Seismic performance of a 253 m tall reinforced concrete core wall building constructed in Istanbul, designed according to performance-based seismic design principles, is assessed for determining the response parameters that control the serviceability, safety and collapse performance limit states. Serviceability performance is evaluated under the 50-year wind and 43-year earthquake whereas safety performance is assessed under the 2475-year earthquake. Collapse performance is elaborated through incremental dynamic analysis. Our study revealed that the service performance is controlled by the maximum interstory drift limits specified for wind loads, and safety performance is controlled by the flexural steel strain limits of coupling beams. Collapse occurs in two consecutive stages: flexural collapse of coupling beams, followed by crushing of concrete at critical shear wall segments. Collapse spectra are defined for these two collapse limit states. Collapse spectra can be extrapolated from the 2475-year maximum considered earthquake spectrum provided that the prevailing inelastic mechanisms are similar under the MCE and collapse ground motions. The building displays a significantly higher seismic performance at all performance levels, which is primarily attributed to the overstrength due to the limitation of axial stresses on vertical members under design earthquake load combination. The annual frequency of the mean earthquake ground motion that leads to incipient collapse is determined as 8 center dot 10(-5), which is significantly lower than the annual frequency of 2475-year ground motions.

Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation
Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01)
This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...

A 62-story tall reinforced concrete office building with a free-standing height of 250 m has been designed in Istanbul in accordance with the new Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC, 2017). According to TEC 2017, buildings taller than 70 m and located in the first and second seismic zones are classified as tall buildings and these building shall be designed to meet the special rules based on performance-based seismic design approach. The tall building in Istanbul, having a parallelogram shaped floor plan and reinf...
Vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete moment resisting frame buildings
Erduran, Emrah; Yakut, Ahmet (2007-04-01)
A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls. The procedure is based on member damage functions, in terms of interstory drift ratios. These functions are developed for the primary components, namely, columns, beams, and infill walls. For developing these functions, analytical investigations to determine the influence of several parameters on the damageability of components were combined with experimental data. A...
Seismic collapse safety based optimization of steel Moment-Resisting frames
Gholizadeh, Saeed; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Eser, Hasan; Koçkaya, Okan (2022-11-01)
Structures must have a reasonable seismic safety margin in order to ensure life-safety as well as to prevent structural collapse caused by earthquakes. On the other hand, the cost-efficiency and economy of structures are important and integral parts of structural engineering. The main aim of the current study is to propose an efficient methodology for designing cost-efficient multi-story special steel moment-resisting frames at predefined levels of seismic collapse safety. To achieve this purpose, a seismic...
