Özet

The main context of the investigation that is reported herein is to develop an indigenous ground-motion prediction equation to estimate the Cumulative Absolute Velocity (CAV) parameter for nuclear installation safety. The recently compiled Turkish strong-motion database has used for this purpose. This report details the derivation of the predictive model as well as the ground-motion database used. The predictive model is compared with the CAV estimations of a similar model that is derived from a global database. Possible causes for differences are discussed.
