The North Anatolian Fault System (NAFS) has a complex geometry and bifurcates into several branches in the eastern Marmara region. The scientific studies conducted in the area have led to numerous fault and fault segmentation interpretations. This study covers detailed lineament extraction from ASTER images and segmentation delineation by using an extensive literature review on a regional scale and focuses on the continental branches of the NAFS in the eastern Marmara region with their known off-shore extensions. A seismic source model with segmentation, fault length, width and slip rate information was prepared as a newly developed line source model for seismic hazard assessment. A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Duzce city center was performed with segment-source-scenario relations and historical seismicity identification for each defined seismic line source in order to check the applicability of this model.

Modeling of a historical earthquake in Erzincan, Turkey (Ms similar to 7.8, in 1939) using regional seismological information obtained from a recent event Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-06-01) Located within a basin structure, at the conjunction of North East Anatolian, North Anatolian and Ovacik Faults, Erzincan city center (Turkey) is one of the most hazardous regions in the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 1939 (Ms similar to 7.8) as well as the 1992 (Mw = 6.6) earthquakes. The devastative 1939 earthquake occurred in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local...
An Active Composite Pull-apart Basin Within the Central Part of the North Anatolian Fault System: the Merzifon-Suluova Basin, Turkey Rojay, Fuat Bora (2012-07-01) The North Anatolian Fault System (NAPS) that separates the Eurasian plate in the north from the Anatolian microplate in the south is an intracontinental transform plate boundary. Its course makes a northward convex arch-shaped pattern by flexure in its central part between Ladik in the east and Kargi in the west. A number of strike-slip basins of dissimilar type and age occur within the NAFS. One of the spatially large basins is the E-W-trending Merzifon-Suluoya basin (MS basin), about 53 km long and 22 km ...
A Case Study on Identification of Traditional Timber Framed House: Konuralp Bayazitoğlu, Ümit Ceren; Cengiz, Seda (THE ATHENS INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH; 2016-07-05) In Anatolian rural settlements, it can be observed that, local architectural components form the urban and the architectural identity of the district. One of these factors is the construction style of the buildings. In the paper, the structural systems of registered and nonregistered timber civil architecture examples, basically from the first half of the 20th century, that constructed in an area having potential in different perspectives will be analyzed. The field of study is Konuralp; a town of the city ...
MODELING OF THE 1939 ERZINCAN, TURKEY (MS~7.8)EARTHQUAKE: OBSERVATIONS ON ANTICIPATED GROUNDMOTIONS AND FELT INTENSITY DISTRIBUTION Karimzadeh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-06-18) Located within a pull-apart basin at the conjunction of three active faults (North Anatolian, North East Anatolian and Ovacik Faults), Erzincan city center is one of the most hazardous regions of the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 27 December 1939 (Ms=8.0) and the 13 March 1992 (Mw=6.6) events. The former earthquake was in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local seism...
The Character and displacement of Adıyaman fault (southeast anatolia): evidence from subsurface data Durukan, Bayram Alper; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Structural interpretation of five 2D seismic sections acquired by TPAO is carried out in the Adıyaman region of Southeast Anatolia. The sections are geological calibrated with stratigraphic logs of five boreholes. This study has resulted in the discovery of a previously undefined fault, herein named as Şambayat Fault. The fault is a NW-SEtrending structure that parallels the Bozova Fault and comprises several parallel fault segments. The structural maps of Cretaceous Sayındere and Karababa formations are al...
