Vulnerability assessment of building stocks is one of the major concerns in earthquake prone areas such as Turkey. Recent earthquakes have shown that identification of seismic hazard, reliable estimation of seismic vulnerability, and proactive interventions are of prime importance in terms of seismic risk mitigation. The success of the seismic risk assessment relies on the accuracy of its components particularly on estimation of fragility of buildings. To achieve this goal, the earthquake loss models should reflect the local characteristics of building stocks in a realistic way. In this study, a statistical survey is carried out on the general structural properties of Turkish reinforced concrete (RC) building stock using the building inventories of Düzce city as well as Zeytinburnu, Küçükçekmece, and Bakırköy districts of İstanbul. The geometrical properties studied in the building databases are story height, floor plan dimensions, number of continuous frames, span lengths, and column dimension and orientation. This study presents the statistical results in terms of mean and standard deviation of examined geometrical properties.

An approach for seismic damage assessment of residential buildings / Demirci, Ceren; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) For developing countries in earthquake-prone regions, two main issues in seismic damage estimation are identification of seismic hazard in the region of interest and up-to-date information of the existing building stock. This study proposes an approach to handle these key issues and to obtain reliable measures for regional seismic damage estimation. The approach makes use of the basic structural information for different types of construction. This information can be readily available or may have been obtai...
An evaluation of seismic hazard and potential damage in Gaziantep, Turkey using site specific models for sources, velocity structure and building stock Karimzadeh, Shaghayegh; Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Yousefibavil, Karim; Akgün, Haluk; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Ciftci, Hacer; Pekcan, Onur (2022-03-01) Assessment of potential seismic risk and losses in urban environments is necessary for several purposes ranging from risk mitigation to city and regional planning. It is well known that loss estimation should be performed within an interdisciplinary setting involving earth sciences and engineering. Field experience from recent events worldwide shows that the spatial variability of seismic damage is due to the combined effects of earthquake source properties, local site conditions and structural characterist...
An assessment of the 3 February 2002 Cay (Turkey) earthquake (Mw=6.6): Modeling of ground motions and felt intensity distribution Can, Gizem; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2021-11-01) Estimation of earthquake ground motions is important for several purposes including seismic design, analysis, risk mitigation and disaster management. For regions with insufficient data, simulations become critical, particularly for earthquake engineering applications requiring full ground motion data. In this study, stochastic finite-fault simulation of the 3 February 2002 Cay event is presented at three available stations within epicentral distances less than 200 km. The simulations are initially validate...
A drift capacity prediction model for retrofitted reinforced concrete columns ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış (2022-03-01) Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings heavily relies on the deformation capacity predictions of members. Similarly, the prediction of the deformation capacity of retrofitted RC columns has the utmost importance for seismic retrofit design. In this paper, a new unified drift model is proposed in order to estimate the rotation capacity of RC columns retrofitted with concrete jacketing, steel jacketing and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping. In order to generate the model, an extensive ...
A screening procedure for seismic risk assessment in urban building stocks Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yakut, Ahmet (SAGE Publications, 2007-05-01) An effective step for seismic risk mitigation in large urban areas under high seismic risk is to identify the most vulnerable buildings that may sustain significant damage during a future earthquake. Once they are identified properly, existing seismic risks may be reduced either by retrofitting such buildings, or by replacing them with new buildings in view of a particular risk-mitigation planning strategy. A fast and simple seismic risk-assessment procedure for vulnerable urban building stocks is proposed ...
