A damage estimation exercise has been carried out using the building stock inventory and population database of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and selected European earthquake loss estimation packages: KOERILOSS, SELENA, ESCENARIS, SIGE, and DBELA. The input ground-motions, common to all models, correspond to a "credible worst case scenario'' involving the rupture of the four segments of the Main Marmara Fault closest to Istanbul in a M-w 7.5 earthquake.

A comparative study on the actual and estimated seismic response of Kiralkizi Dam in Turkey Çetin, Kemal Önder; Batmaz, S; Karabiber, S (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-01) Kiralkizi Dam, a 120 in high earthfill dam located in Diyarbakir city, Turkey, was shaken by a moment magnitude, M-w = 4.6 earthquake at an epicentral distance of 8 km, on December 24, 2000, at 13:31 local time. The seismic response of the dam was assessed by using spectral ratios between (i) available crest and foundation records (C/F), (ii) horizontal and vertical components of the recorded motions (H/V), (iii) by performing 2 dimensional finite difference-based seismic response analyses (Flac-2D), and (i...
Development of earthquake lossmap for Europe Cagnan, Zehra; ŞEŞETYAN, KARİN; Zulfikar, Can; DEMİRCİOĞLU, MİNE BETÜL; Kariptas, Cagatay; Durukal, Eser; Erdik, Mustafa (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) For almost real-time estimation of the losses after a major earthquake in the Euro-Mediterranean region, the Joint Research Area-3 (JRA-3) component of the European Union (EU) Project "Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology -NERIES'' foresees (at several levels of sophistication):
An evaluation of the strong ground motion recorded during the May 1, 2003 Bingol Turkey, earthquake Akkar, S; Boore, DM; Gulkan, P (Informa UK Limited, 2005-03-01) An important record of ground motion from a M6.4 earthquake occurring on May 1, 2003, at epicentral and fault distances of about 12 and 9 km, respectively, was obtained at a station near the city of Bingol, Turkey. The maximum peak ground values of 0.55 g and 36 cm/s are among the largest ground-motion amplitudes recorded in Turkey. From simulations and comparisons with ground motions from other earthquakes of comparable magnitude, we conclude that the ground motion over a range of frequencies is unusually ...
Vulnerability of Turkish low-rise and mid-rise reinforced concrete frame structures Ay, Bekir Özer; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) In this study, seismic safety of low-rise and mid-rise structures, which constitute approximately 75% of the total building stock in Turkey, is investigated by generating fragility curves. The scope is 3, 5, 7, and 9-story reinforced concrete moment resisting frame structures. The uncertainties in material variability and the specific characteristics of construction practice in Turkey are taken into account in the formation of structural simulations. Two-dimensional analytical models are constructed accordi...
An approximate procedure for estimating the member demands in mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Tuncay, Kağan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Seismic assessment of mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings is important for urban seismic risk reduction. Nonlinear time history analysis is the state-of-the-art analysis tool for this purpose. However, the number of such buildings may reach to several tens of thousands in metropolitan cities of earthquake prone countries. This necessitates faster yet sufficiently accurate assessment methods to mitigate the seismic risk. In this study, a simple and efficient approach is developed and validated for the ass...
