The 1999 Kocaeli and Düzce Earthquakes caused extensive damage to the structures in Adapazarı, Düzce and surrounding cities, leading to several attempts to estimate the damage states of the existing building stock using the data collected from these destructive events. Preliminary damage state prediction models that include the geotechnical earthquake engineering factors were developed for Adapazarı after the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake; however, validation exercises were not performed using the data collected from other cities for these earthquakes. In this study, a joint database of performed subsurface soil investigations and the building stock data including the damage states and structural parameters is compiled for Adapazarı and Düzce cities and the geotechnical earthquake engineering parameters are added to the compiled database by performing site-specific ground response and seismic soil liquefaction initiation analysis. Damage state prediction models that include the number of stories, peak ground acceleration, spectral acceleration, liquefaction severity index, and liquefaction induced settlement as predictive parameters are developed by linear discriminant analysis, multinomial logistics regression, and maximum likelihood analysis methods. Models are developed for the Adapazarı dataset that includes significantly higher number of buildings and tested for the Düzce dataset to evaluate the suitability of the selected regression approach and to analyze the contribution of ground motion and geotechnical parameters to the model performance. Analysis results showed that the number of stories is the parameter with the most significant effect on the predictive performance; while the geotechnical parameters increase the true prediction ratio in each damage state by 10%-15%. The final damage state prediction model proposed in this study estimates the damage states in Adapazarı and Düzce correctly by more than 60% for each damage state.

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for earthquake induced landslides Balal, Onur; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools, such as Newmark’s Sliding Block (NSB) Analysis are widely used to represent the stability of a slope under earthquake shaking. The outcome of this analogy is the slope displacement where larger displacement values indicate higher seismic slope instability risk. Recent studies in the literature propose empirical models between the slope displacement and single or multiple ground mot...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Ilgaz - Abant segments of North Anatolian fault using improved seismic source models Levendoğlu, Mert; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Bolu-Ilgaz region was damaged by several large earthquakes in the last century and the structural damage was substantial especially after the 1944 and 1999 earthquakes. The objective of this study is to build the seismic source characterization model for the rupture zone of 1944 Bolu-Gerede earthquake and perform probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in the region. One of the major improvements over the previous PSHA practices accomplished in this study is the development of advanced seismic source...
Re-examination of damage distribution in Adapazari: Structural considerations Yakut, Ahmet; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Yilmaz, MT (2005-06-01) Adapazari was the scene of spectacular structural damage as well as widespread foundation displacement that occurred in the city during the devastating earthquake of August 17, 1999. The damage patterns observed in Adapazari were quite peculiar, so these are re-examined in an effort to answer the question of whether they are indicative of a consistent trend in terms of the building attributes and/or site conditions. For this purpose two databases comprising buildings surveyed in Adapazari after the earthqua...
3-D soil structure interaction analyses of three identical buildings in Sakarya city after 17 August 1999 Kocaeli earthquake Ünal, Orhan; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2003) The aim of this study is to analyze the soil structure interaction of three identical buildings on ®ahinler Street of Sakarya city which had no damage to heavy damage after the Kocaeli (1999) earthquake. For the purpose of 3-D dynamic nonlinear analysis of the soil site and the overlying structures, Flac3D software was chosen as the numerical modeling framework. Soil properties were determined by using the results of available site investigation studies. A three dimensional mesh was created to represent the...
Estimation of earthquake damage probabilities for reinforced concrete buildings Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2003-05-13) Due to uncertainties involved both in the occurrence of earthquakes and in structural response, earthquake damage prediction has to be treated in a probabilistic manner. In this study two statistical methods are presented for the prediction of potential seismic damage to low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Turkey. These methods are based on the utilization of damage probability matrices and reliability theory. The damage data compiled during recent earthquakes that occurred in Turkey are used ...
