Ground motion records are generally required to develop fragility curves which are utilized in seismic loss estimation studies for earthquake prone zones. These records could be 'real', i.e. recorded acceleration time series or 'simulated' records consistent with the regional seismicity and produced using alternative simulation techniques. This study mainly concentrates on development of fragility curves for masonry buildings located in Erzincan (eastern Turkey) using 'simulated' ground motion records and evaluates the suitability of these fragilities by comparing with the curves developed utilizing 'real' records. To generate a set of scenario earthquakes by using regional seismicity parameters of Erzincan, stochastic finite-fault methodology has been employed as the simulation technique. The 'real' records, on the other hand, are selected from Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center's NGA-West2 ground motion database and chosen to be compatible with the seismological characteristics of the region of interest. The records are imposed on a set of masonry buildings (with 1-, 2-, 3-stories and 3 different quality classes) representing the building stock in Erzincan. To assess the dynamic responses of the structures, nonlinear time history analyses utilizing equivalent single-degree-of-freedom systems are performed on OpenSees platform. Afterwards, fragility curves for three limit states (Immediate Occupancy, Life Safety and Collapse Prevention) are generated. This study also investigates the sensitivity of these fragility curves to ground motion variability and two alternative fragility curve generation methods. (c) 2017 The Authors.

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...
Derivation of analytical fragility curves using SDOF models of masonry structures in Erzincan (Turkey) Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (2020-02-01) Seismic loss estimation studies require fragility curves which are usually derived using ground motion datasets. Ground motion records can be either in the form of recorded or simulated time histories compatible with regional seismicity. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the use of alternative ground motion datasets (simulated and real) on the fragility curves. Simulated dataset is prepared considering regional seismicity parameters corresponding to Erzincan using the stochastic finite-fault ...
Evaluation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for Concrete Gravity Dams SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (Elsevier BV; 2017-09-13) The seismic safety of dam structures is often evaluated using time history analyses conducted with a limited number of ground motions. The selection and scaling of the ground motions is usually the most effective factor determining the results of the safety assessment. The inherent variability in the ground motion as well as the difficulty of conducting the analyses for a large number of ground motions renders the selection as the most important factor in the analysis results. The guidelines for the nonline...
An Interdisciplinary Approach for Regional Seismic Damage Estimation Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-01-09) In order to mitigate seismic risk in urban regions, the first task is to identify potential seismic losses in future earthquakes. Seismic loss estimation is an interdisciplinary framework including a wide range of contributions from geophysical and earthquake engineers, physical and economic planners to insurance companies. In this study, a moderate size city in Turkey, namely Erzincan, is modeled completely from geophysical attributes to the built environment. Erzincan city is on the eastern part of the No...
An Investigation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for the Nonlinear Seismic Analyses of Concrete Gravity Dams Soysal, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (2019-07-03) Seismic assessment of gravity dams is generally carried out using time history analyses. Scaling of the motions is commonly used; however, in contrast to buildings, the performance of scaling procedures at predicting the mean and reducing the dispersion in engineering demand parameters (EDPs) is not known. The main goal of this study is to assess the performance of different scaling procedures in predicting seismic demands on dams. The performance regarding the prediction of the damage and the required numb...
