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 sufficient data to build empirical models, hybrid models become necessary. Georgia, despite being located in a region with moderate seismic activity, does not have sufficient strong ground motion data to build empirical ground motion models. In this study, we have applied the host-to-target method to two regions in Georgia with different source mechanisms: Javaxeti and Racha regions. According to the tectonic regime of the target areas, two different regions are been chosen as host regions. One of them is the North Anatolian Fault zone in Turkey with mostly strike-slip stress regime and the other is Tabas in Iran with mostly reverse mechanism. We performed stochastic finite-fault simulations in both host and target areas and employed the hybrid-empirical method of Campbell (2003). An initial hybrid empirical ground motion model is developed for PGA and SA at selected periods for Georgia. This model could be employed in various applications where use of ground motion prediction equations is required. An application of these coefficients for ground motion models to be used in regional PSHA in Georgia is now in progress. Potential future research includes the test and use of such hybrid-empirical models for a variety of earthquake engineering purposes.

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...
Ground motion prediction equations based on simulated ground motions Gür, Kader; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Kale, Özkan; Department of Earthquake Studies (2018) Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) are one of the key elements in seismic hazard assessment to estimate ground motion intensity measures by basically taking into account source, path and site effects. Most of the existing predictive models are derived from databases compiled from real (or observed) ground motion data. However, in data-poor regions, a novel practice to develop new GMPEs is to use simulated or hybrid ground motion datasets for performing reliable seismic hazard analysis. Simulations o...
Ground Motion Characterization for Vertical Ground Motions in Turkey—Part 1: V/H Ratio Ground Motion Models Alipour, N.A.; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH; Gülerce, Zeynep (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) Two approaches are used to develop the vertical design spectra in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): (i) performing PSHA for the vertical component using vertical ground motion models (GMMs), and (ii) utilizing the V/H ratio GMMs to scale the horizontal spectrum during or after the hazard calculations for the horizontal component. This study intends to develop a new framework for building a vertical ground motion logic tree that combines both vertical and V/H ratio GMMs in the PSHA analysis. Fo...
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...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation Within the City of Düzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozmen, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan, Aysegul (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, simulated ground motions are required for both seismic hazard and engineering analyses. One important task is evaluating 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 a past major earthquake in Düzce (Turkey). The hybrid ground motion simulation framework presented herein is a combi...
