Performance-based design of R/C tall structures has become mandatory with Turkish Earthquake Code (2018). While some professionals think that linear capacity design is sufficient, others have supported this new approach only in regions where earthquake is more effective. Nonlinear design requires comprehensive and detailed theoretical knowledge. The compatibility of Perform 3D software, widely used in this design, with experiment results is unknown and calibration is not mandatory in the regulation. It is another unknown to what extent calibration will change the design results. For this purpose, study was carried out on a tall structure with a height of 112 m above basement floor with flat slab, core-wall group and link beams. The design was made according to linear and nonlinear analysis for two different earthquake zones, i.e., Ankara and Istanbul. Necessity of nonlinear analysis in tall structures for both earthquake zones has been confirmed. In order to make the design compatible with experiments, calibration work was carried out for rectangular, T-shaped and U-shaped walls and diagonally and conventionally reinforced link beams. With calibration study, it was seen that cyclic degradation factors were very effective and numerical calibration results were given. The model concrete strain values of walls were very small from the experimental values. For this, the correction coefficient "a” and formulation for walls concrete strain results are proposed. Ideal wall mesh modeling has been proposed horizontally and vertically. The results of models with calibrated and 2 alternative uncalibrated cyclic degradation factors were compared, with results that were up to 30% lower in the absence of cyclic degradation factors. Low cyclic energy degradation factors are appropriate and sufficient for the design. As a result of all this study, some suggestions have been made for structural engineers and for some clauses of the Turkish Earthquake Code (2018).

Performance Based Seismic Evaluation of a 62 Story RC Tower in Istanbul
Budak, Erhan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2018-06-18)
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...
Analytical study on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings using steel braces with shear link
Durucan, Cengizhan; Dicleli, Murat (2010-10-01)
This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS is composed of a rectangular steel housing frame with chevron braces and a yielding shear link connected between the braces and the frame. The retrofitting system is installed within the bays of an RC building frame to enhance the stiffness, strength and ductility of the structure. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system usin...
Response parameters that control the service, safety and collapse performances of a 253 m tall concrete core wall building in Istanbul
Budak, Erhan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Çelik, Ozan Cem (2022-10-01)
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 dy...
Guidelines for structural health monitoring systems on tall buildings and a case study
Gümüş, Oğuzhan; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-2-15)
The new Turkish Building Earthquake Code requires real-time monitoring of the structural response of buildings of Earthquake Design Class 1 and 2 that are taller than 105 m. Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems on tall buildings have to comply with the SHM Guidelines by the Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency of Turkey, developed as part of two research projects that were undertaken at METU and Bogazici University. Two tall buildings in Izmir and Istanbul, respectively, were instrumented as c...
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,...
