Damages occurring during earthquakes may vary depending on the ground conditions in which the earthquake waves pass, the magnitude of the earthquake, the focal depth of the shaking and as well as the structural characteristics. Regional seismicity, ground movement and behavior of local soil conditions are important in earthquake-resistant building...

In foundation engineering, it is necessary to calculate the bearing capacity of soils. The allowable soil bearing capacity required for foundation design is calculated through various empirical methods using geotechnical parameters such as specific gravity and angle of internal friction. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) values of the soil are used i...

Kuru ve doygun durumda olan zeminlerin çevrimsel yükleme esnasında göstereceği zemin davranışı farklıdır. Özellikle sismik yükler altında doygun olan zeminlerde meydana gelen tekrarlı gerilmeler sonucunda, zeminde sıvılaşma, büyütme ve taşıma gücü kaybı gibi zemin problemlerinden dolayı hasarlar meydana gelebilmektedir. Dinamik yüklerin etkisiyle o...

The shear wave velocity (Vs) is one of the important parameters in the study of determining geotechnical engineering problems. In the dynamic field classification, the shear wave velocity is important for the first 30 meters’ depth from the surface. Therefore, the shear wave velocity (VS30) and the SPT-N value are necessary for earthquake engineeri...

The earthquake characteristics that are affecting the engineering structures are changing based on geotechnical and geological conditions within very short distances. Although Eskisehir has approximately 800,000 populations, it does not possess favorable soil conditions and ground water level as far as seismicity and settlement concern. During the...

Son zamanlarda, sismik yükler altında zemin tabakalarının davranışını belirlemek amacıyla kullanılan analitik modeller önemli hale gelmektedir. Bu önerilen analitik modeller kullanıcıya zemin özelliklerine göre tercih kolaylığı sağlamaktadır. Ancak aynı zemin özellikleri için farklı modellerin varlığı elde edilen sonuçlar arasında ne kadar fark...

Soil Behavior Analysis, One Dimensional Equivalent Linear Analysis, One Dimensional Nonlinear Analysis, Low Plasticity Soil, High Plasticity Soil

Zemin tabakaları, sismik yükleme sırasında değişken zemin koşulları nedeniyle farklı davranış gösterebilmektedir. Zemin özelliklerindeki bu değişkenlik, deprem sırasında oluşan tekrarlı gerilmelerin özelliklerini değiştirebilmekte ve buna ek olarak yapılara etkiyen yer ivmesi genlikleri, frekans içerikleri ve buna bağlı olarak oluşan tepki kuvvetle...

Local soil characteristics play a key role in determining soil-structure interaction and reliability of the superstructure behavior under seismic loadings. Therefore, correct determination of soil behavior under dynamic loads is very important. During the Kocaeli and Duzce Earthquakes in 1999, many buildings collapsed resulting to a large number of...

Ground behaviour under seismic loading is important in terms of soil-structure interaction and superstructure design. The stratification of soil layers can change the characteristics of earthquake ground motion. While soil layers dampen the seismic waves at some frequencies, they may amplify some other ones. Therefore, it is important to determine...

Turkey is located on the most active earthquake zone of the World. Izmit and Duzce earthquakes which occurred in 1999 and Van earthquake which occurred in 2011 also indicate that Turkey has high seismic activity. These earthquakes were caused huge loss of life and financial damages. Therefore, settlement suitability maps should be produced to deter...

zet Türkiye jeolojik, topografik ve iklim koşullarından dolayı sık sık doğal afetlere maruz kalmaktadır. Bu afetler içerisinde en çok hasara sebep olan ve en acı kayıplar yaşattıranların başında deprem gelmektedir. Deprem etkilerinin en az zararla atlatılabilmesi için, risklerin belirlenmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerekmektedir. Gerek mevcu...

The definitions of the risk factors due to a possible earthquake on the settlement area are useful for decreasing hazard of a potential earthquake and essential for preparing the management plans by the local municipalities and government. Soil amplification, vulnerability of buildings, natural period of soils and liquefaction are the main risk fac...

Although Eskişehir has approximately 626,000 population, it does not possesses favorable soil conditions and ground water level as far as seismicity and settlement concern. During the 7.4 magnitude August 17, 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake at Eskişehir downtown, one building was collapsed and dozens became unusable. Therefore, soil conditions of the settl...

In the last decade, advances in computer technologies and software's, such as data modeling, interpolation, extrapolation methods, has been widely used in geotechnical investigations with a restricted data. The obtained data from Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) are frequently used by determining the bearing capacity, liquefaction potential of soil...
