Most of the older reinforced concrete (RC) buildings have columns that are deficient when the current code requirements are considered. Therefore, performance of the columns determines the performance of the structure under the effects of earthquake induced lateral loads. It is recognized that no provision is proposed in TEC2007 to estimate the failure type called flexure-shear. Behavior of columns having probability of failing in flexure-shear failure mode is mostly underestimated by TEC2007 procedures. In addition, failure type classification of columns performed according to the linear and nonlinear procedures of TEC2007 needs to be examined with respect to the test results to cover all failure types including flexure-shear failure in order to lead the engineers develop economical and realistic retrofit solutions. In this study, different methods are explored to obtain reliable estimates for the performance of code deficient shear critical RC columns. Special considerations are given to Axial-Shear-Flexure interaction (ASFI) approach due to its mechanical background. After examination of different approaches, ASFI method with proposed modifications was selected as the most reliable model and lateral load-displacement analyses were performed on a database of shear critical columns. Findings were compared with the estimations of the nonlinear procedure given in Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC2007) for database columns. In addition, drift capacity equations and simplified safe drift capacity equations are proposed in light of statistical studies on the selected column specimens. In the last part of the study, performance evaluation of columns according to nonlinear procedures of FEMA 356, TEC2007, ASCE/SEI 41 update supplement, and EUROCODE 8 were conducted.

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...
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...
A comparative assessment of an existing reinforced concrete building by using different seismic rehabilitation codes and procedures
Öztürk, İsmail; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
Lateral load carrying capacities of reinforced concrete structures which are designed by considering only gravity loads or according to outdated earthquake codes can be insufficient. The most important problem for these buildings is the limited ductility of the frame elements. How to evaluate the performance of an existing structure and to what level to strengthen it had been major concerns for structural engineers. Recent earthquakes which occurred in the Marmara Region in the last decade have increased th...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures
Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01)
Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
Anchorage strength of fiber reinforced polymers
Çamlı, Ümit Serdar; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) have gained popularity in upgrade projects for reinforced concrete structural elements within the last decade because of its ease of application and high strength-to-weight ratio. In the design of an effective retrofitting solution by means of an FRP system, the anchorage capacity has an important role. This study presents the results of an experimental program conducted to determine the strength of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) bonded to concrete prisms or hollow...
