Development of a graphical user interface for composite bridge finite element analysis
Güven, Deniz; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
Curved bridges with steel/concrete composite girders are used frequently in the recent years. Analysis of these structural systems presents a variety of challenges. Finite element method offers the most elaborate treatment for these systems, however its use is limited in routine design practice due to modeling requirements. In recent years, a finite element program named UTrAp was developed to analyze construction stages of curved/straight composite bridges. The original Graphical User Interface could not b...
A Proposed ground motion and scaling procedure for structural systems
Ay, Bekir Özer; Akkar, Sinan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
This study presents a ground-motion selection and scaling procedure that preserves the inherent uncertainty in the modified recordings. The proposed procedure provides a set of scaled ground-motion records to be used in the response estimation of structural systems for a pre-defined earthquake hazard level. Given a relatively larger ground-motion dataset, the methodology constrains the selection and scaling of the accelerograms to the differences between individual records and corresponding estimations from...
Investigation of relationship between aggregate shape parameters and concrete strength using imaging techniques
Özen, Murat; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
In this study, relationships between aggregate shape parameters and compressive strength of concrete were investigated using digital image processing and analysis methods. The study was conducted based on three mix design parameters, gradation type, aggregate type and maximum aggregate size, at two levels. A total of 40 cubic concrete specimens were prepared at a constant water-cement ratio. After the compressive strength tests were performed, each specimen was cut into 4 equal pieces in order to obtain the...
Developing an innovative architectural and structural solution for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete residential buildings
Toker, Saadet; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Architecture (2004)
The recent earthquakes in Turkey have shown the poor seismic performance of reinforced concrete. This led to widespread utilization of several strengthening methods, each of which is convenient in different aspects. However, what is required to apply any of these methods is to evacuate the building in question since the interruptions are mostly within the building and to the structural members. This study proposes a method for external strengthening of typical five storey reinforced concrete buildings that ...
Development of a physical theory model for the simulation of hysteretic behavior of steel braces
Çalık, Ertuğrul Emre; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2007)
Bracing members are considered to be effective earthquake-resistant elements as they improve the lateral strength and stiffness of the structural system and contribute to seismic energy dissipation by deforming inelastically during severe earthquake motions. However, the cyclic behavior of such bracing members is quite complex because it is influenced by both buckling and yielding. This thesis presents simple but an efficient analytical model that can be used to simulate the inelastic cyclic behavior of ste...
