The pile system of the ship berthing structure at Derince Port was damaged by the August 17, 1999 Izmit earthquake. The reasons might the earthquake shaking and the effect tsunami waves in Izmit Bay, Turkey. Tsunami, is a special type of the wave and can be generated by the sea bottom deformation related to generally the earthquake or the earthquake triggered mass failure mechanisms. These kind of waves in shallow regions are assumed to resemble the solitary, cnoidal or N-waves. Theoretical approaches for the solution of run-up problems of tsunamis showed that the shape of the wave Is important (Tedepalli and Synolakis, 1994, Synolakis, 2001). The similar comparison may be made for the forces on the structure. The computation of the forces and displacements on the piled structures according to the attack of long waves can help to discuss the damage occurred at the piled system at Derince Port In this study by using the observed tsunami wave characteristics in Izmit bay, different type of long wave theories are applied to compute the forces and displacements on the damaged piled system at Derince Port. The reasons of the damage of the piled system are discussed by comparing the computed forces and displacements.

Reconnaissance of 2020 M 7.0 Samos Island (Aegean Sea) earthquake Çetin, Kemal Önder; Sextos, Anastasios; Stewart, Jonathan P. (2021-08-01) The Samos Island (Aegean Sea) Earthquake occurred on 30 October 2020. It produced a tsunami that impacted coastal communities, ground shaking that was locally amplified in some areas and that led to collapse of structures with 118 fatalities in both Greece and Turkey, and wide-ranging geotechnical effects including rockfalls, landsliding, and liquefaction. As a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the reconnaissance of this event did not involve the deployment of international teams, as would be typical ...
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...
Undrained cyclic shear and deformation behavior of silt-clay mixtures of Adapazan, Turkey Yilmaz, MT; Pekcan, Onur; Bakir, BS (2004-09-01) The city of Adapazari, which is mostly located on a deep alluvial basin in the near field of the ruptured fault, experienced substantial damage during the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit), Turkey earthquake (M-w 7.4). Besides over 2800 collapsed and heavily damaged buildings in the city, numerous cases of displacements of various forms and levels occurred at the building foundations. The undrained shear and deformation behavior of silt-clay mixtures encountered at the sites with significant foundation displac...
Analysis of Accelerations from the 1 October 1995 Dinar, Turkey, earthquake Anderson, JG; Zeng, YH; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2001-12-01) The Dinar earthquake, 1 October 1995, occurred in southwestern Turkey and had a moment magnitude of 6.4 and a normal faulting mechanism. The earthquake caused 90 deaths, over 200 injuries, and a large amount of damage. It was recorded by seven strong-motion accelerographs. The strong-motion accelerograph at Dinar is on the edge of the surface projection of the fault. The record from Dinar is possibly unique in its proximity to the causative fault for this type of mechanism. The Dinar strong-motion station i...
Simulation of seismic triggering and failure time perturbations associated with the 30 October 2020 Samos earthquake (Mw 7.0) Sopaci, Eyup; Özacar, Atilla Arda (2021-01-01) The 30 October 2020 Samos earthquake (Mw = 7.0) ruptured a north-dipping offshore normal fault north of the Samos Island with an extensional mechanism. Aftershocks mainly occurred at the western and eastern ends of the rupture plane in agreement with the Coulomb static stress changes. Mechanism of aftershocks located west of the rupture supported activation of the neighboring strike-slip fault almost instantly. In addition, a seismic cluster including events with Mw similar to 4 has emerged two days later a...
