| description | The behavior of the soils under dynamic loads is of great importance for the structures to be built in earthquake zones. As a result of the determination of the site-specific dynamic parameters of the soils and the analyzes to be made with these parameters, the ground response that will occur on the surface during the earthquake will be determined. Turkey is located in one of the important earthquake belts of Europe. Studies are carried out on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), which is one of the important and active fault lines here. In this study, as a result of 4 drilling studies on NAFZ, firstly, dynamic triaxial (TRX) and resonant column (RC) test systems were used to obtain site-specific shear modulus and damping curves depending on depth. 11 earthquake acceleration records reflecting the seismic characteristics of the region were selected and scaled in both time-history and frequency-time domains. Two different scaling methods were compared with the nonlinear soil amplification analysis. In addition, surface response spectra were examined according to the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TEC 2018). Although there is not a big difference in amplification values in two different scaling methods, it has been determined that the design spectrum values are very different. |
