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 apparent causes of them are examined. Also studied are the impacts of these differences on levels of conservatism with regard to evaluation of liquefaction triggering hazard, and the resulting risks for engineering projects.

Evaluation of site conditions for the Ankara Basin of Turkey based on seismic site characterization of near-surface geologic materials Kockar, M. K.; Akgün, Haluk; Rathje, E. M. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Regional site conditions relevant for seismic hazard studies can be derived from various geologic, seismologic, and geotechnical sources. In this study, site conditions are derived for the Ankara Basin in Turkey by merging in-situ seismic measurements of dynamic properties, geologic information, and some geotechnical boring information. Field seismic refraction surveys were performed at 259 sites in the project area to classify and characterize Plio-Pleistocene fluvial deposits and Quaternary alluvial and t...
Use of simulated ground motions for the evaluation of energy response of simple structural systems Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) The literature on energy-based seismic design and assessment methodologies of structural systems mostly relies on real ground motion datasets. However, certain bias exists due to lack of homogeneity in available ground motion datasets. In this study, a large set of ground motions is simulated. Next, the effects of various parameters on seismic behavior of SDOF systems in terms of energy are studied using nonlinear time history analyses. The stochastic finite-fault simulations are performed on the western pa...
Optimum design of seismic isolation systems using metaheuristic search methods ÇERÇEVİK, ALİ ERDEM; Avsar, Ozgur; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This study addresses the optimum design of seismic isolated structures via metaheuristic search methods. Three recently developed bio-inspired search methods, namely crow search (CSA), whale optimization (WOA) and grey wolf optimizer (GWO), were employed to develop efficient design optimization algorithms for parameter optimization of seismic isolated structures. The developed design optimization algorithms have been applied to optimize a shear frame model with a base isolation system, where the main object...
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 ...
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...
