Ground-motion data processing is a necessity for most earthquake engineering related studies. Important engineering parameters such as the peak values of ground motion and the ordinates of the response spectra are determined from the strong ground-motion data recorded by accelerometers. However, the raw data needs to be processed since the recorded data always contains high- and low-frequency noise from different sources. Low-cut filters are the most popular ground-motion data processing scheme for removing long-period noise. Removing long-period noise from the raw accelogram is important since the displacement spectrum that provides primary information about deformation demands on structural systems is highly sensitive to the long-period noise. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of low-cut filtering period on linear and nonlinear deformation demands. A large number of strong ground motions from Europe and the Middle East representing different site classes as well as different magnitude and distance ranges are used to conduct statistical analysis. The statistical results are used to investigate the influence of low-cut filter period on spectral displacements. The results of the study are believed to be useful for future generation ground-motion prediction equations on deformation demands that are of great importance in performance-based earthquake engineering.

A GPS/GIS based line of balance method for planning and control of construction projects Uysal, Furkan; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In construction industry Gantt charts, network methods and Line of Balance (LOB) methods are generally used for planning and control of projects. Networking techniques such as Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) require technical knowledge and could be difficult to implement without proper scheduling background. Gantt charts and LOB techniques are usually easier to implement, however, similar to network techniques these techniques lack visualization. A graphical bas...
Development of a risk management decision support system for intarnational construction projects Arıkan, Arif Erdem; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) It is agreed upon by many researchers that, although risk management (RM) is accepted as one of the critical success factors for construction projects, project participants generally do not have sufficient knowledge pertinent to risk management concept and the number of risk management support tools which facilitate the process is rather low. In order to facilitate risk management activities, decision support tools that will enable risk identification, analysis and response strategy formulation should be de...
Investigation of Au-Ag-Cu Alloy Electrodeposition to Electromechanical Systems Cagan, Berkay; ERDOĞAN, METEHAN; Karakaya, İshak; Yilmaz, Cemil; Yurdakul, Burak (2020-04-01) © 2020 ECS - The Electrochemical Society.Electromechanical systems, which provide electrical power and data connection between moving terminals require high conduction and erosion resistant surfaces. Transfers of electrical power and data are accomplished by the contact of drum and brush wires. The simultaneous electrochemical deposition of desired Au-Ag-Cu alloy compositions, which can be used to coat the brush wires, was investigated in this study. In the scope of the study, the static potential and cycli...
Main seismological features of recently compiled Turkish strong motion database Erdoğan, Özgür; Akkar, Sinan D.; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) In this thesis it is aimed to compile the Turkish strong-motion database for its efficient use in earthquake engineering and strong-motion seismology related studies. Within this context, the Turkish strong-motion database is homogenized in terms of basic earthquake source parameters (e.g. magnitude, style-of-faulting) as well as site classes and different source-to-site distance metrics. As part of this objective, empirical relationships for different magnitude scales are presented for further harmonizatio...
Performance evaluation of existing medium rise reinforced concrete buildings according to 2006 Turkish Seismic Rehabilitation Code Düzce, Zeynep; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) Linear elastic and nonlinear analysis procedures of 2006 Turkish Seismic Rehabilitation Code are applied to medium rise reinforced concrete buildings. In this study, four storey residential buildings are designed according to the 1998 and 1975 Turkish Seismic Design Codes, and the analysis procedures are verified on these case studies. In addition to these buildings, the analysis procedures are tested on an existing school building before and after retrofitting. The assessment procedures employed in the 200...
