  1. GIS APPLICATIONS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING: NORTHWEST TURKEY by Ali Sari Dept. of Civil Engineering, University of Texas at Austin

  2. Main Topics of the Project • Seismicity of Turkey • Seismotectonic of Turkey • 1999 Turkey Earthquakes • Seismic Hazard Analysis - Seismic Hazard Mapping (Input Energy, Spectral Acceleration) - Site Effects

  3. I. SEISMICITY OF TURKEY • Historical and recent Earthquakes • Epicenters • Magnitudes or Intensities

  4. NAF ANATOLIAN PLATE B.C. 550-A.D. 2001, Turkey and Adjacent Areas

  5. II. SEISMOTECTONIC OF TURKEY

  6. All Faults in Turkey

  7. NAF System in Northwest Turkey

  8. III. 1999 TURKEY EARTHQUAKES • Kocaeli Earthquake, August 17, 1999 • Duzce Earthquake, November 12, 1999

  9. Kocaeli Earthquake, M7.4 • Caused death of more than 30,000 people and damaged 50,000 buildings • One of the largest recent earthquakes on record to hit a modern industrialized area Duzce Earthquake, M7.2 • Caused death of more than 1,000 people and damaged 2,000 buildings

  10. 1999 Earthquakes and Damages

  11. Strong Ground Motion Stations

  12. IV. SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS • Spectral Acceleration (Sa), input Energy (Ai); for four different periods • Beside ArcGIS software; uthaz.for, uthazall.for, nehrp.for, fortran programs are used during analysis

  13. Algorithm for 0.3 sec. Sa with 5% Probability of Exceedance in 50 Years CharacteristicEq. Turkey-pois-3hz.char.out 3hz5pcsa.out Poisson distribution 5 % Period, 0.3 sec. Spectral Acc.

  14. Seismic Hazard Maps for Sa (pga, 0.2, 0.3, 1 sec.)

  15. Airport, Istanbul Sa, F=m*Sa T=0.6 sec.

  16. IV. SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS Including Soil Effect

  17. Algorithm for 0.3 sec. Sa with 5% Probability of Exceedance in 50 Yearsincluding Site Effect A3hz5pcsa.out Amplified 5 % SpectralAcc.

  18. Seismic Hazard Maps for Sa (pga, 0.2, 0.3, 1 sec.)

  19. Airport, Istanbul NewSa, F=m*NewSa T=0.6 sec.

  20. Conclusions • Northwest region of Turkey has high seismicity • NAF system causes severe earthquakes in this region • Seismic hazard analysis shows that the Sa and Ai values for Istanbul are high with 5 % probability of exceedance in 50 years • Soft soil amplifies the Sa and Ai values.

  21. Acknowledges • Dr. D. Maidment, Dr. L. Manuel (UT Austin) • Mark Peterson (USGS, Colorado) • Yesim Biro, M. Cem Ozbey (Kandilli Observatory, Turkey)
