We investigate the role of major seismological (magnitude, pulse period, fault length, seismic activity, orientation of incident seismic wave with respect to fault-strike) and geometrical (fault-site geometry) parameters to understand the variations in ground-motion demands due to near-fault directivity (NFD) effects. To this end, we used a suite of probabilistic strike-slip earthquake scenarios and established the elastic spectral amplitude distributions conditioned on the above investigated parameters. The probabilistic earthquake scenarios also provided information on the sensitivity of directivity dominant near-fault (NF) ground motions to mean annual exceedance rates. We implemented different narrow-band directivity models to observe the significance of seismological modeling in the directivity dominant NF ground-motion amplitudes. The observations from these case studies suggest that each one of the above parameters have implications on the amplitude and spatial variation of directivity dominating NF ground-motion demands. The influence of each investigated parameter on NFD spectral amplitudes is dependent of the implemented directivity model. We also establish some rules to map the spatial extent of directivity dominant ground motions considering the variations in the investigated seismological parameters. The outcomes of the paper can be used to incorporate the NFD effects into design spectra representing different annual exceedance rates.

An evaluation of the 2019 seismic hazard map of Turkey on the basis of spectrum intensity
Akansel, Vesile Hatun; Soysal, Berat Feyza; Kadaş, Koray; Gülkan, Hakkı Polat (null; 2019-10-11)
Seismic hazard maps show the distribution of expected earthquake shaking levels that have a specific probability of occurrence for a region, and provide input for engineers to design structures that will withstand earthquake ground shaking. The 2019 Turkish Building Earthquake Regulation relies on an updated seismic hazard map that considers new source models and more recent ground motion prediction equations. The effect of the change in seismic hazard map that will directly affect the code-based seismic de...
A study on uncertainty-based flood analysis
Akpınar, Mustafa Berkay; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1)
A hydraulic model is a collection of mathematical equations that give a simple representation of reality with the inputs obtained from hydrological assessments to estimate flow, flow depth and velocity in channels. Basically, hydraulic models require digital elevation models, Intensity-Duration-Frequency curves, maximum flows from hydrographs, and roughness coefficients from field studies and/or satellite images. Inherently, these major inputs have uncertainties due to the complex nature of the evalua...
A Model for Vertical-to-Horizontal Response Spectral Ratios for Europe and the Middle East
Bommer, Julian J.; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kale, Ozkan (2011-08-01)
In the framework of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the preferred approach for obtaining the response spectrum of the vertical component of motion is to scale the horizontal spectrum by vertical-to-horizontal (V/H) spectral ratios. In order to apply these ratios to scenario or conditional mean spectra, the V/H ratios need to be defined as a function of variables such as magnitude, distance, and site classification. A new model for the prediction of V/H ratios for peak ground acceleration and spectral...
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 ...
Proposed minimum restoring force equations for seismic isolated structures
Görgülü, Ali Günalp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2019)
In this research study, a new set of restoring force equations are proposed for seismic isolated structures subjected to far fault ground motions (FFGM) and near fault ground motions (NFGM). For this purpose, 110 FFGM and 49 NFGM are selected. Then, nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) of SDOF seismic isolated structures are performed using the selected ground motions to obtain their residual and maximum displacements. The analyses are repeated for an extensive range of parameters including peak ground a...
