Simulated ground motion records have recently become major alternatives to real records. In this study, differences between simulated and real record sets are evaluated in terms of alternative ground motion intensity measures. As case studies, two regions in Turkey (Erzincan and Duzce) are considered. A large set of simulated records involving a wide range of magnitudes, source-to-site distances, and site properties is prepared. The fundamental seismological properties of stochastically-simulated records are compared with those of actual motions. A real ground motion dataset for each region with consistent source, distance, and site properties is formed. Alternative intensity parameters are computed for real and simulated sets and evaluated through statistical analyses involving Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Varying patterns are observed for different levels of intensity parameters. Correlations of intensity measures with maximum inelastic displacements obtained from single-degree-of-freedom models are investigated. Better correlations are observed for simulated data emphasizing significance of region-specific ground motions.

Use of seismic intensity measures for comparison of real and simulated records Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (null; 2019-09-25) Simulated ground motion records have become major alternatives to real ground motion records for all purposes of earthquake engineering, particularly in areas with limited number of records. Alternative ground motion simulation methods are often used with different computational cost and accuracy. In this study, the fundamental seismological properties of simulated ground motion records are compared with those of actual motions. Simulations are performed using the stochastic finite-fault ground motion simul...
COMPARISONS OF ALTERNATIVE SEISMIC INTENSITY PARAMETERS FOR SELECTED SETS OF REAL AND SIMULATED GROUND MOTION RECORDS Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2018-09-02) In areas where inadequate number of regional real ground motion records are available, seismic vulnerability of structural systems can be assessed alternatively using simulated records generated for potential scenario events at the region of interest. However, the main question of interest herein is the accuracy of these simulated records. Thus, this study aims to obtain and compare alternative seismic ground motion intensity measures for the selected sets of real and simulated ground motion records. For th...
Comparison of Real and Simulated Records Through Selected Seismic Intensity Measures Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (null; 2017-12-11) Recent studies have shown that simulated ground motions could be utilized to determine the seismic vulnerability of structures where there are limited number of real ground motion records compatible with seismological characteristics of the area of interest. Among various simulation techniques, stochastic finite-fault methodology is believed to practically simulate realistic broadband records including the frequencies which affect the built environment. This study aims to compare the main characteristics of...
Prediction of Affective States through Non-invasive Thermal Camera and EMG Recordings Gökçay, Didem; Baltaci, Serdar; Karahan, Cagri; Turkay, Kemal Dogus (2011-10-12) We propose utilization of thermal camera recordings along with simultaneous EMG recordings to monitor the dynamically changing affective state of a human. Affective state is depicted along the valence and arousal dimensions, such that readings from EMG are mapped onto the valence axis and readings from the thermal camera are mapped onto the arousal axis. The combined system increases the accuracy in prediction of affective states due to a larger palette of extracted features.
Use of Alternative Site Amplification Models in Simulations and Uncertainty Analysis Muratoğlu, Gamze; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh (null; 2020-12-16) Ground motion simulations are used for earthquake engineering purposes as alternative to real records. The accuracy of the simulations is evaluated using misfit functions in terms of seismological and structural parameters computed for real and observed ground motions. Among all input parameters used in the simulations, site amplification factors carry significant uncertainty. Alternative approaches to estimate site amplifications include generic site amplifications based on quarter-wave-length technique, e...
