Evaluation of site conditions for the Ankara Basin of Turkey based on seismic site characterization of near-surface geologic materials Kockar, M. K.; Akgün, Haluk; Rathje, E. M. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Regional site conditions relevant for seismic hazard studies can be derived from various geologic, seismologic, and geotechnical sources. In this study, site conditions are derived for the Ankara Basin in Turkey by merging in-situ seismic measurements of dynamic properties, geologic information, and some geotechnical boring information. Field seismic refraction surveys were performed at 259 sites in the project area to classify and characterize Plio-Pleistocene fluvial deposits and Quaternary alluvial and t...
Evaluation of site effects based on the 1999 Kocaeli and Düzce earthquake events and seismic microzonation of Gölyaka, Düzce, Turkey YOUSEFI BAVIL, KARIM; Akgün, Haluk; Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Department of Geological Engineering (2022-2) The high seismicity study area situated in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, makes the determination of the bedrock geometry more complex, and hence, it makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid a seismic hazard assessment. This study developed a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically controlled and formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sediments of the Gölyaka region that uniquely falls within the bifurcated near-field fault section of the North A...
EVALUATION OF SEISMIC RESPONSE FACTORS FOR BRBFs USING FEMA P695 METHODOLOGY Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2016-06-01)
Evaluation of seismic response factors for BRBFs using FEMA P695 methodology Ozkihc, Yasin Onuraip; Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) This paper reports the details of a numerical study undertaken to evaluate seismic response factors for steel buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) using the FEMA P695 methodology. In the United States, BRBFs are designed according to Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341). Twenty-four archetypes were designed according to the U.S. specifications and their behavior was assessed by making use of non-simulated c...
Evaluation of Groundwater Storage changes at Konya Closed Basin Turkey using GRACE based and in situ measurements Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul (null; 2016-04-17) The Konya Closed Basin (KCB) located in Central Anatolia, Turkey, is the primary grain producer in Turkey. The lack of sufficient surface water resources and recently changing crop patterns have led to over-exploitation of groundwater resources and resulted in significant drop in groundwater levels. For this reason monitoring of the groundwater storage change in this region is critical to understand the potential of the current water resources and to devise effective water management strategies to avoid fur...
