The standard penetration test (SPT) has been used to assess the triggering of seismic soil liquefaction since the early 1970s. The currently available liquefaction case history database is updated and extended with the case histories from recent earthquake events. An updated database, which consists of 405 case histories from several recent major earthquake events (e.g., 1999 Chi-Chi, 2008 Achaia-Ilia, 2010 El-Mayor, 2011 Van, 2011 Tohoku, 2011 Christchurch, 2012 Emilia-Romagna, 2016 Kaikoura, 2018 Jia Sian, etc.) was compiled. This new SPT-based field case history database consists of (1) 405 case histories from (2) 33 new earthquake events, (3) with different faulting mechanisms including strike-slip, normal, reverse, and subduction earthquake events, and introduced (4) new event parameters (e.g., Rrup, Rjb, ztor, etc.), (5) gravelly and silty critical layers with the introduction of new correction terms (e.g., gravel correction), (6) fully digitized borehole information, GPS coordinates, and comparative assessment of new screening criteria with the nearby CPT and Vs data, (7) site response and deconvolution analyses at strong ground motion liquefaction sites to estimate CSR, (8) new parameters related to ground motion and site information (e.g., event type, rupture distance, Vs30m, etc.), (9) a description of geological settings, and (10) new stress (CN), energy (CE), and rod length (CR) correction terms. Within the confines of this manuscript, this database compilation and processing details will be presented. The resulting database is to be used to develop new probability-based liquefaction triggering relationships.

Broadband Ground Motion Simulation within the City of Duzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozlu, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2017-10-11) Simulated ground motions have been used for both hazard and engineering analyses recently, particularly in areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks. From an engineering point of view, one important task is to evaluate the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of potential events in Duzce (Turkey). The objective is to evaluate...

Evaluation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for Concrete Gravity Dams SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (Elsevier BV; 2017-09-13) The seismic safety of dam structures is often evaluated using time history analyses conducted with a limited number of ground motions. The selection and scaling of the ground motions is usually the most effective factor determining the results of the safety assessment. The inherent variability in the ground motion as well as the difficulty of conducting the analyses for a large number of ground motions renders the selection as the most important factor in the analysis results. The guidelines for the nonline...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation Within the City of Düzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozmen, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan, Aysegul (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, simulated ground motions are required for both seismic hazard and engineering analyses. One important task is evaluating the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of a past major earthquake in Düzce (Turkey). The hybrid ground motion simulation framework presented herein is a combi...
Unified assessment of stress scaling factors for liquefaction engineering problems Çetin, Kemal Önder (2014-01-01) Most of the widely used seismic soil liquefaction triggering methods propose cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) values valid at a reference normal effective stress (σv,0) of one atmosphere, and a zero static shear stress (τst,0) state. Then a series of correction factors are applied to the CRR to account for the effects due to variations from the reference normal effective and static shear stresses (i.e., Kσ and Kα corrections). In the literature exists a number of stress correction factors used for seismic soil...
