Minimum requirements for lap splices in reinforced concrete members, stated in building codes of TS-500 and ACI-318, have a certain factor of safety. These standards have been prepared according to research results conducted previously and they are being updated according to results of recent studies. However the reliability of lap splices for minimum requirements needs to be investigated. For this purpose, 6 beam specimens were prepared according to minimum provisions of these standards. The test results were investigated by analytical procedures and also a parametric study was done to compare two standards. For smaller diameter bars both standards give safe results. Results showed that the minimum clear cover given in TS500 is insufficient for lap spliced bars greater than or equal to 26 mm diameter.

Evaluation of seismic response modification factors for steel frames by non-linear analysis Bakır, Serhan; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study steel framing systems are investigated with regards to their lateral load carrying capacity and in this context seismic response modification factors of individual systems are analyzed. Numerous load resisting layouts, such as different bracing systems and un-braced moment resisting frames with various bay and story configurations are designed and evaluated in a parametric fashion. Three types of beam to column connection conditions are incorporated in evaluation process. Frames, designed acco...
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 ...
Seismic behavior and improvement of autoclaved aerated concrete infill walls Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Uzgan, Ugur; Eryurtlu, Zafer; Bulbul, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-15) Performance of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames is generally questionable under the combined action of in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands. Despite the vast number of tests investigating the behavior of brick masonry infill walls in RC frames, past research is limited for infill walls made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. In the first part of the study, six single-bay single-story half-scaled RC frames were tested under the action of in-plane cyclic displacement excursions a...
Fragility based assessment of lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete frame buildings in Turkey Ay, Bekir Özer; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study, structural vulnerability of reinforced concrete frame structures by considering the countryspecific characteristics is investigated to manage the earthquake risk and to develop strategies for disaster mitigation. Lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete structures, which constitute approximately 75% of the total building stock in Turkey, are focused in this fragilitybased assessment. The seismic design of 3, 5, 7 and 9story reinforced concrete frame structures are carried out according to the ...
Component based seismic vulnerability assessment procedure for rc buildings Erduran, Emrah; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) 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...
