Turkey is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in Europe. In the past, many destructive earthquakes occurred in Turkey, in which numerous historical structures were damaged seriously or even collapsed. In spite of the high seismic hazard in Turkey, unfortunately there exists no technical document regarding the seismic assessment and rehabilitation of historical structures. Considering this issue, efforts to prepare an advisory guideline document for architects and engineers regarding seismic risk assessment and strengthening of historical structures in Turkey were initiated. The guideline document under preparation is intended to follow the principles of the Venice Charter and the ICOMOS Guidelines. The guideline will be composed of different sections including the ways to collect data about the building, the selection of appropriate non-destructive or semi-destructive techniques, assessment of the existing building damage, the structural modeling strategies and types of interventions for strengthening. The guideline will also cover the emergency response after earthquakes and the short-term remedies.

Questioning 'sustainability' of forest lands allocated and used for tourism in Turkey Biter, Serdar; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009) Turkey is one of the leading tourism countries of the world. Tourism contributes to not only national economy but also regional development. Turkey has adhered to several international conventions regarding economic, socio-cultural and environmental sustainability. Nonetheless, since the onset of the 1980s, Tourism Encouragement Law’s main policies, along with the globalization and privatization, have developed mass tourism in Turkey, and led to continuous damage on the natural environment. Over the last th...
Assessment of Solvency II requirements for Turkish insurance market Höbek, Mehmet; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2016) Solvency II is the new capital regime being in force as of January 2016 in European Union (EU). It has brought profound changes to the previous one, namely Solvency I, by introducing new methods for the calculation of solvency capital requirement (SCR) of insurance and reinsurance companies. Besides the standard formula which is composed of sub-modules for the calculation of different risks, insurance companies are also allowed to use their partial or full internal models for the calculation of SCR. Since b...
Challenges of Safe Urban Speed Management in Developing Countries Türe Kibar, Funda; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2019-06-20) Turkey, as one of the middle-income countries, is facing with an increasing motorization in the last decades. This situation also causes a major traffic safety problem on Turkish roads, where 7000+ people lost their lives, and almost 300,000 people get injured annually. When considering factors causing traffic accidents, ‘speed’ is a complex phenomenon which needs to be examined with more attention and different dimensions. This becomes even more problematic in urban regions that face large migration and th...
Design and testing of an earthquake simulation system Süleyman, Büyükkoçak; Koç, Çağrı; Şeyma Nur, Çizmeli; Çağrı, Gürpınar; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (null; 2013-09-20) It is a well-known fact that Turkey is on a seismically active region. In order to kick-off structural dynamics research in TOBB Economy and Technology University which would focus on improving earthquake response of structures, an experimental earthquake simulation setup and a three floor building model is created as a senior year graduation project. There were two main parts of the study; the first part is the design and integration of components of an earthquake simulation system. The second part is the ...
