We present a new approach for computing broadband (0–10 Hz) synthetic seismograms by
combining high-frequency (HF) scattering with low-frequency (LF) deterministic …

Using the 3-D finite-element method, we develop dynamic spontaneous rupture models of
earthquakes on the North Anatolian Fault system in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey, considering …

The rapid urban development in Istanbul has lead to an increase in the exposure levels of
the urban vulnerability. Due to the steadily increasing population, with improper land-use …

The heterogeneous nature of Earth's crust is manifested in the scattering of propagating
seismic waves. In recent years, different techniques have been developed to include such …

In this article, the outcomes of a research cooperation between Politecnico di Milano, Italy,
and Munich RE, Germany, aiming to improve ground‐motion estimation in the Istanbul area …

The 2011 moment magnitude (M w) 9.0 Tohoku‐Oki Japan earthquake occurred in a region
where giant megathrust earthquakes were not expected. This earthquake proved the …

In this paper, we adopt three ground-motion simulation techniques (the stochastic finite-fault
simulation code from; the hybrid deterministic-stochastic approach with approximated …

In the present study we investigate the high-frequency (HF) radiation mechanism of the 2000
Tottori earthquake in Japan based on a 3D spontaneous fault rupture dynamic model. We …

Stochastic simulations have recently become quite popular for estimating synthetic ground
motion time histories. For seismically active regions that are not well-monitored or studied …

This study investigates the engineering applicability of two conceptually different finite-fault
simulation techniques. We focus our attention on two important aspects: first to quantify the …
