Two arrays comprising 20 strong-motion sensors were established in western Turkey. The 14 stations of BYTNet follow a N-S trending line about 65 km in length, normal to strands of the North Anatolian fault that runs between the cities of Bursa and Yalova. Here the dominant character of the potential fault movement is a right-lateral transform slip. The DATNet array, comprising a total of eight stations, is arranged along a 110-km-long E-W trending direction along the Menderes River valley between Denizli and Aydin. (Two stations in this array were incorporated from the existing Turkish national strong-motion network.) This is an extensional tectonic environment, and the network monitors potential large normal-faulting earthquakes on the faults in the valley.

3D resistivity imaging from an archaeological site in south-western Anatolia, Turkey: a case study Drahor, M. G.; Gokturkler, G.; Berge, M. A.; Kurtulmus, T. Oe.; Tuna Çengel, Nur Nagihan (Wiley, 2007-06-01) A large-scale resistivity imaging survey was performed in the acropolis area of Archaic Cnidos, south-western Turkey. This survey was a part of the geophysical studies conducted between 1999 and 2004. Two-dimensional resistivity data were acquired along a number of parallel lines using a pole-pole array. The data was processed using a 3D inversion algorithm based on a robust technique. We also applied shaded-relief processing to enhance the representation of the images of apparent-resistivity data and inver...
Site-specific uniform hazard spectrum in Eastern Turkey based on simulated ground motions including near-field directivity and detailed site effects Sisi, Aida Azari; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-04-01) In this study, stochastic earthquake catalog of the Erzincan region in Turkey is generated based on synthetic ground motions. Monte Carlo simulation method is used to identify the spatial and temporal distribution of events. Ground motion time histories are generated using stochastic simulation methodology. Annual exceedance rate of each ground motion amplitude is calculated through statistical distribution of the complete set of ground motions. The results are compared with classical probabilistic seismic ...
Integration of electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) methods to identify soil profile around Necatibey Subway Station, Ankara, Turkey AKTÜRK, ÖZGÜR; Doyuran, Vedat (2015-08-01) Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) methods were utilized in this study to identify soil profiles around Necatibey Subway Station of Kizilay-C, ayyolu metro line, Ankara, Turkey. The Necatibey Metro Station is located within the alluvial deposits of Dikmen stream and the so-called Ankara clay. At the metro station, a number of boreholes were drilled. However, due to the spacing of the boreholes the boundary between alluvium and Ankara clay deposits could not be separated ...
Resonance-Based Temperature Sensors using a Wafer Level Vacuum Packaged SOI MEMS Process Aydın, Gülşah Demirhan; Akın, Tayfun (VBRI Press AB, 2020-01-01) This paper reports the development of resonance-based temperature sensors using a wafer level vacuum packaged SOI MEMS process which is normally used to implement various MEMS sensors, including MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers. Implementing MEMS temperature sensors in such a MEMS process together with sensitive MEMS sensors allows obtaining temperature data, which is very useful for the compensation of a number of parameters of these MEMS sensors for obtaining improved performance from these sensors.

Estimation of seismic losses in urban regions within an interdisciplinary framework a case study Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet; Asten, Michael; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh (2014-04-30) Abstract – The purpose of the study described in this article was to assess teachers’planning practices at the primary-school level in Turkey. Altogether 210 schools weresurveyed, a questionnaire was distributed to all teachers in these schools, and 1194teachers responded to the questionnaire. The results indicated that the main sourcesof influence on daily and unit plans are teachers’ experience, the national curriculumand the course textbooks. In daily planning, teachers ass...
