This study investigates the link between probabilistic seismic hazard assessment and corresponding loss estimations by using different ground-motion logic-tree frameworks from reliable large scale seismic hazard projects as well as the logic-tree framework established in this study. The predictive models selected for these logic trees are expected to represent the center, body and range of ground-motion intensity measure estimates. Regarding with the hazard component of risk assessment, the ground motion intensities obtained by alternative logic-tree frameworks showed considerable dispersion. To scrutinize the effect of this dispersion on seismic risk and loss assessment, fragility curves derived for low and mid-rise reinforced concrete and masonry structures in İstanbul are used. The comparisons of loss estimations indicate the importance of the uncertainty in ground motion intensity calculations and the decision making process of hazard calculation for seismic risk and loss estimations studies.

Toward a ground-motion logic tree for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in Europe Delavaud, Elise; Cotton, Fabrice; Akkar, Dede Sinan; Scherbaum, Frank; Danciu, Laurentiu; Beauval, Celine; Drouet, Stephane; Douglas, John; Basili, Roberto; Sandikkaya, M. Abdullah; Segou, Margaret; Faccioli, Ezio; Theodoulidis, Nikos (2012-07-01) The Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) project, which began in June 2009, aims at establishing new standards for probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in the Euro-Mediterranean region. In this context, a logic tree for ground-motion prediction in Europe has been constructed. Ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) and weights have been determined so that the logic tree captures epistemic uncertainty in ground-motion prediction for six different tectonic regimes in Europe. Here we present th...
The effect of structural variability and local site conditions on building fragility functions Sisi, Aida Azari; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-04-01) In this study, the effect of local site conditions (site class and site amplifications) and structural variability are investigated on fragility functions of typical building structures. The study area is chosen as Eastern Turkey. The fragility functions are developed using site-specific uniform hazard spectrum (UHS). The site-specific UHS is obtained based on simulated ground motions. The implementation of ground motion simulation into seismic hazard assessment has the advantage of investigating detailed l...
Ground-motion characterization for the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in Turkey AKKAR, DEDE SİNAN; Kale, Ozkan; Yakut, Ahmet; Ceken, Ulubey (2018-08-01) This study describes the methodology implemented to establish the ground-motion logic-tree for national probabilistic seismic hazard map of Turkey for shallow active crustal regions. The presented procedure provides quantitative information to guide the hazard experts while establishing the logic tree to capture the epistemic uncertainty in ground-motion characterization. It uses non-data-driven and data-driven testing methods to identify and rank candidate ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) under a...
THE EFFECT OF HORIZONTAL IRREGULARITIES AND BASE ISOLATION CONFIGURATION ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF RC BUILDINGS Yazıcıoğlu, Eylem Bilge; Caner, Alp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Earthquake Studies (2022-2-22) This study aims to evaluate the effect of horizontal irregularities and base isolation configuration on the seismic response of reinforced concrete base-isolated buildings. A set of structural models with varying re-entrant corner geometric properties has been utilized to make evaluations with respect to square-symmetric ordinary form. In addition to this set, alternative models with non-uniform mass distributions in the plan have also been employed to expand the building set. Elastic response spectrum-base...
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...
