Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to background seismic activity models
Yilmaz, N.; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2011-08-04)
In the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, the past earthquake records that can not be associated with any one of the specific faults are treated as background seismic activity. Contribution of background seismic activity to seismic hazard is generally calculated by using two different models, namely: background area source with uniform seismicity and spatially smoothed seismicity model. In this study, two case studies are carried out for a large (a country) and a small region (a province) in order to in...
Spatial Variability In Seepage Flow Through Earth-Fill Dams
Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin (2013-10-10)
Dams made of earth materials show highly variable hydraulic properties because of uncertain nature of the earthen embankment. Uncertain nature of soil properties may result in variations in flow fields in embankment dams. Determination of seepage characteristics of a dam is crucial since it directly affects the stability. Underestimation of the seepage may lead to catastrophic failures of dams. In this paper, uncertainty in the hydraulic conductivity of the embankment is evaluated through Monte Carlo simula...

Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different background seismic activity and temporal earthquake occurrence models
Yilmaz, Nazan; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01)
Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different models with respect to background seismic activity and earthquake occurrence in time is investigated. For the contribution of background seismic activity to seismic hazard, background area source with uniform seismicity and spatially smoothed seismicity models are taken into consideration. For the contribution of faults, through characteristic earthquakes, both the memoryless Poisson and the time dependent renewal models are utilized. A case study, ...
Spatial impacts of globalization
Işık, Banu Işıl; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2010)
Today, the world is in a continuous process of change, which is conceptualized as globalization. Although the concept is generally related to economy, it affects aspects of human life; i.e. social, cultural, political and so on. The impact of globalization on urban areas requires a special emphasis. Economic development has played a significant role in restructuring the city. Particularly following the 1970s, with the changes in the international economic system, the world has started to transform into a gl...
