In areas where inadequate number of regional real ground motion records are available, seismic vulnerability of structural systems can be assessed alternatively using simulated records generated for potential scenario events at the region of interest. However, the main question of interest herein is the accuracy of these simulated records. Thus, this study aims to obtain and compare alternative seismic ground motion intensity measures for the selected sets of real and simulated ground motion records. For this purpose, simulated records corresponding to two alternative study areas; Erzincan and Duzce which are located in the Eastern and Western parts of Turkey, are utilized. For ground motion simulations at the selected study areas, the stochastic finite-fault technique is used. On the other hand, real records are chosen from the available global databases corresponding to previous earthquakes with the intention of obtaining a ground motion dataset regionally compatible for each study area. In the selection process, parameters such as the fault mechanism, earthquake magnitude, soil condition, source to site distance are taken into account. After formation of the real and simulated record sets for the selected regions, Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Peak Ground Velocity (PGV), Housner Intensity (HI), Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV), Velocity Spectrum Intensity (VSI), Arias Intensity (Ia), a modified version of Acceleration Spectrum Intensity (ASI*), and Significant Duration (td) are calculated for each record as selected ground motion intensity measures. To assess the degree of compatibility between the intensity parameters of the real and simulated records, statistical tests are performed and comparisons are graphically displayed as well. Results reveal that in most cases there is consistency among the ground motion intensities calculated for the selected real and simulated record datasets.

Comparison of Real and Simulated Records Through Selected Seismic Intensity Measures Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (null; 2017-12-11) Recent studies have shown that simulated ground motions could be utilized to determine the seismic vulnerability of structures where there are limited number of real ground motion records compatible with seismological characteristics of the area of interest. Among various simulation techniques, stochastic finite-fault methodology is believed to practically simulate realistic broadband records including the frequencies which affect the built environment. This study aims to compare the main characteristics of...
Evaluation and selection of ground motion intensity measures for nonlinear seismic demand and fragility analysis of MDOF systems Kadaş, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-5-21) In performance-based seismic design methodology, intensity measures are thought to be key parameters of ground motion records that relate the seismic hazard levels with the structural response or damage. Therefore, it is important to identify efficient intensity measures that are capable of reducing the variability in seismic demand predictions. There exist several simple-to-advanced scalar and vector ground motion intensity measures; however, the literature is limited in the number of comparative studies i...
Use of seismic intensity measures for comparison of real and simulated records Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (null; 2019-09-25) Simulated ground motion records have become major alternatives to real ground motion records for all purposes of earthquake engineering, particularly in areas with limited number of records. Alternative ground motion simulation methods are often used with different computational cost and accuracy. In this study, the fundamental seismological properties of simulated ground motion records are compared with those of actual motions. Simulations are performed using the stochastic finite-fault ground motion simul...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation within the City of Duzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozlu, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2017-10-11) Simulated ground motions have been used for both hazard and engineering analyses recently, particularly in areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks. From an engineering point of view, one important task is to evaluate the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of potential events in Duzce (Turkey). The objective is to evaluate...
