In earthquake engineering, the approximation of site amplification by using practical ways has been an important issue. Various site parameters were proposed and applied in the engineering practice. Among these, time ...

Strong ground motion estimation tools such as empirical ground motion prediction equations rely mostly on recorded data. Good quality strong motion data became available mostly in recent years and are still sparse for near ...

Due to the killing thousands of people in the twentieth century and seismicity of our country, earthquakes are one of the most important natural hazards for our country. Therefore the earthquake resistance of structural ...

Behavior of the structures under near-field ground motions is different than behavior of the structures under far-field ground motions, in terms of strength demand or inelastic displacement demand, and therefore, design ...

Seismic Isolation Systems are among tools to achieve advanced earthquake-resistant designs, developed in last century. Commonly, the applications are seen in cases which it is aimed to stabilize structures considered to ...

Objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a hybrid isolation system for a three-storey mass concentric steel structure. The isolation system consists of 2 elastomeric bearings and 4 flat sliding bearings, ...

Laser scanning technology is one of the most e cient solutions for generating three-dimensional data. Besides its use in areas such as archaeology, biology, geology, architecture, it has been used for various purposes in ...
