Loss estimation studies exercised for seismically active regions generally require fragility analyses to be performed which necessitate the use of ground motion records. These records could be ‘real’, i.e. recorded, acceleration time series or for regions with sparse ground motion data, ‘synthetic’ records consistent with the regional seismicity and produced using alternative simulation techniques. This study mainly concentrates on seismic damage estimation of Erzincan, which is a city on the eastern part of Turkey located in the conjunction of three active faults as right lateral North Anatolian Fault, left lateral North East Anatolian Fault and left lateral Ovacik fault, considering both regional seismicity and local building information. For this purpose, to generate a set of scenario earthquakes by using regional seismicity parameters of Erzincan, Stochastic Finite Fault Methodology has been followed as the simulation technique. Then, existing building stock are classified into specified groups that are represented with equivalent single-degree-of-freedom systems where the inelastic dynamic structural characteristics of the models are investigated. The response statistics of the structures are evaluated through non-linear time history analysis. Finally, the suitability of the methodology is evaluated by comparing the estimated damage levels with the observed ones during the 1992 Erzincan earthquake. The results seem to have a reasonable match in between.

Seismic damage assessment using synthetic ground motions: a case study for Erzincan Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Yakut, Ahmet (2015-10-14) Estimation of seismic losses is a fundamental step for risk mitigation decision-making in urban regions. As the study region, Erzincan, a city on the eastern part of Turkey is selected which is located in the conjunction of three active faults as right lateral North Anatolian Fault, left lateral North East Anatolian Fault and left lateral Ovacik fault. Erzincan city center is in a pull-apart basin underlain by soft sediments that has experienced devastating earthquakes such as the 27 December 1939 (Ms8.0) ...
Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges as a Function of Foundation Soil Stiffness Dicleli, Murat (2012-09-24) In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span IB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil-structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the IB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Seismic energy dissipation in deteriorating systems through low-cycle fatigue Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2004-01-01) Energy dissipation characteristics of structural members which exhibit both strength and stiffness deterioration under imposed displacement reversals are investigated. In the experimental part, 17 reinforced concrete beam specimens were tested under constant and variable amplitude inelastic displacement cycles. The constant-amplitude tests were employed to determine the low-cycle fatigue behaviour of specimens where the imposed displacement amplitude was the major variable. A two-parameter fatigue model was...
Seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames with and without viscous fluid dampers as a function of ground motion and damper characteristics Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01) This study is aimed at comparing the seismic performance of steel chevron braced frames (CBFs) with and without viscous fluid dampers (VFDs) as a function of the intensity and frequency characteristics of the ground motion and VFD parameters. For this purpose, comparative nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses of single and multiple story CBFs with and without VFDs are conducted using ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled to represent small, moderate and large intensity earthquakes. A...
Assessment of synthetic ground motion records obtained from alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-storey frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02) Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
