Abstract:

Abstract. Although satisfactory results have yet to be obtained in earthquake prediction, one of the most common indicators of an anomalous precursor is a change in groundwater level in existing wells. Further wells should thus be drilled in unconfined aquifers since these are more susceptible to seismic waves. The Eskisehir region lies in the transition zone between the Aegean extensional domain and the compressible northern Anatolian block. Limnigraphs, installed in 19 exploration wells in the Eskisehir region, recorded pre-seismic, co-seismic and post-seismic level changes during the earthquakes of 17 August Izmit (Mw= 7.4) and 12 November Duzce (Mw= 7.2) 1999 that occurred along the North Anatolian Fault Zone. The Izmit and Duzce earthquakes affected groundwater levels, especially in confined aquifers. The aquifer characteristics before and after the earthquakes were unchanged so the aquifer is elastic in its behaviour. Further detailed geo-mechanical investigation of the confined aquifer in the Eskisehir region may improve understanding of earthquake prediction.

Abstract:

Simulated ground motions have recently gained more attention in seismology and earthquake engineering. Since different characteristics of waveforms are expected to influence alternative structural response parameters, evaluation of simulations, for key components of seismological and engineering points of view is necessary. When seismological aspect is of concern, consideration of a representative set of ground motion parameters is imperative. Besides, to test the applicability of simulations in earthquake engineering, structural demand parameters should simultaneously cover a descriptive set. Herein, simulations are evaluated through comparison of seismological against engineering misfits, individually defined in terms of log-scale misfit and goodness-of-fit score. For numerical investigations, stochastically simulated records of three earthquakes are considered: The 1992 Erzincan-Turkey, 1999 Duzce-Turkey and 2009 L’Aquila-Italy events. For misfit evaluation, seismological parameters include amplitude, duration and frequency content, while engineering parameters contain spectral acceleration, velocity and seismic input energy. Overall, the same trend between both misfits is observed. All misfits for Erzincan and Duzce located on basins are larger than those corresponding to L’Aquila mostly placed on stiff sites. The engineering misfits, particularly in terms of input energy measures, are larger than seismological misfits. In summary, the proposed misfit evaluation methodology seems useful to evaluate simulations for engineering practice.

Abstract:

AbstractThe damage created by an earthquake can overwhelm local health services, and damage to clinics and hospitals can render them useless. After an earthquake, even undamaged medical facilities cannot be used for a period of time if there is a risk of aftershocks and collapse.In such a situation, there may be calls for international health teams – but what constitutes the optimal medical aid a few days after the event? Does a military field hospital fill the “gap” in the local healthcare system?On 12 November 1999, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Duzce, Turkey. All of the medical activities of the responding Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) mission team field hospital in Duzce, Turkey were recorded and evaluated. A total of 2,230 patient contacts occurred at the field hospital during the nine days it operated. Most of the patients who presented (90%) had non-traumatic medical, pediatric, or gynecological problems unrelated to the earthquake.The IDF hospital offered medical care provided by specialists, hospitalization, and surgical abilities, which Duzce's hospitals could not offer until two weeks after the earthquake. These results strengthen the importance of a multidisciplinary, versatile, field hospital as an aid to an earthquake-affected population during the first few weeks after an earthquake.

Abstract:

The increase in the wealth of information on the seismotectonic structure of the Marmara region after two devastating earthquakes (M7.6 Izmit and M7.2 Duzce events) in the year 1999 opened the way for the reassessment of the probabilistic seismic hazard in the light of new datasets. In this connection, the most recent findings and outputs of different national and international projects concerning seismicity and fault characterization in terms of geometric and kinematic properties are exploited in the present study to build an updated seismic hazard model. A revised fault segmentation model, alternative earthquake rupture models under a Poisson and renewal assumptions, as well as recently derived global and regional ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are put together in the present model to assess the seismic hazard in the region. Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) is conducted based on characteristic earthquake modelling for the fault segments capable of producing large earthquakes and smoothed seismicity modelling for the background smaller magnitude earthquake activity. The time-independent and time-dependent seismic hazard results in terms of spatial distributions of three ground-shaking intensity measures (peak ground acceleration, PGA, and 0.2 s and 1.0 s spectral accelerations (SA) on rock having 10% and 2% probabilities of exceedance in 50 years) as well as the corresponding hazard curves for selected cities are shown and compared with previous studies.

