The simplicity of the point-source stochastic simulation method makes it one of the most appealing tools for the quantification of ground motions for seismic hazard related studies. In this article, we scrutinize the limitations of this technique in terms of fundamental geophysical model parameters. To achieve this objective, we use the estimations of recent Next Generation Attenuation (NGA) and European empirical ground-motion models that are based on global strong-motion databases. The generated synthetics account for the local nonlinear soil effects through 1D site-response analysis. Thus, apart from our major objective, we also derive a probability-based soil-profile model that considers the random variation of shear-wave slowness as a function of depth. We discuss the critical variations of dynamic material properties, such as shear modulus and material damping, during the site-response analysis. We generate a total of 6000 synthetic records with a magnitude range of 5: 0 <= M-w <= 7: 5 and source-to-site distances (d) less than 100 km. The site class of the synthetics is defined by the average shear-wave velocity of the upper 30 m soil profile (V-S30), with V-S30 values ranging between 180 m/sec and 1500 m/sec. Our analysis indicates that synthetics that are generated using R-hyp (hypocentral distance) as the reference distance metric may fail to describe compatible variations of ground-motion demands with respect to global ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs), particularly for small-magnitude and short-distance recordings. The performance of synthetics for these latter cases can be improved if one uses R-rup (shortest distance from the fault rupture). Our inspections on the frequency-domain behavior of synthetics reveal that they can be reliably used in spectral calculations for periods up to 20 sec. Within the context of this article, we also present a simple baseline correction method to obtain reliable ground displacements from the synthetics that are subjected to site-response analysis.

Time domain Gauss-Newton seismic waveform inversion in elastic media
Sheen, Dong-Hoon; Tuncay, Kağan; Baag, Chang-Eob; Ortoleva, Peter J. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-12-01)
We present a seismic waveform inversion methodology based on the Gauss-Newton method from pre-stack seismic data. The inversion employs a staggered-grid finite difference solution of the 2-D elastic wave equation in the time domain, allowing accurate simulation of all possible waves in elastic media. The partial derivatives for the Gauss-Newton method are obtained from the differential equation of the wave equation in terms of model parameters. The resulting wave equation and virtual sources from the recipr...
Sensitivity Study of Hydrodynamic Parameters During Numerical Simulations of Tsunami Inundation
Ozer, Ceren; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01)
This paper describes the analysis of a parameter, "hydrodynamic demand,'' which can be used to represent the potential for tsunami drag force related damage to structures along coastlines. It is derived from the ratio of drag force to hydrostatic force caused by a tsunami on the structure. It varies according to the instantaneous values of the current velocities and flow depths during a tsunami inundation. To examine the effects of a tsunami in the present study, the analyses were performed using the tsunam...
Ground Motion Characterization for Vertical Ground Motions in Turkey—Part 1: V/H Ratio Ground Motion Models
Alipour, N.A.; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH; Gülerce, Zeynep (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01)
Two approaches are used to develop the vertical design spectra in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): (i) performing PSHA for the vertical component using vertical ground motion models (GMMs), and (ii) utilizing the V/H ratio GMMs to scale the horizontal spectrum during or after the hazard calculations for the horizontal component. This study intends to develop a new framework for building a vertical ground motion logic tree that combines both vertical and V/H ratio GMMs in the PSHA analysis. Fo...
Evaluation of Site Response with Alternative Methods: A Case Study for Engineering Implications
Sisman, Fatma Nurten; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Asten, Michael (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)
In this paper, efficiency of alternative geophysical techniques for site response is evaluated in two sedimentary basins on the North Anatolian Fault Zone. For this purpose, fundamental frequencies of soils and corresponding amplitudes obtained from empirical horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio curves from microtremors, weak motions and strong motions are compared with results from one-dimensional theoretical transfer functions. Theoretical transfer functions are computed using S-wave velocity profiles de...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation Within the City of Düzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation
Ozmen, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan, Aysegul (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01)
In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, simulated ground motions are required for both seismic hazard and engineering analyses. One important task is evaluating the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of a past major earthquake in Düzce (Turkey). The hybrid ground motion simulation framework presented herein is a combi...
