In this thesis, stochastic simulations were performed for the 10 September 1509, 22 May 1766, and 10 July 1894 Istanbul earthquakes to constrain their source parame ters with a detailed characterisation and classification ...

In this study we attempt to estimate parameters that are related to path and near-surface effects, due to earthquakes that occurred in northwestern Turkey, by drawing on data from the Istanbul Earthquake Rapid Response ...

The effects of atmospheric factors on structural behavior have gained more importance due to climate change as result of global warming in recent years. In this thesis, the effects of ground motions and atmospheric variations ...

There are a number of masonry structures in Istanbul and in other cities of Turkey that suffered severe damage from earthquakes. As they will continue to get affected by the earthquakes, more research is needed to assess ...
