Risk assessment and pricing of natural hazards earthquake case
Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (null; 2015-10-16)
The potential impacts of natural hazards are enormous. In such catastrophes the economies and human lives are exposed to unpredictable losses. Probabilistic modeling of such hazards require long term historical information which enables researchers to determine the potential risk for certain periods. However, even though its increasing trend in the frequency of such events, the factors influencing the magnitude of the losses are diverse and many. Earthquakes are the most severe one as its occurrence and sev...
Risk Analysis as a Support for Conservation Decision-Making Process: The Case of Archaeological Sites in Turkey
Yıldırım Esen, Sibel; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz (2013-01-18)
Effective preservation requires a thorough understanding of factors that might result in thedestruction of irreplaceable historical evidence. Hence, risk analysis can be a powerful toolfor cultural heritage management. Having exceedingly rich cultural assets. Turkey possessestraces of various Anatolian civilizations. However, this heritage is threatened with naturaldisasters including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and rock falls. This paper aims to presentan analysis of risks threatening archaeological s...

The 2011 Tohoku event showed the massive destruction potential of tsunamis. The Euro-Japan "Risk assessment and design of prevention structures for enhanced tsunami disaster resilience (RAPSODI)" project aimed at using data from the event to evaluate tsunami mitigation strategies and to validate a framework for a quantitative tsunami mortality risk analysis. Coastal structures and mitigation strategies against tsunamis in Europe and Japan are compared. Failure mechanisms of coastal protection structures exp...
Risk assessment by fault tree analysis of roof and rib fall accidents in an underground hard coal mine
Direk, Cansu; Demirel, Nuray; Department of Mining Engineering (2015)
Mining sector has a high rate of injury and fatality among other sectors. Roof and rib fall in underground mines is one of the most commonly encountered accident causes that results in injuries, permanent disabilities, even fatalities. Implementing effective prevention measures based on the quantitative risk assessment is an emerging issue for underground coal mines in Turkey. The main objective of this study is to determine the root causes of roof and rib fall accidents in underground coal mines by impleme...
