This manuscript presents the seismic source characterization models that were developed and used for the Western Balkan region in the framework of Harmonization of Seismic Hazard Maps in the Western Balkan Countries Project (BSHAP II) funded by NATO-Science for Peace and Security Program. Relevant knowledge about the geological and seismotectonic structure of Western Balkans and surrounding region was collected and utilized along with the BSHAP focal mechanism database and the BSHAP earthquake catalogue (Markusic et al. in Bull Earthq Eng 14(2): 321-343, 2016. doi: 10.1007/s10518015- 9833-z) to delineate seismic source models for different purposes. The super zone model of large zones bounds the regions with similar seismotectonic characteristics and catalogue completeness levels and was used for calculating the regional b-value of the magnitude recurrence relationship. Additionally, two models of smaller zones that represent the epistemic uncertainty in source geometry, maximum magnitude and style-of-faulting, were developed to be employed in the two-stage (circular and elliptical) smoothing procedure. Sets of sensitivity analyses are performed to support final estimates of some models' parameters affecting the smoothed seismicity rate. The seismic source models and the logic-tree presented here are to be implemented in the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the seismic hazard maps of the Western Balkan region.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TURKISH EARTHQUAKE CODE 2007 AND TURKISH BUILDING EARTHQUAKE CODE 2018 Asgarov, İsmayıl; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-11-24) This thesis compares the complete analysis and design procedure of TEC 2007 and TBEC 2018 for an archetype reinforced concrete building with three different story configurations (three-story, six-story, twelve-story), and the structures are analyzed and designed at three locations in Türkiye (Istanbul, Ankara, Adana). The study focuses on the differences between the defined approaches in the mentioned codes regarding seismic load calculation, finite element model preparation, and reinforced concrete m...
