This study mainly focuses on the determination of site effects for the Plio-Quaternary sediments of Gölyaka-Düzce, Turkey by characterizing local soil conditions. Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) analysis was performed to observe the effect and importance of local site conditions. The study area is located within the Eastern Marmara Region and uniquely falls within the bifurcated section of the North Anatolian Fault System (NAFS). This tectonic basin is bounded by the surface rupture of the 1999 Düzce and 1999 Kocaeli Earthquakes respectively from south and northwest. The local site conditions and dynamic sediment characteristics of the study area were evaluated by active and passive surface seismic surveys that were performed at 29 sites. By combining these, dispersion curves were obtained and high-resolution Vs profiles were successfully constructed. In the PSHA study, four different ground motion prediction equations were selected. Local site conditions and non-linear effects have a significant role in the damage pattern of the 1999 Kocaeli and Düzce Earthquakes and the PSHA analyses based on earthquake magnitude, proximity of the source and local site conditions as reflected from the results of the field surface wave measurements.

Evaluation of site effect within the tectonic basin in the northern side of Ankara Eker, Arif Mert; Kockar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (2015-06-18) This study mainly concentrates on the determination of site effects for the Plio-Quaternary and especially alluvial soils of the Cubuk district and its close vicinity in Ankara, Turkey. In the study area, particularly in the vicinity of the asymmetric graben that has formed due to the tectonic activities along the NE-SW trending normal faults, a microtremor survey was implemented to identify the local site response under a possible seismic event. The results were compared and correlated by using passive and...
Evaluation of Site Characterizations and Site Effects of the Ankara Basin Turkey Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (2007-06-28) The purpose of this study is to assess the in-situ site characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene to Pleistocene fluvial and Quaternary alluvial and terrace deposits located towards the west of Ankara. Based on a general engineering geological, geotechnical and seismic characterization of the site, site classification systems were assigned for seismic hazard evaluations. Then, short-period noise recordings of the microtremor measurements at the ground surface have been used...
Analysis of saltwater intrusion and investigations on prevention techniques in coastal aquifers Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Önder, Halil; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In this study the saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers is briefly described and the prevention techniques are discussed. By using two computer models SWI and SHARP, the movement of freshwater and saltwater is analyzed on hypothetical cases and on one real aquifer in Marmaris in the coast of Mediterranean Region. Artificial recharge and subsurface barrier techniques are applied to hypothetical cases as means of controling the saltwater intrusion. The performance of strip recharge and subsurface barrier in...
Comparison of Source Regions Affecting SO42- and NO3- Concentrations at the Eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea Atmospheres Dogan, G.; GÜLLÜ, GÜLEN; Karakas, D.; Tuncel, G. (Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2010-01-01) In this study, source regions of atmospheric sulfate and nitrate in rural areas at the Black Sea and the Mediterranean coasts of Turkey are compared. Stations on the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea are located at Amasra and Antalya regions, respectively. Source regions of SO42- and NO3- are determined by using potential source contribution function (PSCF). Statistical significance of source regions assigned by PSCF were assured using bootstrapping with 3000 iterations. Source regions affecting sulfate and n...
Comparison of phosphorus reduction alternatives in control of nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat (Bursa, Turkey): Partial versus full sediment dredging YENİLMEZ, Firdes; Aksoy, Ayşegül (2013-01-01) In this study, Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP) was used to simulate the impacts of various phosphorus (P) load reduction scenarios on nutrient concentrations in Lake Uluabat, a Ramsar site (a wetland of international importance designated under the Ramsar Convention), including sediment dredging options and source reduction. The model was calibrated for various water constituents including ortho-phosphate (PO43-) and nitrate (NO3-). The calibrated model was used as a management tool to pred...
