Since 1973, the General Directorate of Disaster Affairs of Turkey has deployed several strong-motion accelerographs at selected sites. Within the framework of the project entitled Compilation of National Strong Ground Motion Database in Accordance with International Standards, site conditions were investigated within the upper 30-m depth by surface seismic and standard penetration tests. Preliminary characterization of the sites is made by making use of both geophysical and geotechnical criteria of NEHRP Provisions and Eurocode-8 site classification systems. The liquefaction susceptibility of those sites which comprise saturated cohesionless deposits is also determined. Mean shear-wave velocity, mean penetration resistance, site class, and liquefaction susceptibility of each site are tabulated. The Turkish strong-motion database supplemented by detailed information on site conditions is a valuable source of information particularly for those studies that put emphasis on the relationship between site conditions and strong-motion parameters.

Site classification of Turkish national strong-motion recording sites Sandıkkaya, Mustafa Abdullah; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Since 1976, the General Directorate of Disaster Affairs of Turkey has deployed several strong-motion accelerographs at selected sites. Within the framework of the project entitled Compilation of National Strong Ground Motion Database in Accordance with International Standards, initiated in 2006, site conditions at a total of 153 strong-motion sites were investigated within the uppermost 30 m depth through boreholes including Standard Penetration Testing and surface seismics by means of Multi-channel Analysi...
Residents’ view of the opportunities and threats provided by military sites and the possible transformation of these areas: the case of Mamak (Ankara) military headquaters Ural, Ece; Severcan, Yücel Can; Department of City and Regional Planning (2019) The redevelopment of military sites increasingly becomes a popular planning problem in Turkey. Especially since the 2000s, attempts to transformation of military sites have been motivated largely by the authorities in Turkey because of a number of reasons, including security and political. The problem being addressed in this study is related to the complexity of defining the future use of military sites. In addition to political and economic factors, there are a variety of human factors that needs to be con...
Assessing standard - compliance of public institution web sites of Turkey Yalçınkaya, Sinem; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2012) Since 2003, almost every public institution has developed a web site through e-transformation project (eDTr) in Turkey. When there are so many institutions and different web sites, a need for standard becomes inevitable. To address this need, a standard was published by TÜRKSAT A.ġ. in January 2009 which constitutes of the rules and recommendations for these web sites referencing international web standards as well. The purpose of this study is to analyze the compatibility of public institutions‟ web sites ...
The role of Gender in Pharmacists Attitudes towards E-pharmacy Application Alasehir, Oguzhan; Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2012-06-29) There have been a number of projects conducted to provide health services by using information technologies in Turkey. The aim of these projects was to establish a platform to serve health services quickly and by the most accurate way. Although such systems provide various functionalities in theory, a new system has always been questioned in terms of its acceptability and usability in practice. In this study, a web-based application used by pharmacists for patient's medicine records and its registration, na...
Numerical and experimental investigation of the thermal behavior of a newly developed attitude Determination Control Unit in a Vacuum environment ÖMÜR, Cem; UYGUR, A Bilge; IŞIK, H Gürgüç; Tarı, İlker (2011-06-11) Within the framework of satellite programs carried out in Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI), a new Attitude Determination Control Unit (ADCU) has been developed. The present study involves the Thermal Vacuum Cycling Tests (TVCT) performed on the ADCU and the thermal mathematical model developed in order to assess the thermal behavior of the equipment under vacuum environment. For the qualification of the ADCU, 8 cycles of TVCT has been performed in a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVC). By demonstrating tha...
