A probabilistic model is presented for the assessment of the earthquake insurance rates for important engineering structures, for which the seismic losses could be quite significant. The proposed model is used to estimate the earthquake insurance premiums for the structures taking place in the Bolu Mountain Crossing in the Gumusova-Gerede motorway Section, Turkey. The model requires two types of studies, namely: seismic hazard analysis and estimation of potential damage to structures based on damage probability matrices (DPM). The computations are carried out according to the proposed model by using the seismic hazard results and the best estimate DPM's developed in the study and the annual pure risk premiums are obtained for the different components of the motorway system by making a distinction between sections completed and sections under construction.

Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties Cobanoglu, Baran; ALDEMİR, ALPER; Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Yakut, Ahmet (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-08-01) Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material's properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in Turkey, masonry buildings are assessed generally based on the recommended material properties specified in relevant codes as opposed to testing of samples taken from the existing buildings. However, due to different material types and workmanship quality, the specified properties might be quit...
Renovation of a safety-inspection methodology for river bridges Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Caner, Alp (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-21) River bridges and related infrastructural elements need to be monitored and inspected periodically for deterioration and loss of function due to aging, adverse hydraulic conditions, and chemical attacks. Necessary protective works and related actions should then be implemented to increase safety. Types of items to be inspected would be categorized as structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, and structural material conditions. Requirements for periodic inspections and the ways of handling these activities were d...
Development of Fragility Curves for Single-Column RC Italian Bridges Using Nonlinear Static Analysis Perdomo, Camilo; Monteiro, Ricardo; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2020-05-07) The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and suitability of Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) in the development of analytical damage fragility curves for seismic risk assessment of large portfolios of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges. Seven NSP approaches, from widely used single-mode conventional pushover-based approaches to the more rigorous multi-mode conventional or adaptive pushover-based procedures are implemented. By systematically comparing fragility curve estimations in terms of...
A RANDOM-FIELD MODEL FOR THE ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC HAZARD Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (Elsevier BV, 1993-10-01) A stochastic framework is developed, in terms of the theory of homogeneous random functions, to estimate the seismic hazard associated with linearly extending seismic sources. The formulation is carried out in the space-time domain. An earthquake having at least a magnitude of m is assumed to occur whenever the total strain energy accumulated over the potential rupture plane exceeds the energy level corresponding to this magnitude, m. An alternative formulation, in which an earthquake is generated when the ...
Fragility assessment of building structural systems in Mid-America Ellingwood, Bruce R.; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Kinali, Kursat (2007-10-25) Uncertainty in response of buildings and other civil infrastructure to earthquake ground motion is due to the inherent randomness in the ground motion itself-peak intensity, time-varying amplitude and strongmotion duration, and frequency content-and local design and construction practices. In the recently completed SAC project and ongoing research in the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, the focus is on performance of buildings designed for regions of high seismicity. In contrast, curre...
