Displacement-based fragility functions for low- and mid-rise ordinary concrete buildings
Akkar, S; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yakut, Ahmet (SAGE Publications, 2005-11-01)
Fragility functions are determined for low- and mid-rise ordinary concrete buildings, which constitute the most vulnerable construction type in Turkey as well as several other countries prone to earthquakes. A hybrid approach is employed where building capacities are obtained from field data and their dynamic responses are calculated by response history analyses. Field data consists of 32 sample buildings representing the general characteristics of two-to five-story substandard reinforced concrete buildings...
Displacement monitoring, displacement verification and stability assessment of the critical sections of the Konak tunnel, Izmir, Turkey
Yertutanol, Kadir; Akgün, Haluk; Sopaci, Evrim (Elsevier BV, 2020-07-01)
The main focus of this study is vertical displacement monitoring and verification along with preliminary support design for the four geotechnical sectors of the twin tube Konak tunnel that was constructed in a highly populated area in Izmir. The displacements of the tunnel that were obtained through numerical analysis were verified by comparing them with the displacements obtained by construction monitoring. In the study area, volcanics, pyroclastics and some sedimentary deposits (sandstone, mudstone and co...
Displacement and asset transformation from inner-city squatter settlement into peripheral mass housing
Borsuk, Imren; Eroglu, Ensari (SAGE Publications, 2020-04-01)
While slum clearance projects in the Global South have displaced a large number of urban poor from the inner city to peripheral areas, peripheral mass housing estates have been developed as a spatial fix to improve the livelihood of the urban poor through slum development projects. Shifting the focus of displacement and poverty studies on changing assets and social experiences of displacement, this study makes an empirical contribution to the literature with a case study from Turkey. It demonstrates that ma...
Displacement-based seismic rehabilitation of non-ductile RC frames with added shear walls
Karageyik, Can; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Non-ductile reinforced concrete frame buildings constitute an important part of the vulnerable buildings in seismic regions of the world. Collapse of non-ductile multi story concrete buildings during strong earthquakes in the past resulted in severe casualties and economic losses. Their rehabilitation through retrofitting is a critical issue in reducing seismic risks worldwide. A displacement-based retrofitting approach is presented in this study for seismic retrofitting of medium height non-ductile concret...
Overlapping Lattice Simulation of Concrete Gravity Dam Collapse Simulations
SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Tuncay, Kağan; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış (2017-09-01)
Estimating the collapse limit state of concrete gravity dams within the framework of performance based design is challenging due to the uncertainty in modelling the response of these systems and the strong dependence of the behavior on the ground motion. The purpose of the study is to investigate the seismic expected damage levels by using the overlapping lattice modeling (OLM) approach with incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) for two representative dam monoliths. OLM employs pin connected bar elements exten...
