The near-field and high seismicity of the area makes the determination of the bedrock geometry more complex and pioneers the studies of site response analysis in account for a seismic hazard assessment. Without a good model of basin structure, any powerful calculation method would lack a well-developed basin response. The study has been conducted in the Gölyaka basin that uniquely falls within the bifurcated near-field section of the North Anatolian Fault System. The surface rupture of the 1999 Earthquakes of Kocaeli (Mw=7.4) and Düzce (Mw=7.2) bound this tectonically formed basin, respectively. In this study, a 3-D basin structure model has been developed based on the geophysical and geotechnical data along with the geology of the area. In particular, a combination of active and passive surface wave method measurements at 29 locations, the vertical electrical sounding at 14 locations, the geotechnical boring data at about 30 locations and one deep boring data have been used to develop the structure of the sediment basin. The high-resolution shear wave velocity profile has been obtained through surface wave methods by using active Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) and passive Microtremor Array Method (MAM), respectively. The Schlumberger vertical electrical sounding (VES) method has been applied to evaluate the bedrock of the basin depth. Finally, geotechnical and deep boring data have also been used along with the basin geology to provide a cross-reference for the Vs profile and VES model. The result of this comprehensive survey led to a well-developed 3-D geometry model of the Gölyaka basin. Based on the dimensional shear wave velocity profiles obtained, a bedrock level with an average velocity of 1100 m/s was accepted as the bedrock depth limit in the region. The implemented deep and geotechnical boring data along with the seismic results suggested that the Gölyaka basin is composed mostly of clay and sand sedimentary layers with a large thickness. It was concluded that the thicknesses of the alluvial sediments within the Gölyaka basin was estimated to be about 250 m, with irregular basin geometry due to over-step faulting near the basin boundary. Consequently, the local site conditions that are generated display spatial variations in the near field area depending on the dimensional basin geometry and topographic effects. The constructed model can successfully be used for site effects and site response studies of the Gölyaka region.

DEVELOPMENT OF A 3-D TOPOGRAPHICAL BASIN STRUCTURE BASED ON SEISMIC AND GEOTECHNICAL DATA: CASE STUDY AT A HIGH SEISMICTY AREA OF GÖLYAKA, DÜZCE, TURKEY
Yousefıbavıl, Karim; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (2018-06-21)
The near-fault situation and high seismicity of an area makes the determination of the bedrock geometry more complex, and in return, it makes this area much more critical and important for the studies of site response analysis in account of seismic hazard assessment. Without a good model of topography and basin structure, any powerful calculation method would be in lack of a well-developed basin response. The study has been conducted in the Gölyaka basin that uniquely falls within the bifurcated section of ...
An integrated seismic hazard framework for liquefaction triggering assessment of earthfill dams' foundation soils
Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Within the confines of this study, seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential of a dam foundation is assessed within an integrated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. More specifically, the scheme presented hereby directly integrates effective stress-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment with seismic hazard analysis framework, supported by an illustrative case. The proposed methodology successively, i) processes the discrete stages of probabilistic seismic hazard workflow ...
Evaluation of site effects based on the 1999 Kocaeli and Düzce earthquake events and seismic microzonation of Gölyaka, Düzce, Turkey
YOUSEFI BAVIL, KARIM; Akgün, Haluk; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-2)
The high seismicity study area situated in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, makes the determination of the bedrock geometry more complex, and hence, it makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid a seismic hazard assessment. This study developed a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically controlled and formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sediments of the Gölyaka region that uniquely falls within the bifurcated near-field fault section of the North A...
Local site characterization and seismic zonation study by utilizing active and passive surface wave methods: A case study for the northern side of Ankara, Turkey
Eker, Arif Mert; Akgün, Haluk; Kockar, Mustafa Kerem (2012-11-29)
This study encompasses dynamic soil characterization and site classification zonation mapping of the Plio-Quaternary and especially Quaternary alluvial sediments based on the current seismic codes. The study area is located in the Cubuk district and its surrounding area that is situated towards the north of Ankara, the capital of Turkey. The project site is located in a region which has the potential of being seriously affected by probable seismic events occurring along the Cubuk Fault Zone. The Cubuk Fault...
An Investigation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for the Nonlinear Seismic Analyses of Concrete Gravity Dams
Soysal, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (2019-07-03)
Seismic assessment of gravity dams is generally carried out using time history analyses. Scaling of the motions is commonly used; however, in contrast to buildings, the performance of scaling procedures at predicting the mean and reducing the dispersion in engineering demand parameters (EDPs) is not known. The main goal of this study is to assess the performance of different scaling procedures in predicting seismic demands on dams. The performance regarding the prediction of the damage and the required numb...
