WELCOME MESSAGES
Dear participants of 2nd ECEES,
Dear Colleagues,
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.
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 M7.0. 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.
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 Garevski
EAEE President

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.
Alexey Zavyalov
EAEE President
WELCOME MESSAGES
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 countrys 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 Kadky 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,
