Investigation of the dynamic behavior of soils in Konya province, Organized Industrial Region with equivalent and nonlinear analysis methods

In seismically active regions, earthquakes occur with sudden vibration waves as a result of fractures in the earth's crust since the formation of the Earth. Predicting and determining the behavior of soils under the influence of earthquakes is of great importance in the design of structures. Our country is also characterized as an active country in terms of earthquakes. As it is known, soils can reduce their effect by dampening seismic waves at certain frequencies acting on them, while some frequencies can have amplifying effects. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of soils must be determined through analysis. Within the scope of the thesis; two regions in different locations in Konya Organized Industrial Zone were determined and a total of 10 drilling wells were selected, 5 for each region. The data to be used in the analyzes were obtained from the region and soil profiles were created for each well. The obtained soil profiles were analyzed as equivalent linear and nonlinear through DEEPSOIL and EERA (Equivalent-linear Earthquake site Response Analyzes) programs. The obtained results were analyzed by creating tables. Values such as maximum surface accelerations, spectral accelerations, ground amplifications obtained as a result of the analyzes made in each region have been examined in detail in comparison.
