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...
Preface for the special issue on February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş-Türkiye earthquakes (Mw=7.8 and 7.5): reconnaissance missions and first observations Çetin, Kemal Önder; Moss, Robb E. S.; Yakut, Ahmet (2025-02-01)
Effect of Wall Size on the Rotation Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Structural Walls Kazaz, İlker; Sertkaya, Mahinur; Yakut, Ahmet (2024-04-01) The limiting deformations of RC members used in seismic design and assessment are mainly based on experimental measurements, for which the lack of structural wall tests of large sizes restricts our knowledge on the deforma...
Out-Of-Plane Behavior of Infill Walls Under Seismic Loads Aktaş, S.S.; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Canbay, Erdem (2024-01-01) The seismic capacity and response of unreinforced infill walls have been ignored until realizing the importance of these members during many seismic events and their aftermaths. The performed study aims to obtain seismic b...
Influence of Ground Motion Scaling Methods on Seismic Response of Bridges Gözütok, M.; Yakut, Ahmet; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga (2024-01-01) In engineering practice in Türkiye, there are three main codes employed for bridge design which are AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications for Bridge Design, Eurocodes and Turkish Earthquake Specification for Bridges. These cod...
Regression-based Evaluation of Novel Intensity Measures under Alternative Ground Motion Record Sets KADAŞ, KORAY; Yakut, Ahmet (2024-01-01) Intensity measures are generally considered as the fundamental properties of strong ground motion records and are widely utilized in performance-based seismic design methodology to relate the seismic hazard levels to the s...
Performance-based design optimization of steel moment frames using capacity controlled search algorithm: a comparison with force-based design approach Eser, Hasan; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Yakut, Ahmet; Gholizadeh, Saeed (2023-10-01) The capacity controlled search (CCS) method, which is a recently developed design-driven search algo-rithm, is implemented for performance-based design optimization (PBDO) of steel moment frames. It is shown that the CCS m...
Ülkemizdeki Riskli Yapıların Genel Özellikleri ve Deprem Performansı Yakut, Ahmet; Binici, Barış (2023-07-01) Ülkemizde yer alan yapı stokunun büyük bir çoğunluğunu az-orta katlı betonarme (BA) yapılar meydana getirmektedir. BA yapı stokumuzun yaklaşık yüzde 50’sinin 2000 yılı öncesinde yapıldığı ve bu nedenle de 1998 ve sonrasınd...
In-plane seismic performance of different infill wall systems in ductile reinforced concrete frames Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet (2023-01-01) The seismic response of infilled frames draws considerable interest in the earthquake engineering community for the last decades. Whilst the early studies were concerned with added lateral stiffness and strength, recent st...
Performance of RC buildings after Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes: lessons toward performance based design Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; KADAŞ, KORAY; Demirel, Ozan; AKPINAR, UĞUR; Canbolat, Afsin; YURTSEVEN, FIRAT; ÖZTAŞKIN, ORKUN; Aktas, Selin; Canbay, Erdem (2023-01-01) Two simultaneous earthquakes occurred in the Kahramanmaraş-Pazarcık and Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan districts of Turkey on February 6, 2023, and with magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6, respectively. These events caused the highest esti...
