  • Deformation based seismic design of pile supported marine facilities 
    Polat, Şamil Şeref. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2008., 2008.)
    Pile supported marine structures with batter piles comprise a considerable share in the modern marine structure stock built in seismic zones. Their stiff nature offers significant advantages to structural engineers in ...
  • Deformation styles and rates along the North Anatolian Fault zone in the sea of Marmara based onshore-offshore seismic, geodetic and geologic data 
    Coşkun, Zeynep. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2021., 2021.)
    The aim of the thesis is to make a contribution on the long lasting debate on complex fault geometry along the northern branch of the NAF beneath the Sea of Marmara, using seismological, geodetic and geologic data. The ...
  • Dynamic shear amplification in seismic response of structural wall systems 
    Celep, Umut Utku. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2008., 2008.)
    Previous research indicates that, shear force demand in yielding walls are not proportional to the design moments calculated by code procedures and higher shear force demands develop along the wall with respect to code ...
  • Earthquake hazard and risk assessment for Turkey 
    Demircioğlu, Mine Betül. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2010., 2010.)
    Using a GIS-environment to present the results, seismic risk analysis is considered as a helpful tool to support the decision making for planning and prioritizing seismic retrofit intervention programs at large scale. The ...
  • Evaluation of practice-oriented nonlinear analysis methods for seismic performance assessment 
    Önem, Göktürk. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2008., 2008.)
    In the last decade, nonlinear static analyses based on pushover analysis have been developed as a simplified nonlinear analysis tool within the context of performance based design approach (ATC 40 and FEMA 356). Since ...
  • Factors affecting site response analysis 
    Tönük, Gökçe. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University. Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2009., 2009.)
    The objective of a site response analysis is to estimate free-field ground shaking characteristics during an earthquake for a specific hazard level and set of site conditions. The mandatory components for a site response ...
  • New techniques in dynamıc analysis of structures: Spectral element method, travelling wave method and enenrgy flux 
    Çağlar, Nilgün Merve. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2018., 2018.)
    The Spectral Element Method (SEM), Travelling Wave Method (TWM), and the Energy Flux are robust techniques to calculate the dynamic response of the structures, which are all based on the exact solution of the governing ...
  • Nonlinear fluid-structure interaction for multi-dimensional seismic analyses of liquid storage tanks 
    Özdemir, Zühal. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2009., 2009.)
    Real nonlinear behavior of liquid storage tanks includes many complexities which are caused by material yielding, large amplitude free-surface sloshing, non-linear fluid structure interaction, high deformations of tank ...
  • Response analysis and damage mitigation of buried continuous pipes subjected to faulting actions 
    Perdibuka, Dardan. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2022., 2022)
    Buried continuous steel pipelines are critical lifelines failure of which under fault rupture incidents may lead to significant and deteriorating environmental and socio economic outcomes. Proper understanding and estimation ...
  • Spatial variation of strong ground motion 
    Harmandar, Ebru. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2009., 2009.)
    Earthquake ground accelerograms measured at different locations along a large engineered structure could be significantly different. This has led to considerable research in the last decade on the modeling of the spatially ...
  • Tools and techniques for real time modal identification 
    Kaya, Yavuz. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2009., 2009.)
    Framework of the structural health monitoring (SHM) is to detect and locate the damage in the structure. Real-time identification of modal properties of a structure is very important in SHM because the changes in modal ...
  • Use of distinct element method in the assessment of earthquake behavior of masonry structures 
    Saygılı, Özden. (Thesis (Ph.D.)-Bogazici University.Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute, 2014., 2014.)
    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 ...
