Abstract
Studies conducted to reduce the destructive effects of earthquakes are among the research topics that have been focused on recently. In this study, a series of simulation studies were carried out to reduce vibration effects by using steel metamaterials in four different field sequences: square, triangle, sine and circle. The resulting transmission losses are determined using the finite integration method (FEM). In the simulation study, parametric definitions were made while keeping the steel structures and ground constant, and the arrangement of the piles were kept geometrically different from each other. The aim of the study is to determine the most appropriate field application for steel and to examine the differences that arise as a result of the field alignments. As a result of the simulations, it has been observed that the surface vibrations are significantly restricted at 5.8 and 8.5 Hz frequency values in all applications. However, when the applied field structures were compared, it was concluded that the field in the triangular arrangement prevented surface waves more than other field applications.
