Practical tools for ranking and selection of groundmotion prediction equations (GMPEs) for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and development of a regional GMPE Kale, Özkan; Akkar, Sinan; Danciu, Laurentiu; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) This study starts summarizing the progresses in ground-motion databases and ground-motion models in pan-European region and consequent seismic hazard comparisons conducted for individual local and global predictive models. Then, the study presents the compilation of the Middle East region and Turkish ground-motion databases with principle seismological features to be mainly used in predictive model selection process in these regions. In the following step, using a high standard subset of the Middle East gro...
Numerical simulation of the Çınarcık dam failure on the Orhaneli River Bağ, Fırat; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) This thesis analyzes the probable outcome of the fictitious failure of a dam under a set of pre-defined scenarios, within the framework of a case study, the case subject being the Cinarcik Dam located within Bursa Province of Turkey. The failure of the dam is not analyzed neither structural nor hydraulic-wise but is assumed to be triggered when certain critical criteria are exceeded. Hence, the analyses focus on the aftermath of the failure and strive to anticipate the level of inundation downstream of the ...
Use of simulated strong ground motion records in earthquake engineering applications Karimzadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) With the recent advances in scientific computing, ground motion simulations have become more common. However, use of simulated motions for earthquake engineering purposes is still not well investigated. In this thesis, the efficiency of records simulated with the stochastic finite-fault technique in seismic demand estimation is studied in two different earthquake engineering applications. First, vulnerability assessment in a selected region, Erzincan (Turkey) is performed with simple single-degree-of-freedo...
Investigation of Numerical Schemes and Their Effects on Impact Pressures in Numerical Modelling Çandır, Semih Batuhan; Baykal, Cüneyt; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2-08) Impact pressure is generated with the high-speed fluid impact into a stationary solid or vice versa. Impact pressure is a phenomenon that has been studied extensively in ship hydrodynamics, but the exact determination of forces acting on a coastal structure in a numerical environment has been a challenge for coastal engineers for a long time. Due to their complex structure of a two-phase flow involving both water and air, it is very time-consuming to properly model and solve this type of problem. This study...
Investigation of seismic isolation efficiency for building structures Özdemir, Seda; Yakut, Ahmet; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Earthquake Studies (2016) The main goal of this study is to assess the efﬁcacy of seismic isolation for building type of structures with different structural systems, namely, dual systems and moment frame systems having also different number of ﬂoors. Speciﬁc to this study, the main parameters employed for efﬁcacy assessment will be the interstorey drift ratio and ﬂoor acceleration since both structural and non-structural damage to be occured in a system are directly related to these two parameters. To assess the variations in inter...
