This study serves as an update to the Cetin et al. (2000, 2004) [1,2] databases and presents new liquefaction triggering curves. Compared with these studies from over a decade ago, the resulting new Standard Penetration Test (SPT)-based triggering curves have shifted to slightly higher CSR-levels for a given N-1,N-60,N-cs for values of N-1,N-60,N-cs greater than 15 blows/ft, but the correlation curves remain essentially unchanged at N-1,N-60,N-cs values less than 15 blows/ft. This paper addresses the improved database and the methodologies used for the development of the updated triggering relationships. A companion paper addresses the principal issues that cause differences among three widely used SPT-based liquefaction triggering relationships.

Seismically induced landslide at degirmendere nose, Izmit Bay during Kocaeli (Izmit)-Turkey earthquake
Çetin, Kemal Önder; Unutmaz, B (Elsevier BV, 2004-04-01)
This paper presents a study on the analyses of seismically induced landslide at Degirmendere Nose during the 1999 Kocaeli (lzmit)-Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (1) observed ground deformations and displacements after the earthquake, (2) the results of field investigations by means of borings and in situ index tests including standard penetration tests, static cone penetration tests (CPT) and piezocone tests, (3) analyses of observed landslide mechanisms by a suite of methods and (4) potential effe...
Compatible ground-motion prediction equations for damping scaling factors and vertical-to-horizontal spectral amplitude ratios for the broader Europe region
AKKAR, SİNAN; SANDIKKAYA, M. A.; Ay, Bekir Özer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-02-01)
In a companion article Akkar et al. (Bull Earthq Eng, doi: 10.1007/s10518-013-9461-4, 2013a; Bull Earthq Eng, doi: 10.1007/s10518-013-9508-6, 2013b) present a new ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) for estimating 5 %-damped horizontal pseudo-acceleration spectral (PSA) ordinates for shallow active crustal regions in Europe and the Middle East. This study provides a supplementary viscous damping model to modify 5 %-damped horizontal spectral ordinates of Akkar et al. (Bull Earthq Eng, doi: 10.1007/s105...
Examination of differences between three SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationships
Çetin, Kemal Önder; Kayen, Robert E.; Moss, Robb E. S.; Bilge, Habib Tolga; Ilgaç, Makbule (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01)
The preceding companion paper presented the updating of the seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationship of Cetin et al. [1], and compared the resulting updated relationship with the earlier version. In this second paper, a detailed cross-comparison is made between three triggering relationships: (1) Seed et al. [2], as slightly updated by the NCEER Working Group (Youd et al. [3]), (2) Boulanger and Idriss [4], and (3) Cetin et al. [5]. Differences between these three triggering relationships, and the ...
Evaluation of the performance of the face slab of a CFRD during earthquake excitation
Arıcı, Yalın (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01)
The primary goal of this study was to examine the cracking behavior of the face plate of a CFRD during earthquake excitation. Analyses of the impounding stage and earthquake loading were conducted in sequential phases using a 2-D plane-strain model with the appropriate non-linear constitutive relationships for the dam constituents. The effect of rockfill stiffness and the face plate design properties on the seismic performance of the face plate was investigated. The crack widths on the plate increased with ...
Comment on 'Rockfall avalance deposits associated with normal faulting in the NW of the Cankiri basin: implications for the post-collisional tectonic evolution of the Neo-Tethyan suture zone' by G. Seyitoglu, N. Kazanci, L. Karadenizli, S. Sen, B. Varol, and T. Karabiyikoglu
Kaymakcı, Nuretdin (Wiley, 2003-04-01)
Seyitoglu et al. (2000) described their interpretation, based on a single fault surface and rockfall avalanche deposits previously mapped as a W-vergent thrust klippen above the Neogene successions in the Hancili Basin, that in central Anatolia there was a single extensional basin throughout the Miocene - Early Pliocene. It was later fragmented by a structural high of Neo-Tethyan ophiolitic basement bounded by an E-vergent thrust fault in the east along the western margin of the Cankiri Basin and a west-dip...
