...H. Goto; S. Sawada; H. Morikawa; H. Kiku; S. Ozalaybey Abstract The 1999 Kocaeli (Izmit) Earthquake seriously damaged the downtown area of Adapazari, Turkey. The wavefield of the strong ground motions is considered to have been affected by the deep ground structure. A refraction and reflection...

...B. Sadik Bakir; Haluk Sucuoğlu; Tolga Yilmaz Abstract Two major earthquakes occurred in Turkey along the North Anatolian fault in 1999. The first one, which occurred on 17 August 1999, had a moment magnitude of 7.4 and ruptured the 140-km segment of the fault in the Marmara region. Adapazari...

...Sinan Akkar; Polat Gülkan Abstract In 1999, Turkey was struck by two major earthquakes that occurred 86 days apart on the North Anatolian Fault system. Both earthquakes had right-lateral strike-slip mechanisms with moment magnitudes greater than 7. The number of strong-motion records obtained from...

..., after the Kocaeli, Turkey, earthquake of 17 August 1999. The major objectives were to determine S -wave velocity structures at the sites and to understand the site effects on strong motion or damage. Array observation of microtremors is a useful method for determining the S -wave velocity structures...

.... Herein, we investigate the robustness of these expressions by using new data from the 1999 M = 7.4 Turkey earthquake. A methodology is presented to calculate ground strains, by considering relative PGD along the axis of the pipeline. Results indicate that, for the strain/damage range of interest...

Therefore, in order to infer some characteristics of the attenuation in northwestern Turkey within the range 1–10 Hz, we invert the cumulative attenuation along each ray path by using a simplified approach where the t...
