Abstract: Effect of the hydrograph characteristics on the flood propagation due to dam break is studied by means of a distorted physical model of Ürkmez Dam, built in the scope of the TÜBİTAK 110M240 project, in open area of Hydraulics Laboratory of Dokuz Eylül University. The physical model has a horizontal scale of 1/150 and a vertical scale of 1/30 and it contains the reservoir and the downstream part of the dam until the sea. The Ürkmez dam was chosen since it has reasonable dimensions and it’s located close to Ürkmez village. The dam break was simulated by lifting the trapezoidal or triangular parts of the dam body to reflect the partial dam break, and also by lifting the gate suddenly in order to reflect the sudden failure. The water depths were measured by using e+ WATER L (level) sensors. The velocities were determined by Ultrasonic Velocity Profiler (UVP) transducers. The propagation of the flood wave was recorded by a HD camera. In this paper, the design and construction of the distort

Abstract: In this paper the seismic risk of conventional seven-story reinforced-concrete frame-wall building to near-field strong ground motions records is presented. The purpose of this investigation is to establish the effect of magnitude, directivity and distance to the fault on the seismic risk of a sample of buildings, designed according to the up to date seismic codes available in their region. As a first step, the fragility curves, associated with the different limit states regarding the response of the examined buildings, are estimated, following the methodology incorporated in the HAZUS procedure for individual structures. A large sample of ground motion time histories, effectively representing the seismic events for which near field records are available, is used as input motion for the selected buildings. The records examined adequately represent the diversification regarding the referred seismological characteristics that affect the strong ground motion. Subsequently, the response of
