The analysis procedures employed in earthquake engineering can be classified as linear static, linear dynamic, nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic. Linear procedures are usually referred to as force controlled and require less analysis time and less computational effort. On the other hand, nonlinear procedures are referred to as deformation controlled and they are more reliable in characterizing the seismic performance of buildings. However, there is still a great deal of unknowns for nonlinear procedures, especially in modelling the reinforced concrete structures. Turkey ranks high among all countries that have suffered losses of life and property due to earthquakes over many centuries. These casualties indicate that, most regions of the country are under seismic risk of strong ground motion. In addition to this phenomenon, recent studies have demonstrated that near fault ground motions are more destructive than far-fault ones on structures and these effects can not be captured effectively by recent nonlinear static procedures. The main objective of this study is developing a simple nonlinear dynamic analysis procedure which is named as “Dynamic Pull Analysis” for estimating the seismic response of multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems. The method is tested on a six-story reinforced concrete frame and a twelve-story reinforced concrete frame that are designed according to the regulations of TS-500 (2000) and TEC (1997).

Influence of idealized pushover curves on seismic response Kadaş, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) Contemporary approach performance based engineering generally relies on the approximate procedures that are based on the use of capacity curve derived from pushover analysis. The most important parameter in the displacement-based approach is the inelastic displacement demand computed under a given seismic effect and the most common procedures employed for this estimation; the Capacity Spectrum Method and the Displacement Coefficient Method are based on bi-linearization of the capacity curve. Although there ...
An investigation of accuracy of inertial interaction analyses with frequency-independent impedance coefficients Yılmazok, Özgün; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) The inertial interaction between the soil and structure alters dynamic response characteristics of a structure due to foundation deformability, such that the flexibility and energy dissipation capability of surrounding soil may lead to a significant increase in period and damping of structural oscillations. The inertial interaction analyses can be accomplished through utilisation of frequency dependent foundation impedance coefficients that are reported in literature for various soil conditions and foundati...
Lateral load analysis of shear wall-frame structures Akış, Tolga; Tokdemir, Turgut; Department of Engineering Sciences (2004) The purpose of this study is to model and analyze the nonplanar shear wall assemblies of shear wall-frame structures. Two three dimensional models, for open and closed section shear wall assemblies, are developed. These models are based on conventional wide column analogy, in which a planar shear wall is replaced by an idealized frame structure consisting of a column and rigid beams located at floor levels. The rigid diaphragm floor assumption, which is widely used in the analysis of multistorey building st...
A numerical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frames with infill walls Güney, Murat Efe; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Materially non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures with infill walls requires appropriate mathematical models to be adopted for the beams and the columns as well as the infill walls. This study presents a mathematical model for frame elements based on a 3D Hermitian beam/column finite element and an equivalent strut model for the infill walls. The spread-of-plasticity approach is employed to model the material nonlinearity of the frame elements. The cross-section of the frame element is ...
Finite element analysis of composite laminates subjected to axial and transverse loading Baskın, İsmail Cem; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) This thesis focuses on the investigation of behavior of thick and moderately thick laminates under transverse and horizontal loading for different boundary conditions and configurations. An efficient finite element solution is proposed for analyzing composite laminates. Based on a combination of composite theory and 3-D Elasticity Theory, a 3-D finite element program is developed in MATLAB for calculating the stresses, strains and deformations of composite laminates under transverse and/or horizontal loadin...
