The interstory drift-based scaling procedure (IDS) developed recently by the authors for plane frames under single component horizontal ground motions, has been extended to three-dimensional structures possessing torsional coupling under bi-axial ground motions which are represented by their geometric mean spectrum. The ground motion-scaling factor is defined as the ratio of average interstory drift along building height under target spectrum versus that under the associated ground motion spectrum. Hence, scaling is conditioned on structural response, which is in turn a function of seismic intensity. IDS for 3D systems is applied to 20-story and 3-story concrete space frames with mass and stiffness eccentricity, respectively. Accuracy and efficiency of the IDS procedure is assessed under a set of near-fault strong motion pairs from large magnitude events. The results revealed that the proposed procedure is accurate and noticeably more efficient as compared to conventional procedures suggested in seismic codes and in literature. Further, the intensity measure employed in the IDS procedure is proved as a good predictor of fundamental demand measures (maximum interstory drift ratio and maximum plastic rotations) obtained from nonlinear dynamic analyses under individual ground motion pairs. Hence, employing the intensity measure of IDS for ground motion scaling in intensity-based evaluation of structures is proposed for reliable estimation of structural performance under code-prescribed seismic hazard.

Interstory drift based scaling of earthquake ground motions
Eren, Numan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Pinho, Rui (2021-08-01)
A novel amplitude scaling procedure is proposed in this study where the ground motion scaling factors are defined as the ratio of interstory drift distributions under target spectrum versus under the associated ground motion spectrum. The advantage of employing interstory drift ratio in ground motion scaling, compared to employing spectral intensity directly, is that it provides a strong theoretical link between the target spectrum intensity and the fundamental dynamic characteristics of the structure.

Intersonic delamination in curved thick composite laminates under quasi-static loading
Gozluklu, Burak; Uyar, Imren; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-01-01)
Dynamic delamination in curved composite laminates is investigated experimentally and numerically. The laminate is 12-ply graphite/epoxy woven fabric L-shaped laminate subject to quasi-static loading perpendicular to one arm. Delamination initiation and propagation are observed using high speed camera and load displacement data is recorded. The quasistatic shear loading initiates delamination at the curved region which propagates faster than the shear wave speed of the material, leading to intersonic delami...
Multi-Mode Pushover Analysis with Generalized Force Vectors
Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2009-07-01)
A generalized pushover analysis procedure is developed for estimating the inelastic seismic response of structures under earthquake ground excitations. The procedure comprises applying a generalized force vector to the structure in an incremental form with increasing amplitude until a prescribed seismic demand is attained. A generalized force vector is expressed as a combination of modal forces, and simulates the instantaneous force distribution acting on the system when a given interstory drift reaches its...
Compressed Sensing Based Hyperspectral Unmixing
Albayrak, R. Tufan; GÜRBÜZ, Ali Cafer; Gunyel, Bertan (2014-04-25)
In hyperspectral images the measured spectra for each pixel can be modeled as convex combination of small number of endmember spectra. Since the measured structure contains only a few of possible responses out of possibly many materials sparsity based convex optimization techniques or compressive sensing can be used for hyperspectral unmixing. In this work varying sparsity based techniques are tested for hyperspectral unmixing problem. Performance analysis of these techniques on sparsity level and measureme...
TEMPORALLY CONSISTENT LAYER DEPTH ORDERING VIA PIXEL VOTING FOR PSEUDO 3D REPRESENTATION
Turetken, Engin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2009-05-06)
A new region-based depth ordering algorithm is proposed based on the segmented motion layers with affine motion models. Starting from an initial set of layers that are independently extracted for each frame of an input sequence, relative depth order of every layer is determined following a bottom-to-top approach from local pair-wise relations to a global ordering. Layer sets of consecutive time instants are warped in two opposite directions in time to capture pair-wise occlusion relations of neighboring lay...
