A challenging task in earthquake engineering is investigation of engineering demand parameters under regional records of large earthquakes due to inherently low frequency of these events. Use of simulated records in such cases is a recent alternative. Ground motion simulations were traditionally performed to model physical processes in earthquake occurrences. Nowadays, simulations are also used for engineering purposes. However, detailed assessment of simulated records against real data including their effect on structural response is necessary. The aim herein is to explore how alternative simulation methods differ in terms of engineering demand parameters for multi-degree-of-freedom models and to find out their efficiency in design and assessment of base isolated structures. For this purpose, bare and base-isolated models of a 6-story steel moment-resisting frame are considered. Force-based, displacement-based and energy-based demands are evaluated due to real and simulated records of 2009 L ' Aquila (Italy) event (Mw = 6.3). Ground motion simulation approaches include stochastic finite-fault method and hybrid integral-composite techniques. Analyses show that when seismological misfits between the real and simulated records are smaller, closer matches between their engineering demand parameters are observed. Finally, numerical results reveal that simulated motions validated against real data provide alternative sets particularly for regions with sparse observed records.

Seismic fragilities for non-ductile reinforced concrete frames - Role of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties Çelik, Ozan Cem (2010-01-01) Seismic fragilities are essential to earthquake loss estimation and performance-based earthquake engineering in regions of high seismicity. Construction practices for frames in regions of moderate seismicity are quite different, and such frames have received less attention in the literature. Fragilities for performance levels identified in recent seismic regulations are developed herein for reinforced concrete frames designed for gravity load in low-seismic regions using probabilistic non-linear finite elem...
FINITE ELEMENT MODEL UPDATING OF BRIDGES WITH MOBILE AND SMART TECHNOLOGIES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE-RELATED DECISION MAKING Ramadan, Wasim; Orang, Ali; Ozer, Ekin; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2021-7-19) Understanding the mechanical behavior of civil infrastructure under earthquakes has always been a fundamental concern in civil and structural engineering. Unlike many other disciplines, experimental modeling of civil infrastructure is cumbersome because of scale size, time constraints, and financial limitations. For these reasons, primary efforts on structural dynamics deal with theoretical models built on finite element (FE) method and structural health monitoring (SHM) systems with advanced sensor network...
Information requirements for earthquake damage assessment of structural walls Anil, Engin Burak; Akinci, Burcu; Garrett, James H.; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2016-01-01) The engineering analysis for determining the remaining seismic capacity of buildings following earthquakes requires performing structural calculations, observations of the actual damage, and applying extensive engineering judgment. Additionally, the analysis should often be performed under stringent time requirements. This study identifies the information requirements for representing the damage information and performing the visual damage assessment of structural walls. The damage descriptions for seven co...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01) This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...
Prediction of input energy spectrum: attenuation models and velocity spectrum scaling Alici, F. S.; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2016-10-25) Recent improvements in performance-based earthquake engineering require realistic description of seismic demands and accurate estimation of supplied capacities in terms of both forces and deformations. Energy based approaches have a significant advantage in performance assessment because excitation and response durations, accordingly energy absorption and dissipation characteristics, are directly considered whereas force and displacement-based procedures are based only on the maximum response parameters. En...
