Finite element analysis of structures with non-prismatic members

Implementation of coupled thermal and structural analysis methods for reinforced concrete structures Albostan, Utku; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Temperature gradient causes volume change (elongation/shortening) in concrete structures. If the movement of the structure is restrained, significant stresses may occur on the structure. These stresses may be so significant that they can cause considerable cracking at structural components of large concrete structures. Thus, during the design of a concrete structure, the actual temperature gradient in the structure should be obtained in order to compute the stress distribution on the structure due to therma...
Numerical simulations of reinforced concrete frames tested using pseudo-dynamic method Mutlu, Mehmet Başar; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Considering the deficiencies frequently observed in the existing reinforced concrete buildings, detailed assessment and rehabilitation must be conducted to avoid significant life and value loss in seismic zones. In this sense, performance based evaluation methods suggested in the regulations and codes must be examined and revised through experimental and analytical research to provide safe and economical rehabilitation solutions. In this study, seismic behavior of three reinforced concrete frames built and ...
Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures Çiftçi, Güçlü Koray; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Reinforced concrete frames display nonlinear behavior both due to its composite nature and the material properties of concrete itself. The yielding of the reinforcement, the non-uniform distribution of aggregates and the development of cracks under loading are the main reasons of nonlinearity. The stiffness of a frame element depends on the combination of the modulus of elasticity and the geometric properties of its section - area and the moment of inertia. In practice, the elastic modulus is assumed to be ...
