“…Figure 10 shows the distribution of seismic quality. The seismic quality of buildings decreases as the number of stories increases, compatible with observations in the past damaging earthquakes in Turkey (Sucuoglu and Yazgan 2003;METU 2004). While more than half of RC 1-2 storey buildings are classified as good quality, the ratio of good seismic quality for RC 6+ buildings is almost negligible.…”

“…Past earthquakes, especially in Turkey, have shown that the building damage increases as the number of stories increases (Sucuoglu and Yazgan 2003;METU 2004;Sucuoglu et al 2007). This observation has been reflected in the scoring procedure of the current study.…”

“…The seismic quality classification can be made either by the judgment of trained observers (e.g., the IEDMP 2000) or using a scoring layout for the effective parameters (e.g., FEMA-154 1988;Sucuoglu and Yazgan 2003;METU 2004;Sucuoglu et al 2007). The field survey in this study provides an opportunity to classify the buildings according to their qualities using the parameters described in the previous section.…”

“…A combination of past studies based on statistical evaluation of damaged buildings during 1999 Duzce Earthquake (Sucuoglu and Yazgan 2003;METU 2004), FEMA-154 (1988), Ozmen (2005), Inel and Ozmen (2006), past experience, and engineering judgment were used to develop the contribution of each parameter, listed in Table 1. Vulnerability parameters are (a) number of stories, (b) age of building, (c) presence of overhangs, (d) presence of soft storey and short columns, (e) potential pounding effect, and (f) apparent building quality.…”

Seismic risk assessment of buildings in urban areas: a case study for Denizli, Turkey

This study aims to carry out a seismic risk assessment for a typical mid-size city based on building inventory from a field study. Contributions were made to existing loss estimation methods for buildings. In particular, a procedure was introduced to estimate the seismic quality of buildings using a scoring scheme for the effective parameters in seismic behavior. Denizli, a typical mid-size city in Turkey, was used as a case study. The building inventory was conducted by trained observers in a selected region of Denizli that had the potential to be damaged from expected future earthquakes according to geological and geotechnical studies. Parameters that are known to have some effect on the seismic performance of the buildings during past earthquakes were collected during the inventory studies. The inventory includes data of about 3,466 buildings on 4,226 parcels. The evaluation of inventory data provided information about the distribution of building stock according to structural system, construction year, and vertical and plan irregularities. The inventory data and the proposed procedure were used to assess the building damage, and to determine casualty and shelter needs during the M6.3 and 7.0 scenario earthquakes, representing the most probable and maximum earthquakes in Denizli, respectively. The damage assessment and loss studies showed that significant casualties and economic losses can be expected in future earthquakes. Seismic risk assessment of reinforced concrete buildings also revealed the priorities among building groups. The vulnerability in decreasing order is: (1) buildings with 6 or more stories, (2) pre-1975 constructed buildings, and (3) buildings with 3-5 stories. The future studies for evaluating and reducing M. Inel (&) Á S. M. Senel Á S. Toprak Á Y. Manav

Seismic risk management: A system-based perspective

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The deployment of seismic risk management is fraught with issues of complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty which pose critical challenges in assessing, modelling and management. The complexity of earthquake impacts and the uncertain nature of information necessitate establishing a risk management system to address the risk of many the effects of seismic events in a reliable and realistic way. This study was launched to review and criticize appropriate risk assessment methods for different seismic applications focusing on general characteristics from a systems perspective. The outcome of this study demonstrates the importance of a system perspective, providing a deeper insight into the background characteristics and the potential challenges involved within seismic risk management. This allows users to compare various systems and to choose the most appropriate approach according to the scope, size, accuracy and complexity of the application.
