Seismic Intensity Maps for Scenario Events on the Eastern Segments of North Anatolian Fault Zone of Turkey based on Simulated Ground Motion Data

Seismic Intensity Maps for the Eastern Part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey) Based on Recorded and Simulated Ground-Motion Data Askan, Aysegul; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Bilal, Mustafa (2017-01-01) Seismic intensity maps are employed globally in the aftermaths of earthquakes for rapid response purposes. These maps involve correlations between intensity and peak ground-motion values. In this study, we focus on eastern sections of the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ). The eastern segments of the NAFZ are less investigated and have sparse seismic networks compared with western ones. In particular, we study Erzincan, which is a small city in eastern Turkey, located in the conjunction of three active faul...
Seismic intensity maps for the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey) based on recorded and simulated ground-motion data Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (John Wiley & Sons, 2017-01-01) "Neotectonics involves the study of the motions and deformations of the Earth's crust that are current or recent in geologic time. The Mediterranean region is one of the most important regions for neotectonics and related natural hazards. This volume focuses on the neotectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean region, which has experienced many major extensive earthquakes, including the devastating Izmit, Turkey earthquake on August 17, 1999. The event lasted for 37 seconds, killing around 17,000 people, injuri...
Seismic hazard assessment for the North Anatolian and San Andreas faults based on random field models Akkaya, AD; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (1999-12-15) The North Anatolian fault (NAF), located in northern Turkey and California's San Andreas fault (SAF) show remarkable similarities. A random field model, developed by the authors (Akkaya & Yucemen 1996) is utilized to compare the seismicity characteristics of the two faults on a statistical basis. The seismic hazard model is based on the level-crossing theory of random fields and considers the space-time correlations simultaneously and explicitly through the use of spatial and temporal scales of fluctuation....
Seismic damage assessment based on regional synthetic ground motion dataset: a case study for Erzincan, Turkey Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-01) Estimation of seismic losses is a fundamental step in risk mitigation in urban regions. Structural damage patterns depend on the regional seismic properties and the local building vulnerability. In this study, a framework for seismic damage estimation is proposed where the local building fragilities are modeled based on a set of simulated ground motions in the region of interest. For this purpose, first, ground motion records are simulated for a set of scenario events using stochastic finite-fault methodolo...
Seismicity, focal mechanisms and active stress field around the central segment of the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey Karasozen, E.; Özacar, Atilla Arda; Biryol, C. Berk; Beck, Susan L. (2014-01-01) We analysed locations and focal mechanisms of events with magnitude >= 3, which are recorded by 39 broad-band seismic stations deployed during the North Anatolian Passive Seismic Experiment (2005-2008) around central segment of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). Using P- and S-arrival times, earthquakes are relocated and a new 1-D seismic velocity model of the region is derived. Relocated events in the area are mainly limited to a depth of 15 km and present seismicity in the southern block indicates widesprea...