Abstract:

The 1999 Kocaeli and Duzce earthquakes in Turkey generated a moderate amount of strong ground motion data. This paper describes the shear-wave velocity profiles measured at a number of strong motion stations in Turkey using the spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves (SASW) method. The shear-wave velocity profiles from SASW testing compare well with deeper profiles developed by microtremor surface wave inversion, but SASW provides more shear-wave velocity resolution near the ground surface. The developed shear-wave velocity profiles are used to define site classifications for each station. For the Kocaeli earthquake, event-specific attenuation relationships are developed. These relationships show considerable amplification of peak ground acceleration and spectral acceleration (at a period of 0.3 s) at deep soil sites in the far field, but no amplification in the near-fault region. For spectral accelerations at longer spectral periods (1.0 and 2.0 s), amplification is indicated in both the near field and far field. Amplification factors derived from the Kocaeli earthquake strong motion data are generally larger than those used in current attenuation relationships and building codes. The short-period amplification factors derived from the regression decrease with increasing rock motion intensity (PGArock), and the derived long-period amplification factors increase with increasing PGArock. These trends are most likely due to soil nonlinearity. The increase in long-period amplification factors with PGArock is not taken into account in current building codes.

Abstract:

This paper presents a case study of the Bolu highway twin tunnels that experienced a wide range of damage during the 1999 Duzce earthquake in Turkey. Attention is focused on a particular section of the left tunnel that was still under construction when the earthquake struck and that experienced extensive damage during the seismic event. Static and dynamic plane-strain finite element (FE) analyses were undertaken to investigate the seismic tunnel response at two sections and to compare the results with the post-earthquake field observations. The predicted maximum total hoop stress during the earthquake exceeds the strength of shotcrete in the examined section. The occurrence of lining failure and the predicted failure mechanism compare very favourably with field observations. The results of the dynamic FE analyses are also compared with those obtained by simplified methodologies (i.e., two analytical elastic solutions and quasi-static elastoplastic FE analyses). For this example, the quasi-static racking analysis gave thrust and bending-moment distributions around the lining that differed significantly from those obtained from full dynamic analyses. However, the resulting hoop stress distributions were in reasonable agreement.

Abstract:

Monumental tombs reflect various social, cultural, architectural, religious, economic, and engineering features of a community. However, environmental weathering, natural disasters, poor maintenance, vandalism, and misuse unfortunately pose serious threats to these cultural assets. Historic monuments are often exposed to the highest risk due to their vulnerability. The Ottoman-style Nişancı Hamza Paşa tomb located in Karacaahmet Cemetery, Istanbul, the largest and oldest public cemetery in Turkey, is a case in point. The tomb consisting of six granite columns and a brick dome supported by six arches was constructed in 1605. Cracks, material loss, and decay as a result of adverse environmental effects and past earthquakes are evident. Therefore, this paper analyses the overall value of the tomb with respect to its historical, communal, evidential, and aesthetic aspects. Using the finite element approach and data on the tomb’s material properties, a structural analysis under the self-weight and a time history analysis based on the earthquake ground motion data recorded in Duzce, Turkey, in November 1999 were conducted to encourage the conservation of this tomb and similar cultural heritage assets all over the world. The damage observed in the structure is congruent with the analysis results.

Abstract:

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> By 2050, almost 66 per cent of the world’s population will live in urban areas. While the urban settlements provide better living opportunities for people, they are also tremendously exhausting natural resources. Thus, as one of the 17 sustainable development goals, “sustainable cities and communities” is promoted by the United Nations. Over the course of the last 70 years, Turkey has experienced one of the most significant urbanization experiences in the world. Recently, cities accommodate over 75 percent of the country’s population. Furthermore, they are prone to high disaster risks due to their dense population and construction in Turkey. Of note, the two perilous earthquakes in 1999 (Izmit &amp; Duzce), provided Turkey significant experiences. They gave rise to reviewing the entire disaster mitigation system. Nevertheless, the earthquake in the City of Van (24.10.2011) revealed some deficiencies in the process of implementing disaster mitigation measures. To remedy these deficiencies, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization (MoEU) prepared a new law on “Transformation of Areas under the Disaster Risks” (Law No. 6306). The law sets out principles and standards of disaster mitigation and process and procedures with respect to areas prone to disaster risks as well as buildings at risks in and out of disaster prone areas. In this paper, the aforementioned experience of Turkey will be reviewed in terms of sustainable cities and communities goal. Furthermore, the relevant implementations will be reviewed with a view to creating better solutions as well as decreasing undesired consequences such as compulsory displacement of people and degradation of urban environment.</p>

Abstract:

