ground level (N), soft story index (SSI), overhang ratio (OHR), minimum normalized lateral stiffness index (MNLSTFI), minimum normalized lateral strength index (MNLSI) and normalized redundancy score (NRS) are selected as the basic estimation variables....
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 ...
Stochastic methods for the estimation of potential seismic damage Askan, Ayşegül; Yücemen, M. Semih; Department of Civil Engineering (2002) Due to uncertainties involved in both occurrences of earthquakes and structural responses, earthquake damage prediction has to be treated in a probabilistic manner. In this study, three stochastic methods, for the prediction of potential seismic damage to low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey, are presented. A damage probability matrix (DPM) expresses what will happen to buildings, designed according to some particular set of requirements, during earthquakes of various intensities. In thi...
Fragility-based assessment of typical mid-rise and low-rise RC buildings in Turkey Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2008-05-01) This paper focuses on the seismic fragility assessment of typical low-rise and mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Turkey by considering Duzce Damage database, which was compiled after the two devastating earthquakes in 1999 that affected the Marmara region. A set of fragility curves is developed by making use of the building characteristics in the database. The generated fragility curve set is referred as "reference" since it forms the basis of a parametric study. Then the influence of sampling ...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for east anatolian fault zone using planar source models Menekşe, Akın; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The objective of this study is to perform probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) using planar seismic source characterization models for East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and to update the design ground motions to be used in the region. Development of planar seismic source models requires the definition of source geometry in terms of fault length, fault width, fault plane angles and segmentation points for each segment and associating the observed seismicity with defined fault systems. This complicat...
