Panel zone is one of the significant parts of beam-column connections in steel structures. Until the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, a few experimental research and parametric studies had been carried out to understand the behavior of the panel zones. However, after the Northridge Earthquake, it was observed that beam-column connections were unable to show presumed seismic performance. Therefore, current design codes needed to be revised to improve seismic performance of connections in general and panel zones in particular. In this research, panel zone deformation demands are examined using explicit three dimensional finite element models and considering different parameters. For this purpose, a frame model with two different beam-column configurations was developed in order to observe the effects of beam depth, the axial load level and the level of seismicity. The frame models were analyzed under twenty different ground motion records. Local strain demands at the panel zones as well as the global frame deformation demands are evaluated. Analysis results revealed that AISC Specification designs allowed panel zone yielding; however, panel zones designed according to FEMA 355D showed minimal yielding for both shallow and deep beam configurations. Based on the analysis results, local shear strain demands in panel zones were expressed as a function of interstory drifts and normalized panel zone thicknesses.

Torsional hysteretic damper for seismic protection of structures
Salem Milani, Ali; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014)
During the past decades, use of supplementary systems for seismic control of structures has gained increasing acceptance, and research has flourished on development and performance characterization of such systems. These include isolation systems and energy dissipation devices (dampers). This study is devoted to development of a new hysteretic damper for seismic protection of structures. The new system is a stand-alone damper, named Multi-directional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MTHD). MTHD is composed of e...
Investigation of seismic isolation efficiency for building structures
Özdemir, Seda; Yakut, Ahmet; Ay, Bekir Özer; Department of Earthquake Studies (2016)
The main goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of seismic isolation for building type of structures with different structural systems, namely, dual systems and moment frame systems having also different number of floors. Specific to this study, the main parameters employed for efficacy assessment will be the interstorey drift ratio and floor acceleration since both structural and non-structural damage to be occured in a system are directly related to these two parameters. To assess the variations in inter...
Seismic behavior of double walls with continuity reinforcement
Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem (null; 2015-07-21)
The conventional precast construction has deficiencies especially related to its connections between structural elements. Hence, its use in earthquake zones has been limited. However, the seismic performance of these systems can be improved by a semi-precast system, namely the double wall system. In this structural system, both precast and cast-in-situ concrete elements are utilized during the construction period, i.e. precast concrete shells are benefitted as a formwork to place cast-in-situ concrete. In t...
A Parametric study on the influence of semi-rigid connection nonlinearity on steel special moment frames
Metin, Tolga; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
In practice, steel frames are analyzed and designed by assuming all beam to column connections as either rigid or simple. In real life, there are no such idealizations as rigid or simple and all connections would actually belong to a group of connections named as semi rigid connections. Various difficulties exist in modeling an accurate non-linear behavior of a steel structure, where one of these challenges is the modeling of semi-rigid behavior of connections. A detailed finite element model would take int...
Use of engineered cementitious composite panels for seismic strengthening
Ayatar, Mehmet Engin; Canbay, Erdem; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Due to the massive number of deficient buildings in seismically active zones, the demolition and rebuilding of such structures is not a viable option. Instead, rehabilitation of seismically deficient buildings is commonly employed. Although, the most preferred rehabilitation approach has been the application of RC infills to the frames, this technique inevitably causes the evacuation of the structure. Therefore, there have been many studies on new occupant-friendly strengthening techniques. The aim of this ...
