The aim of this study is designing steel structures with the same geometry, material and soil conditions but in the different countries, and comparing these designs in terms of material savings. According to three steel building codes, namely TS 648, LRFD, Eurocode 3, same structures with various stories (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) are analyzed and designed. To calculate the design loads, Turkish Earthquake Code 2007 and Turkish Standard 498 (Design Load for Buildings) are utilized when TS 648 is applied. When LRFD is concerned, ASCE Standard 7-05 (Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures) and AISC Standard 341-05 (Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings) are used for calculation of the design loads and earthquake loads. When Eurocode 3 is applied, Eurocode 8 (Earthquake Resistance Code), Eurocode 1 (Actions of Structures) and Eurocode-EN 1990 (Basis of Structural Design) are used in order to determine the design and earthquake loads. Weight of steel used on 1 m² is almost the same for procedures of LRFD and EC3. It is important to note that those procedures consider 20 % of material saving compared to TS648.

A Comparative Study of AISC-360 and EC3 Strength Limit States
Topkaya, Cem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-03-01)
A study has been undertaken to evaluate the similarities and differences between the steel building design specifications used in the United States and Europe. Expressions for nominal strength presented in the AISC-360 Specification and the Eurocode 3 Specification were compared for fundamental limit states. In particular, rules for cross-section classification, tension members, compression members, I-shaped members subjected to flexure, 1-shaped members subjected to shear, and fasteners were studied. Resul...
An improved finite grid solution for plates on generalized foundations
Karaşin, Abdulhalim; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
In many engineering structures transmission of vertical or horizontal forces to the foundation is a major challenge. As a first approach to model it may be assumed that the foundation behaves elastically. For generalized foundations the model assumes that at the point of contact between plate and foundation there is not only pressure but also moments caused by interaction between the springs. In this study, the exact stiffness, geometric stiffness and consistent mass matrices of the beam element on two-para...
Bonding efficiency of roller compacted concrete with different bedding mixes
Özcan, Sinan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) has rapidly evolved from a concept to a material and a process which is used throughout the world for faster and more economical construction of dams. Currently, there are more than 250 RCC dams, completed or under construction, in the world. On the other hand, currently, there are only two RCC dams completed (Suçatı and Cindere Dams) and two under construction (Beydağ and Çine Dam) in Turkey. RCC dams are constructed in a series of compacted layers usually 30 cm in thickness...
A Methodology for Optimal Layout Design of Pressure Cells for Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams
Arı, Onur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01)
In this study, a methodology for optimal layout design of pressure cells for concrete faced rockfill dams is developed. A representative dimensionless stress distribution model was formed for obtaining the magnitudes and location of different stress zones as a function of dam height. This information enabled development of a procedure for proper location and the number of pressure cells throughout the dam body. A vertical placement algorithm based on error minimization was first developed, which is followed...
A Web based multi user framework for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames - beams
Anıl, Engin Burak; Kılıç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Structural design of reinforced concrete structures requires involvement of many engineers who contribute to a single project. During the design process engineers have to exchange wide variety of information. Unmanaged data exchange may result in loss of resources. Developing a data model and setting up protocols for the management of data related to various structural design tasks can help to improve the quality of the structural design. In this study, an object oriented data model was developed for reinfo...
