Seismic soil liquefaction has gained significance following the 1964 Niigata and Alaska Earthquakes. The topic has become a major research stream in geotechnical earthquake engineering field. A number of investigators (e.g.: Seed et. al. (1984), Liao et. al. (1988, 1998), Toprak et. al. (1999), Cetin et. al. (2004) and Idriss and Boulanger (2004, 2008, 2012)) introduced deterministic and probabilistic liquefaction triggering assessment methodologies. The scope of this study is to develop an SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationship on the basis of updated (2016) liquefaction triggering case history. For this purpose, Cetin et. al. (2004) database is updated and extended with the current state of knowledge. In the final database, there exist 210 case histories as compared to 200 case histories from Cetin et. al. (2004). Some changes in updated (2016) database as compared to (2004) version are applicable to every case history, for example more robust re-execution of rd and soil unit weights. On the other hand, some modifications are case history specific. Finally, on the basis of maximum likelihood theorem probabilistic CRR boundary curves are developed for the (2016) database. Within the scope of this study, the assessment methodology of the (2016) database and the resulting CRR curves will be presented.

SPT-based probabilistic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering Ilgaç, Makbule; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Kayen, Robert Edward; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-6-09) The in-situ tests are proven to be a reliable approach to assessing the resistance against seismic soil liquefaction triggering. The scope of this research is to enrich previous SPT-based databases with new case histories from events that occurred in the last 25 years and employ an updated processing perspective with a new set of parameters and correction terms. The new SPT-based liquefaction triggering field case history database is based upon a large field case history from seismic events between 1964 and...
A Comparative assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationships Ilgaç, Makbule; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Starting with 1964 Niigata and Alaska Earthquakes, seismic soil liquefaction behavior has become a major research stream in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Since then, a number of investigators (e.g.: Seed et. al. (1984), Liao et. al. (1988, 1998), Toprak et. al. (1999), Cetin et. al. (2004) and Idriss and Boulanger (2004, 2008, 2012)) introduced deterministic and probabilistic liquefaction triggering assessment methodologies.

Seismic Intensity Maps for the Eastern Part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (Turkey) Based on Recorded and Simulated Ground-Motion Data Askan, Aysegul; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Bilal, Mustafa (2017-01-01) Seismic intensity maps are employed globally in the aftermaths of earthquakes for rapid response purposes. These maps involve correlations between intensity and peak ground-motion values. In this study, we focus on eastern sections of the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ). The eastern segments of the NAFZ are less investigated and have sparse seismic networks compared with western ones. In particular, we study Erzincan, which is a small city in eastern Turkey, located in the conjunction of three active faul...
Dynamic response of a flexible rectangular underground structure in sand: centrifuge modeling ÜLGEN, DENİZ; SAĞLAM, SELMAN; Özkan, M. Yener (2015-09-01) Major earthquakes such as Kobe (1995), Kocaeli (1999) and Chi-Chi (Taiwan) have shown that underground structures have suffered significant damage due to dynamic loading. Therefore, recently, much priority has been given to seismic safety of underground structures located in earthquake-prone regions. There is, however, not much experimental research on the dynamic response of buried structures. This research aims to better understand the dynamic behavior of relatively flexible rectangular underground struct...
Geotechnical reconnaissance findings of the October 30 2020, Mw7.0 Samos Island (Aegean Sea) earthquake Ziotopoulou, Katerina; et. al. (2022-11-01) On October 30, 2020 14:51 (UTC), a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.0 (USGS, EMSC) earthquake occurred in the Aegean Sea north of the island of Samos, Greece. Turkish and Hellenic geotechnical reconnaissance teams were deployed immediately after the event and their findings are documented herein. The predominantly observed failure mechanism was that of earthquake-induced liquefaction and its associated impacts. Such failures are presented and discussed together with a preliminary assessment of the performance of ...
