Since the 1964 Niigata, Japan, earthquake, damages attributed to earthquake induced liquefaction phenomena have cost society hundreds of millions U.S. dollars. Most procedures developed so far predict the potential for earthquake induced liquefaction at the “point” or over the small area, where the soil strength is evaluated. This paper describes a technique to estimate the probability of earthquake induced liquefaction over arbitrary large areas. The proposed technique may be of special interest to both large corporation and insurance company risk management departments, which are looking at estimating earthquake damages over a large area. The area of interest is meshed forming a grid of individual cells, for which the probability of liquefaction is estimated. The probability of liquefaction for a given percentage of the total area is then computed as a system reliability problem.

Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami: Performance of Tsunami Countermeasures, Coastal Buildings, and Tsunami Evacuation in Japan Suppasri, Anawat; Shuto, Nobuo; Imamura, Fumihiko; Koshimura, Shunichi; Mas, Erick; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2013-06-01) In 2011, Japan was hit by a tsunami that was generated by the greatest earthquake in its history. The first tsunami warning was announced 3 min after the earthquake, as is normal, but failed to estimate the actual tsunami height. Most of the structural countermeasures were not designed for the huge tsunami that was generated by the magnitude M = 9.0 earthquake; as a result, many were destroyed and did not stop the tsunami. These structures included breakwaters, seawalls, water gates, and control forests. In...
The depth effect of earthquakes on tsunami heights in the Sea of Okhotsk Zaytsev, Andrey; Kostenko, Irina; Kurkin, Andrey; Pelinovsky, Efim; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2016-01-01) The earthquake of magnitude M-w = 8.3 that occurred on 24 May 2013 in the Sea of Okhotsk was the most powerful earthquake in the region. Fortunately, the generated tsunami was small because of the deep focal depth (609 km) and was only detected by the nearest Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoy records. However, the event highlighted the fact that any earthquakes with similar magnitudes at shallower focal depths would have caused considerable tsunamis. In order to evaluate the effect...
Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of Seismically Induced Landslide for Bakacak-Duzce Region Balal, Onur; Gülerce, Zeynep (2015-01-01) Earthquake induced slope instability is considered as one of the major sources of the earthquake hazards, especially in the near fault regions. Simplified tools as Newmark’s Sliding Block (NSB) analogy are commonly used to represent the slope stability during ground shaking since the outcome of this analogy is quantitative, larger NSB displacement values indicate higher seismic slope instability risk. Recently, empirical NSB displacement prediction models based on single or multiple ground motion intensity ...

Evaluation of the accuracy of equivalent linear analysis method for seismic isolated buildings Mutlu, Sezer; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2021-12-1) Earthquakes have been the leading cause of loss of lives and properties since the beginning of human history. After major earthquakes, we see that even the buildings constructed using modern engineering solutions suffer severe damage or even collapse. Seismic base isolation systems are used to minimize earthquake-induced damage. This thesis focuses on evaluating the accuracy of the equivalent linear analysis method in the analysis of seismic base-isolated buildings. In order to do that, certain buildings wi...
