Seismic Hazard Analysis: Theory and Application

Abstract

In this study, the main principles of deterministic and probabilistic seismic hazard analyses are given. A computer program was written using the principles of probabilistic approach. The program is aimed at computing return periods for peak horizontal ground acceleration (PGA) and the probability of exceedance of PGA for certain time periods. An example problem is presented to help the user better understand the program.

Sismik Tehlike Analizi: Teori ve Uygulama

Abstract

Bu çalışmada deterministik ve probabilistik olarak ikiye ayrılan sismik tehlike analizinin esasları verilmiştir. Probabilistik yaklaşım kullanılarak bir bilgisayar programı yazılmıştır. Programda maksimum yer ivmesine karşılık gelen dönüş periyodları ile belirli bir zaman dilimi içerisinde maksimum yer ivmesi değerlerinin aşılma ihtimali hesaplanmaktadır. Programın kolay anlaşılmasını sağlamak amacıyla bir de örnek problem sunulmuştur.
