Accurate estimation of structural response for a given target hazard level requires a suitable set of ground-motion records that represents a pre-defined scenario event. With the aim of assessing the seismic performance of structural systems, this study presents a ground motion selection and scaling methodology. Given a relatively larger ground-motion database, the method uses the differences between individual records and corresponding estimations of a ground-motion prediction equation in order to determine the optimum subset of recordings. This way, the procedure provides a group of modified records whose median elastic spectral ordinate matches with the target intensity level without excessively manipulating the inherent aleatory variability in the selected recordings. Considering the sensitivity of overall structural response to the nonlinear behavior, the procedure approximately estimates the median and dispersion of inelastic structural response. The case study suggests that, the methodology can be a useful tool for building performance assessment studies.

Evaluation of a recently proposed record selection and scaling procedure for low-rise to mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings and its use for probabilistic risk assessment studies Ay, Bekir Özer (2014-05-01) This paper evaluates a recent record selection and scaling procedure of the authors that can determine the probabilistic structural response of buildings behaving either in the elastic or post-elastic range. This feature marks a significant strength on the procedure as the probabilistic structural response distribution conveys important information on probability-based damage assessment. The paper presents case studies that show the utilization of the proposed record selection and scaling procedure as a too...
An Investigation on the Use of Simulated Records in Derivation of Fragility Curves for RC Buildings in Duzce Kadaş, Koray; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-10-11) Probabilistic assessment of seismic damage for an individual building or a building stock in terms of fragility curves generally requires utilization of ground motion records either seismologically consistent with the probable hazard for the area studied or chosen arbitrarily without considering the seismological characteristics, but covering a range of intensity levels. In both alternatives, the analyst should select several records to be able to perform the probabilistic studies accurately. This condition...
A procedure on ground motion selection and scaling for nonlinear response of simple structural systems Ay, Bekir Özer (2012-10-01) This study presents a ground-motion selection and scaling methodology that preserves the basic seismological features of the scaled records with reduced scatter in the nonlinear structural response. The methodology modifies each strong-motion recording with known fundamental seismological parameters using the estimations of ground-motion prediction equations for a given target hazard level. It provides robust estimations on target building response through scaled ground motions and calculates the dispersion...
Investigation of relationship between aggregate shape parameters and concrete strength using imaging techniques Özen, Murat; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In this study, relationships between aggregate shape parameters and compressive strength of concrete were investigated using digital image processing and analysis methods. The study was conducted based on three mix design parameters, gradation type, aggregate type and maximum aggregate size, at two levels. A total of 40 cubic concrete specimens were prepared at a constant water-cement ratio. After the compressive strength tests were performed, each specimen was cut into 4 equal pieces in order to obtain the...
Hybrid-Empirical Ground Motion Estimations for Georgia Tsereteli, Nino; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Hamzehloo, Hossein (2016-10-01) Ground motion prediction equations are essential for several purposes ranging from seismic design and analysis to probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. In seismically active regions without sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models, hybrid models become vital. Georgia does not have sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models. In this study, we have applied the host-totarget method in two regions in Georgia with different source mechanisms. According to the tect...
