Nonlinear and Equivalent Linear Site Response Analysis of Istanbul Soils

The effect of local soil characteristics on the propagation earthquake waves has been commonly studied by researchers. However, validity results obtained these studies is limited only to relevant conditions. main purpose this study examine conditions seismic in Istanbul. In regard, information belonging different districts Istanbul compiled. site response analysis was simulated using a time-domain nonlinear based effective stress method and frequency-domain equivalent linear total method. A widely used one-dimensional program DEEPSOIL estimate sites. Modeled profiles were subjected 1999 Kocaeli motion are presented as spectral acceleration, PGA, lateral displacements. from both analyses evaluated comparatively terms properties waves. approaches examined. highlighting how will be affected liquefaction potential also data investigation area.
