Tsunami action on coasts and constructions GÜLER, HASAN GÖKHAN; ÇINAR, GİZEM EZGİ; SHARGHIVAND, NAEIMEH; ÖZER SÖZDİNLER, CEREN; DOĞAN, GÖZDE GÜNEY; NECMİOĞLU, ÖCAL; ZAYTSEV, ANDREY; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2017-07-01) Tsunamis are high-impact, long-lasting disasters, which in most cases allow for only a few minutes of warning before impact. The amount of energy behind huge tsunami waves can cause severe destruction when it hits land and consequently causes massive loss of human life. The impact of tsunami can be considered in social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The social impact can be seen in destruction of life and property, health crisis and disease. Tsunamis may cause massive environmentally impact by dev...
TSUNAMI ACTION ON COASTS AND CONSTRUCTIONS Zaytsev, Andrey; Klyachko, Ma; Kurkın, Andrey; Pelınovsky, Efım; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (2018-05-23)
Tsunami focusing and leading wave height Kanoğlu, Utku (null; 2016-04-17) Field observations from tsunami events show that sometimes the maximum tsunami amplitude might not occur for the first wave, such as the maximum wave from the 2011 Japan tsunami reaching to Papeete, Tahiti as a fourth wave 72 min later after the first wave. This might mislead local authorities and give a wrong sense of security to the public. Recently, Okal and Synolakis (2016, Geophys. J. Int. 204, 719-735) discussed "the factors contributing to the sequencing of tsunami waves in the far field." They consi...
Tsunami human vulnerability assessment of silivri district, Istanbul Tüfekçi Enginar, Duygu; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Zaytsev, Andrey (null; 2018-04-08) Assessment of tsunami human vulnerability is essential for development of tsunami hazard mitigation strategies especially when the possible affected areas are within a metropolis. The Sea of Marmara has faced tsunami events that are both generated by earthquakes or landslides. Therefore, all the coastal districts of the megacity Istanbul are prone to suffer from tsunami events. Some of the coastal districts of Istanbul have been studied in detailed within the concept of tsunami human vulnerability assessmen...
Tsunami risk and strategies for the European region (TRANSFER) Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet(2009-10-30) The project main goal is to contribute to our understanding of tsunami processes in the Euro-Mediterranean region, to the tsunami hazard and risk assessment and to identifying the best strategies for reduction of tsunami risk. Focus will be posed on the gaps and needs for the implementation of an efficient tsunami early warning system (TEWS) in the Euro-Mediterranean area, which is a high-priority task in consideration that no tsunami early warning system is today in place in the Euro-Mediterranean countrie...
