Structural assessment is a very hot topic in earthquake-prone countries since the evaluation of building stock is necessary for existing aged or shady buildings, after a major earthquake, or after major seismic code changes. Many different techniques are proposed in this context, but there are very limited studies on applying assessment methods using internet-based technologies even though web-based approaches will have many advantages such as formation of a building condition database, integration with other cloud services (like GIS), implementing hardware capabilities (taking photos, voice recording, vibration measurements by accelerometers, geolocation by GPS. . . etc.), automated simple analysis and reporting, access and applicability to many users and large geographic areas, and mobilization of the process using mobile platforms (smartphones and tablets). The structure of the developed on-line system has three root modules; client, analysis server, and database servers. The system performs two levels of assessment. In this study, existing assessment methods have been implemented to the web-based analysis tool as well as new improved assessment techniques are proposed. The first method evaluates a building based on simple observable parameters (such as number of floors, window sizes. . . etc.) that can be entered by residents and non-technical people as well, while the second level requires a more comprehensive data entry including column locations and column geometric dimensions. The first level method has been improved by adding addiv tional evaluation parameters and increased interaction between these parameters such as soil condition and building height (or period). The second developed technique is more advanced and has minimal structural analysis while approximately mimicking a full three-dimensional finite element analysis. The developed simplistic method and the advanced method are both experimentally implemented to the internet and results are correlated with other first level and SAP2000 analyses for randomly generated buildings and successful correlations were obtained.

Linear modal combination procedure for structural dynamics
Tanışer, Sadun; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Earthquake engineering practice utilizes different analysis procedures in the estimation of seismic demands on structures. These procedures are mainly divided into two groups as static and dynamic procedures. Dynamic procedures are more accurate than the static procedures since they include the entire history of any response parameter during the ground motion. Nevertheless, there are also approximate but much simpler static analysis procedures that overcome high computational demands and inherent difficulti...
Fragility based assessment of lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete frame buildings in Turkey
Ay, Bekir Özer; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2006)
In this study, structural vulnerability of reinforced concrete frame structures by considering the countryspecific characteristics is investigated to manage the earthquake risk and to develop strategies for disaster mitigation. Lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete structures, which constitute approximately 75% of the total building stock in Turkey, are focused in this fragilitybased assessment. The seismic design of 3, 5, 7 and 9story reinforced concrete frame structures are carried out according to the ...
Fragility based assessment of lowrise and midrise reinforced concrete frame buildings in turkey using Düzce damage database
Özün, Ahsen; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
In this study, the seismic fragility assessment of low-rise and mid-rise reinforced concrete frame buildings which constitute approximately 75 % of the total building stock in Turkey is investigated to quantify the earthquake risk. The inventory used in this study is selected from Düzce damage database which was compiled after the devastating 1999 earthquakes in the Marmara region. These buildings are not designed according to the current code regulations and the supervision in the construction phase is not...
An approach for seismic damage assessment of residential buildings /
Demirci, Ceren; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
For developing countries in earthquake-prone regions, two main issues in seismic damage estimation are identification of seismic hazard in the region of interest and up-to-date information of the existing building stock. This study proposes an approach to handle these key issues and to obtain reliable measures for regional seismic damage estimation. The approach makes use of the basic structural information for different types of construction. This information can be readily available or may have been obtai...
A Predictive model for maximum interstory drift ratio (MIDR) and its implementation in probability-based design and performance assessment procedures g
Eroğlu Azak, Tuba; Akkar, Sinan; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Estimating nonlinear deformation demands is important for the implementation of rational seismic design and assessment methodologies to ensure the safe and reliable response of existing and new buildings against seismic action. The nonlinear deformation demand estimations should consider the variability inground motions as well as the uncertainties involved in structural response. This study presents probability-based seismic design and assessment procedures for code-confirming low- and mid-rise reinforced ...
