In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, simulated ground motions are required for both seismic hazard and engineering analyses. One important task is evaluating the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of a past major earthquake in Düzce (Turkey). The hybrid ground motion simulation framework presented herein is a combination of a discrete-wavenumber finite element method for simulating low frequencies and a stochastic finite-fault method for the higher frequencies. The proposed technique is first validated by the simulation of the 12 November 1999 Düzce earthquake (Mw = 7.1), which occurred in the North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey. Peak simulated ground motions at selected nodes are then compared against ground motion prediction equations derived with global and local data sets. Next, the spatial distribution of simulated peak ground motion intensities are obtained in the region and compared with the observed damage distribution. Results demonstrate that the earthquake is simulated effectively despite the limitations in number of stations and velocity models. Finally, to evaluate the simulated records in building response estimation, nonlinear time history analyses of three reinforced-concrete multi-degree-of-freedom structures are performed with real and simulated records of the 1999 Düzce earthquake in the OpenSees platform. The results reveal that reasonable predictions can be made regarding the dynamic response of structures using the records simulated with the approach presented herein.

Ground Motion Characterization for Vertical Ground Motions in Turkey—Part 1: V/H Ratio Ground Motion Models Alipour, N.A.; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH; Gülerce, Zeynep (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) Two approaches are used to develop the vertical design spectra in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): (i) performing PSHA for the vertical component using vertical ground motion models (GMMs), and (ii) utilizing the V/H ratio GMMs to scale the horizontal spectrum during or after the hazard calculations for the horizontal component. This study intends to develop a new framework for building a vertical ground motion logic tree that combines both vertical and V/H ratio GMMs in the PSHA analysis. Fo...
Sensitivity Study of Hydrodynamic Parameters During Numerical Simulations of Tsunami Inundation Ozer, Ceren; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01) This paper describes the analysis of a parameter, "hydrodynamic demand,'' which can be used to represent the potential for tsunami drag force related damage to structures along coastlines. It is derived from the ratio of drag force to hydrostatic force caused by a tsunami on the structure. It varies according to the instantaneous values of the current velocities and flow depths during a tsunami inundation. To examine the effects of a tsunami in the present study, the analyses were performed using the tsunam...
Time domain Gauss-Newton seismic waveform inversion in elastic media Sheen, Dong-Hoon; Tuncay, Kağan; Baag, Chang-Eob; Ortoleva, Peter J. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-12-01) We present a seismic waveform inversion methodology based on the Gauss-Newton method from pre-stack seismic data. The inversion employs a staggered-grid finite difference solution of the 2-D elastic wave equation in the time domain, allowing accurate simulation of all possible waves in elastic media. The partial derivatives for the Gauss-Newton method are obtained from the differential equation of the wave equation in terms of model parameters. The resulting wave equation and virtual sources from the recipr...
Seismic hazard assessment for Cyprus Cagnan, Zehra; TANIRCAN, GÜLÜM (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01) In the present study, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was conducted for Cyprus based on several new results: a new comprehensive earthquake catalog, seismic source models based on new research, and new attenuation relationships. Peak ground acceleration distributions obtained for a return period of 475 years for rock conditions indicate high hazard along the southern coastline of Cyprus, where the expected ground motion is between 0.3 and 0.4 g. The rest of the island is characterized by values repr...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation within the City of Duzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozlu, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2017-10-11) Simulated ground motions have been used for both hazard and engineering analyses recently, particularly in areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks. From an engineering point of view, one important task is to evaluate the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of potential events in Duzce (Turkey). The objective is to evaluate...
