As ground motion observations over long enough time periods are unavailable for majority of sites, most of the ground motion prediction equations have been derived using [...]

One of the most important features of directivity-dominant near-fault ground motions is the existence of impulsive signals in the beginning of ground velocity. Directivit [...]

Buried continuous steel pipelines are commonly used as reliable and economic means to transport oil and gas across the world. Such pipelines generally cover long distance [...]

In highly urbanized areas, subway systems are frequently built in close proximity of residential or commercial buildings. The inevitable result in many cases is the struc [...]

Novel empirical relationships are introduced to estimate the median, mean and dispersion of strength ratios to cause dynamic instability in oscillators with non-trivial b [...]

We derived empirical relationships for magnitude conversion using the recently compiled Turkish strong-motion database. The database also provides useful information abou [...]

We conducted shallow seismic survey at 10 strong-motion stations in Turkey and estimated shear-wave velocities down to a depth of 30 m using the method of multichannel an [...]

We conducted shallow seismic site survey at 161 strong-motion stations of the national grid in order to estimate P- and S-wave velocities down to a depth of 30 m. At each [...]

Low-cut filtering used for removing the long-period noise in accelerograms is investigated for its effects on the nonlinear peak oscillator displacements. We used a suite [...]

This study presents a simple model for estimating the inelastic maximum interstory drift ratio (MIDR) for frame type structural systems. The proposed model is a modified [...]
