Strut and tie models with the dual use of the finite element method and the lattice networks İşıkli, Yunus; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın; Tuncay, Kağan (2026-01-01) Strut and tie modelling (STM) is widely recognized as a prominent design method for the design of disturbed (D) region reinforced concrete structural elements. The paramount initial step in conducting optimized reinforceme...
Radical changes in the seismic design philosophy based on 2023 Kahramanmara,s earthquakes observations in Türkiye Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Canbay, Erdem; Muka, Norgen; Akpinar, Ugur; Tuncay, Kağan; Yurtseven, Firat; Inanc, Mustafa Anil; Aktas, Saime Selin; Kadas, Koray; Canbolat, Afsin (2025-11-12) The two simultaneous earthquakes occurred in 2023 leading to over 50 000 casualties in more than 250 thousand collapsed and heavily damaged buildings in T & uuml;rkiye. Despite modernizing the seismic code regularly, it ha...
Computational Modelling of Damage Progression in Unreinforced Masonry Walls via DEM Pulatsu, Bora; Tuncay, Kağan (2024-05-01) Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are the common load-bearing elements for old masonry buildings and heritage structures. As witnessed from the past and recent earthquakes, URM walls may demonstrate various collapse mechani...
Maximum Drift Demands of Earthquake Damaged Reinforced Concrete Columns Based on Residual Flexure Cracks Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Binici, Barış; AKTAŞ, SAİME SELİN; Hendriks, Max A. N.; Tuncay, Kağan (2024-01-01) Assessment of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures after an earthquake is a challenging task that must somehow relate qualitative and quantitative observations in the plastic hinge regions and the associated residu...
Analysis and prediction of masonry wallette strength under combined compression-bending via stochastic computational modeling Gonen, Semih; Pulatsu, Bora; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Lemos, José V.; Tuncay, Kağan; Erduran, Emrah (2023-03-01) The out-of-plane flexural bending capacity of masonry is a fundamental property for understanding the behavior of masonry structures. This study investigates the behavior of unreinforced masonry wallettes subjected to comb...
Macro-Block and DEM-Based Probabilistic Analysis to Predict In-Plane Structural Behavior of URM Pier–Spandrel Systems Pulatsu, Bora; Gonen, Semih; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Tuncay, Kağan (2023-01-01) In the last several decades, computational modeling of unreinforced masonry buildings has been a subject of interest in the field of structural and conservation engineering. Different computational modeling techniques are ...
Probabilistic approach to assess URM walls with openings using discrete rigid block analysis (D-RBA) Pulatsu, Bora; Gonen, Semih; Parisi, Fulvio; Erdogmus, Ece; Tuncay, Kağan; Funari, Marco Francesco; Lourenco, Paulo B. (2022-12-01) This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational modeling framework using the discrete element met...
A method to estimate traffic penetration rates of commercial floating car data using speed information Altintasi, Oruc; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-08-05) Floating Car Data (FCD) are being increasingly used as an alternative traffic data source due to its lower cost and high coverage area. FCD can be obtained by tracking vehicle trajectories individually or by processing mul...
A modified applied element model for the simulation of plain concrete behaviour Soysal, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-08-01) A modified applied element model to simulate the behaviour of plain concrete continuum structures including discrete cracking is proposed in this study. In the classical applied element model, Poisson effects are fully ign...
Identifying buildings with high collapse risk based on samos earthquake damage inventory in Izmir Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Canbay, Erdem; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-01-01) Samos Earthquake caused the collapse of about fifty buildings in Izmir city center, resulting in over 120 fatalities. The response spectra of the ground motions at the soft soil sites in Izmir revealed that the spectral ac...
