A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete frame buildings with masonry in-fill walls and reinforced concrete frames including shear walls. The procedure uses member damage functions, in terms of inter-story drift ratios, developed for the primary components: columns, beams, in-fill walls and shear walls. Analytical investigations carried out to determine the influence of a number of parameters on the damageability of components were combined with existing experimental data to develop component damage functions. A new approach has been developed to combine component damage states to determine the story and building level performance states. The procedure has been calibrated and compared with other procedures by predicting the observed performance of seven buildings exposed to recent earthquakes in Turkey. It was observed that the damage experienced by most of the components of these buildings was predicted satisfactorily, and that the observed building damage states were captured. The procedure can be used for a reliable performance assessment as well as performance-based design of the RC frame structures.

Quantifying seismic design criteria for concrete buildings
Tüken, Ahmet; Atımtay, Ergin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
The amount of total and relative sway of a framed or a composite (frame-shear wall) building is of utmost importance in assessing the seismic resistance of the building. Therefore, the design engineer must calculate the sway profile of the building several times during the design process. However, it is not a simple task to calculate the sway of a three-dimensional structure. Of course, computer programs can do the job, but developing the three-dimensional model becomes necessary, which is obviously tedious...
A detailed analysis for evaluation of the degradation characteristics of simple structural systems
Kurtman, Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics. The objective of this study is to address the influence of degrading behavior on simple systems. The Structural Performance Database on the PEER web site, which contains the results of cyclic, lateral-load ...
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 ...
Low cycle fatigue effects in the damage caused by the Marmara earthquake of August 17, 1999
Acar, Fikri; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
This study mainly addresses the problem of estimating the prior earthquake damage on the response of reinforced concrete structures to future earthquakes. The motivation has arisen from the heavy damages or collapses that occurred in many reinforced concrete structures following two major earthquakes that recently occurred in the Marmara Region, Turkey. The analysis tool employed for this purpose is the package named IDARC2D. Deterioration parameters of IDARC's hysteretic model have been calibrated using a ...
Component damage functions for reinforced concrete frame structures
Erduran, Emrah; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01)
Displacement-based damage functions for the components of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frames have been developed. columns, beams and brick infills were considered in this study as the structural elements that contribute to the seismic behavior of RC resisting frames. Finite element analyses were carried out on RC columns and beams to investigate effects of their material and properties on the behavior of these elements, and also to develop the damage functions. The independent parameter used i...
