Özet:

Earthquakes have more hazardous and devastating effects in populated areas. To prevent damage and reduce the risks, broadband records are collected to use in the seismic hazard assessment and engineering seismology. In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, the simulated ground motions become more important. Broadband ground motion simulations are performed for 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake. Deterministic simulations are performed for low frequency part and stochastic simulations are performed for high frequency part of the ground motion record. Broadband ground motion simulations are done using EXSIM program for the stochastic high frequency portion of the ground motion and COMPSYN program for the deterministic low frequency portion. The comparisons of the real and simulated ground motion simulations are done in both time and frequency domains. For comparisons, four stations are selected, namely BOL, DZC, GYN and SKR which are located near Duzce City. Comparisons of observed damage with the distribution of simulated ground motion are also given. Additionally, attenuation of simulated data is compared against ground motion prediction equations. Finally, simulated records of the 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake are used in dynamic response analysis of three selected frames. The responses from simulated data is compared with those from the real data.
