Cyclic response of saturated sands has become one of the most popular topics in geotechnical earthquake engineering due to the consequent damages of earthquakes. Related to this topic, detailed performance of offshore structures founded on saturated sands under the effect of cyclic loads carries vital economic importance. It is well-known that besides seismic loading; storm, wind and/or submarine slope failures have direct effect on the strength and deformation behavior of soils through induced sea-level variations. This study summarizes the results of a series of cyclic triaxial tests performed to simulate the behavior of fully-saturated coarse grained sands under wave-induced cyclic loading. Evaluating the excess pore water pressure generation and shear strain accumulation response along with the number of cycles required for liquefaction triggering for sands, having different relative densities, and being subjected to various cyclic shear stress ratios (CSR), the following observations are made; i) number of cycles to liquefaction increases with increasing relative density and decreasing CSR, ii) for medium dense foundation and backfill soils, liquefaction is not triggered for CSR values less than 0.1 under reasonable number of cycles, and iii) number of cycles to liquefaction decreases significantly for soils subjected to CSR values exceeding of 0.25. These results were used to express the effects of the variation in water level and liquefaction triggering response in terms of in-situ test data, wave height and number of waves for the granular backfill of a sample offshore structure.

A Methodology for Seismic Loss Estimation in Urban Regions Based on Ground-Motion Simulations Ugurhan, Beliz; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2011-04-01) Seismic vulnerability assessment of residential buildings in regions of high seismicity is an interdisciplinary problem requiring major inputs from fields of seismology and earthquake engineering. The basic two components of loss estimation methods are information on regional seismicity and building stock. This study presents a realistic loss estimation methodology where the first component, input ground motions, is obtained from regional ground-motion simulations using the stochastic finite-fault technique...
Low cycle fatigue effects in the damage caused by the Marmara earthquake of August 17, 1999 Acar, Fikri; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) This study mainly addresses the problem of estimating the prior earthquake damage on the response of reinforced concrete structures to future earthquakes. The motivation has arisen from the heavy damages or collapses that occurred in many reinforced concrete structures following two major earthquakes that recently occurred in the Marmara Region, Turkey. The analysis tool employed for this purpose is the package named IDARC2D. Deterioration parameters of IDARC's hysteretic model have been calibrated using a ...
In-plane seismic performance of different infill wall systems in ductile reinforced concrete frames Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet (2023-01-01) The seismic response of infilled frames draws considerable interest in the earthquake engineering community for the last decades. Whilst the early studies were concerned with added lateral stiffness and strength, recent studies focused primarily on deformability and performance improvement. In this study, an experimental campaign was conducted to investigate the seismic performance of ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames infilled with hollow clay bricks and autoclaved aerated concrete blocks. The effecti...
The Turkish catastrophe insurance pool claims modeling 2000-2008 data Sarıbekir, Gözde; Başbuğ Erkan, Berna Burçak; Department of Statistics (2013) After the 1999 Marmara Earthquake, social, economic and engineering studies on earthquakes became more intensive. The Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP) was established after the Marmara Earthquake to share the deficit in the budget of the Government. The TCIP has become a data source for researchers, consisting of variables such as number of claims, claim amount and magnitude. In this thesis, the TCIP earthquake claims, collected between 2000 and 2008, are studied. The number of claims and claim pay...
Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading at Izmit Bay during the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit) – Turkey Earthquake Çetin, Kemal Önder; Seed, R. B.; Bray, J. D.; Durgunoglu,durgunoglu, H. T.,h. T.; Lettis,lettis, W.,w.; Yilmaz, M. T. (2004-12-01) This paper presents a study of liquefaction-induced lateral ground displacements along the coast of Izmit Bay during the 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit)-Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (1) observed ground 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, and piezocone tests, (3) analyses of expected lateral displacements using two empirical models and one semiempirical mod...