Abstract: In a highly populated country like India, problem of parking of the vehicles arises, this problem leaves no option for design of open ground storey buildings. Since there are no infill walls in ground storey, stiffness in the upper storey is much more than the ground storey. The columns in the ground storey are heavily stressed, therefore it is required that the ground storey columns must have sufficient strength and adequate ductility, the increased base shear is resisted entirely by the columns of ground storey only. These buildings are vulnerable due to the sudden lowering of stiffness and strength in the ground storey. This results in the attraction of more earthquake forces for the lower time periods, which also results in snapping of lateral ties in column, crushing of core concrete, buckling of longitudinal bars and finally shear failure in open ground storey columns due to lateral earthquake forces. Solution for this problem is to prevent the failure of open ground storey columns due to lateral earthquake forces by providing the lateral load resisting system. Many times, stiffness of walls is not considered while designing, this results in inaccurate designing of elements. An Open Ground +20 storied RC frame subjected to strong motion earthquakes viz. Duzce in Turkey (12/11/1999), Erzincan in Turkey (13/03/1992), Imperial valley at El-centro (19/05/1940), Landers (28/06/1992) and Nahanni in Canada (23/12/1985) creating soft storey effect at ground storey so it should be provided with lateral load resisting systems viz, Shear wall, steel bracing, lead rubber bearing base isolator with different configurations. Performance of equivalent diagonal strut provided to structure is compared with brick work modelled as actual brick work, equivalent diagonal struts, and considering only the mass of brick work. Time History Analysis is used in a RC framed building using ETABS Version18 and SAP2000 Version20 software in comparison with Response quantities Roof displacement, soft storey check, Base shear, overturning moment and storey drift. In this research, equivalent diagonal struts are provided as brick masonary, which shows accurate behavior of structure under strong ground motions as mass and stiffness both are considered during analysis. When Open ground storied structure is subjected to strong ground motions, stiffness at ground storey is drastically reduced. When structure is assigned with Lateral Load Resisting Systems, shear wall with configuration shear wall at ground storey and 1st storey, stiffness at ground storey is increased to 81% and 82% in X and Y direction respectively within permissible limits. Hence it can be concluded that when there is soft storey effect at open ground, structure becomes hazardous in presence of strong ground motions. When structure is subjected to strong ground motions, the vulnerability condition is high. Since we have performed non-linear dynamic time history analysis, more accurate results can be obtained as non-linear analysis considers vertical irregularities

Abstract:

Abstract. The Ismetpasa segment of the North Anatolian Fault (NAF) is a rare place where aseismic fault slip (creep) has been observed. Its creep behaviour has been monitored using different observation methods since the 1950s. The findings obtained from the studies until 1990s showed that the creep rate exponentially decreased before the major shocks in 1999, Golcuk (Mw = 7.4) and Duzce (Mw = 7.2). After these shocks, three GPS periods observation in 2002, 2007 and 2008 were carried out on the geodetic network established around the segment. The evaluations of these observations showed that the creep behaviour relaxed after the major earthquakes. This result demonstrates that the creep behaviour of the Ismetpasa segment might be a warning before future major earthquakes.

Abstract:

The methodology of the converted waves, or as it is commonly called, the "Receiver function" method, is well known and is widely used throughout the world to study the deep structure of the Earth up to 800 km. The method is based on the registration and interpretation of converted Ps waves. These studies were carried out as part of the International Seismotomo-graphic Laboratory using a software package developed at the University of Missouri (USA). One of the best regions for studying the early stages of mountain building is the Greater Caucasus, where most of the volcanism and mountain building appears to be 5 million years. Of particular interest is the immersion zone of the Kura Basin beneath the Greater Caucasus, the so-called subduction zone, which has not been sufficiently studied to date. To this end, we began our studies of the depth of the Moho border with this region. Thus, for the first time on the basis of the analysis of the wave characteristics of distant earthquakes recorded at seismic and telemetric stations of the RSSC, within the framework of the international project "Transect", the depths of the Moho border for the Azerbaijan part of the Greater Caucasus were refined by the method of exchange reflected Ps waves ("Receiver function"). Seismo-grams of the selected earthquakes were processed using the Seismic Analysis Code (SAC) software package under the MacOs operating system. The study examined seismological data recorded by a network of telemetry stations (N=20) for 2009-2019. In total, 2428 earth-quakes recorded at an epicenter distance of 35 to 90 degrees were analyzed. At the first stage, frequency filtering was carried out in order to eliminate oscillations that were too high, containing the effects of random scattering on inhomogeneities, and too low frequencies that re-duce the resolution. The working range of the periods ranged from two to 10 seconds. Next, two-dimensional and three-dimensional rotation of the axes was carried out. The summation of all traces was carried out with time shifts relative to some reference epicentral distance, which is assumed to be 60 degrees. On the summarized Q-tracks of the receiving functions, the Moho boundary with a delay time of 4.0 sec is clearly distinguished. Thus, a map of iso-lines of the depths of the Moho surface was constructed and depths were determined for the territory of the Guba-Gusar region 48-50 km, the Zagatala-Balakan region 46-47 km, the Shamakhi-Ismayilli region 48-52 km. As it was said earlier, the first definitions of the depth of the surface of Moho in Azerbaijan were made based on the data from the state earthquake and the gravitational model of the Earth's crust. R.M. Gadzhiev in 1965 and E.Sh. Shikhalibeyli in 1996 built such models. The data obtained are consistent with the available data, but discrepancies have been received. Compared with the map constructed according to the GSZ-KMPV and gravimetric data by R.M. Gadzhiev (1965), the difference in the thickness of the earth's crust was from one to 15 km. Compared with the map constructed according to the FGP and gravimetric data by E.Sh Shikhalibeyli (1996), the difference in the thickness of the earth's crust varied from one to 10 km.
