WELCOME MESSAGES

Dear participants of 2nd ECEES,

In the name of EAEE it is great honor and pleasure to greet this impressive gathering of experts in the field of earthquake engineering and seismology and to wish you a successful conference in Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

The pleasure to address in this conference for me is even greater because it takes place in the year when EAEE celebrates exactly 50 years since its establishment. This organization is founded in Skopje (1964), at the first symposium of EAEE. Since then every four years the symposium of ECEE is held in different countries all over Europe.

In cooperation with EAEE, conferences are organized by the National Associations for Earthquake Engineering of the host countries. The progress of EAEE and thus the development of European Earthquake Engineering can be best illustrated by the continuously increase in the number of original and high quality papers that are presented at conferences up to now.

The large number of scopes and topics (21) enables the program of the 2ECEES to be composed of 745 oral and 783 poster presentations. These presentations, along with the largest ever number of keynote speakers (13) and theme lecturers (29) can be expected to yield new solutions in reduction of earthquake risks. I expect this joint conference of EAEE and ESC, to increase synergy effect that started eight years ago. Thus, to the presenters I would like to wish successful presentations at this conference, stimulating discussions and further networking and cooperation in the future projects.

As the president of EAEE I would like to thank to the members of the organizing committee, the members of the Honorary Committee and members of the scientific committee for the current successful activities in the preparations of the conference. Surely the conference sponsors should be also acknowledged.

Finally I want to congratulate the Prime Ministry of the Republic of Turkey, Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency for their participation and support of the conference and the main organizatar of 2ECEES i.e. the Turkish Earthquake Foundation Earthquake Engineering Committee for the work so far and to wish a successful conference in Istanbul.

Mihail GarevskiEAEE President

Dear Colleagues,

It is for the first time that we are holding the General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission in Turkey, the country of high seismic activity and rich seismic history, in Istanbul – the industrial, commercial, cultural, and tourist centre of the country. During the XX century and the beginning of the XXI the Turkey endured 30 earthquakes with magnitudes over 6, which took away about 85 thousand lives. Half of these earthquakes had a magnitude M≥7.0. The senior generation of seismologists remembers the tragic events of the catastrophic Izmit earthquake which happened 15 years ago, on the 17th of August 1999, with a magnitude of M=7.6, which took the toll of over 17 thousand lives. This earthquake became the strongest on Turkish land for the last 70 years.

Earthquakes do not know any state borders. Strong tremors cause damage to wider areas than just the country which suffer them. Their impact is felt by the economy regionally, sometimes even globally. Scientists of one country cannot solve all the problems of seismology, including the most important one of them - earthquake prediction. This is why we, representatives of different countries, gather at General Assemblies to share the most recent scientific advancements and come up with new lines of research and ways of solving upcoming problems. We are well acquainted with the general composition of the environment in which earthquakes commence. And yet we are not know how they are created, which physical mechanisms control the seismic process, what precedes the occurrence of a disaster and how to minimize damage caused by strong earthquakes. As practice shows, we are still far from mutual understanding in communicating with the authorities and inhabitants of seismic zones.

The current General Assembly is being held in collaboration with the European Association of Earthquake Engineering. It is our second joint Assembly. The first one, as you remember, was held in 2006 in Geneva and gave a good chance for better understanding of problems treated by each association. I hope that this joint Assembly will be as fruitful for both organizations.

Dear Colleagues and Participants,

We are honored and very pleased to host the Second European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology here in Istanbul. We wish all the success for the conference.

I would like to give you some background information about the Turkish Earthquake Foundation.

Studies on earthquakes and Earthquake Engineering in Turkey started after the devastating earthquake that occurred in Erzincan in 1939. During the following years academic staff of Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul Graduate School of Engineering at that time) took active role in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Works in preparing the seismic codes and seismicity map of Turkey.

With the leadership and guidance of late Professor Dr. Rifat YARAR preparations for the establishment of Turkish National Committee on Earthquake Engineering started in 1965 after the charter of International Association of Earthquake Engineering was issued. Turkish National Committee on Earthquake Engineering was legally established in 1974 with members from Istanbul Technical University, Bosphorus University and Middle East Technical University with the support of Ministry of Public Works and Settlements. Professor YARAR was the chairman of the committee till his death in 2004. This committee organized the 5th ECEE in 1975 and 7th WCEE in 1980 in Istanbul. Also organized by the committee were the regional Seminars of European Earthquake Association on Earthquake Engineering in Istanbul in 1976, 1979, 1982, and 1987. First National Symposium on Earthquake Engineering was organized in Istanbul in 1985. After the Erzincan Earthquake of March 13, 1992, the national conferences started to be held in every two years.

After this earthquake, as a result of the joint venture of eight scientists, consisting of lecturers from Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Mines of Istanbul Technical University, it was decided to establish the Turkish Earthquake Foundation in the leadership of Prof. Dr. Rifat YARAR in order to minimize the loss of life and property that our people and country suffer from earthquakes.

The founders have worked together with the distinguished lecturers of ITU, METU and BU. These people have achieved great success in our country and abroad, especially after the big earthquake of Erzincan in 1939 and have realized the need of the establishment of the Turkish Earthquake Foundation under foundation status with the co-operation of Ministry of Public Works and Settlements. The Foundation has brought together both the corporations that are active in this field in our country and our country’s experts in earthquake science and earthquake engineering.

The founders have worked as a group and have prepared the necessary Foundation Bond at the end of three meetings. The Foundation Bond has been registered in compliance with the Decree No. 1993/95, Base No. 1992/851 dated 26.02.1993 issued by the Judge of Kadıköy 6th Civil Court and has been found appropriate by the General Directorate of Foundations and accordingly has been announced in the Official Gazette dated 15th April 1993 No: 21553. Prof. YARAR was also the chairman of the Governing Board of the Foundation till his death in 2004. Therefore, all the works were carried jointly by National Committee on Earthquake Engineering and Turkish Earthquake Foundation. The 2nd and 3rd NCEE were held in Istanbul in 1993 and in 1995 respectively in cooperation with the Chamber of Civil Engineers of Istanbul. The 4rd NCEE was held in Ankara in

1997. The 5th NCEE was held in Istanbul in 2003 since then it was decided to be held in every four years. Therefore the 6th and 7th NCEE were held in Istanbul in 2007 and 2011 respectively again with Chamber of Civil Engineers of Istanbul.

Since 2009 Turkish National Committee on Earthquake Engineering has decided to work as an independent Earthquake Engineering Committee under Turkish Earthquake Foundation.

Turkish Earthquake Foundation aims at:

Collaborating with domestic and international institutes, public organizations and private enterprises for earthquake preparedness and earthquake hazard mitigation,

Providing professional development on earthquake engineering and also raising awareness about earthquakes by way of community oriented educations,

Providing technical assistance and funding scientific or technical researchers and giving a scholarships to graduate students studying on earthquake engineering or seismology,

Working as a mentor, supervisor or inspector on earthquake resistant building design and construction services,

Certificating professional experience and training technical staff,
