The main objective of the thesis is evaluating and comparing Second-Order Elastic Analysis Methods defined in two different specifications, AISC 2005 and TS648 (1980). There are many theoretical approaches that can provide exact solution for the problem. However, approximate methods are still needed for design purposes. Simple formulations for code applications were developed, and they are valid as acceptable results can be obtained within admissible error limits. Within the content of the thesis, firstly background information related to second-order effects will be presented. The emphasis will be on the definition of geometric non-linearity, also called as P-δ and P-Δ effects. In addition, the approximate methods defined in AISC 2005 (B1 B2 Method), and TS648 (1980) will be discussed in detail. Then, example problems will be solved for the demonstration of theoretical formulations for members with and without end translation cases. Also, the results obtained from the structural analysis software, SAP2000, will be compared with the results acquired from the exact and the approximate methods. Finally, conclusions related to the study will be stated.

Numerical integration of a class of 3d plastic-damage concrete models and condensation of 3d stress-strain relations for use in beam finite elements Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01) This paper presents a method for the integration of a class of plastic-damage material models. The integration of the evolution equations results in a nonlinear problem, which is linearized and solved with the Newton-Raphson method using a sub-stepping strategy. The consistent tangent matrix can be formulated either in terms of the stress components in a general reference system or in terms of the principal stress and strain components with the former then transformed to the general reference system. In ord...
Upgrading of slab-column connections using fiber reinforced polymers Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01) The results of an experimental program on upgrading of reinforced concrete slab-column connections subjected to monotonic shear and unbalanced moment transfer are presented in this study. Externally installed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) stirrups acting as shear reinforcement around the slab-column connection area were used with two patterns of CFRP arrangements. It was found that the proposed method resulted in punching shear capacity increases up to 60% relative to the specimen without any stren...
Predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams using artificial neural networks Mansour, MY; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, JY; Zhang, J (Elsevier BV, 2004-05-01) The application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the ultimate shear strengths of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with transverse reinforcements is investigated in this paper. An ANN model is built, trained and tested using the available test data of 176 RC beams collected from the technical literature. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of nine input parameters that cover the cylinder concrete compressive strength, yield strength of the longitudinal and transverse reinforc...
Assessment of improved nonlinear static procedures in FEMA-440 Akkar, Dede Sinan; Metin, Ash (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-01) Nonlinear static procedures (NSPs) presented in the FEMA-440 document are evaluated for nondegrading three- to nine-story reinforced concrete moment-resisting frame systems. Evaluations are based on peak single-degree-of-freedom displacement, peak roof, and interstory drifts estimations. A total of 78 soil site records and 24 buildings with fundamental periods varying between 0.3 s-1.3 s are used in 2,832 linear and nonlinear response-history analyses to derive the descriptive statistics. The moment magnitu...
Nonlinear analysis of R/C low-rise shear walls Mansour, Mohamad Y.; Dicleli, Murat; Lee, Jung Yoon (SAGE Publications, 2004-08-01) An analysis method for predicting the response of low-rise shear walls under both monotonic and cyclic loading is presented in this paper. The proposed analysis method is based on the softened truss model theory but utilizes newly proposed cyclic constitutive relationships for concrete and steel bars obtained from cyclic shear testing. The successfulness of the analysis method, when combined with new materials constitutive relationships, is checked against the test results of 33 low-rise shear walls reporte...
