In this thesis primarily structural induced liquefaction potential was aimed to be
analyzed. Also the effect of base isolation systems both on structural performance and
liquefaction potential was studied. FLAC software was chosen for the analyses so that
structure and soil could be modeled together. By these means the soil structure
interaction effects were also examined. Four different structures and three different sites
were analyzed under two different input motions. All the structures were also analyzed
as base isolated. It was mainly found that depending on the structural type and for a
certain depth the liquefaction potential could be higher under the structure than the one
in the free field. Also it was concluded that base isolation systems were very effective
for decreasing the story drifts, shear forces in the structure and liquefaction potential in
the soil. It was also found that the interaction took place between structure, soil and
input motions.
