A unified assessment of elastic and inelastic response spectra is presented. The effects of various system and excitation parameters on spectral response are investigated. Different spectral forms such as strength spectra, ductility reduction spectra, and damping reduction spectra are employed as graphical tools in the analytical evaluation. The applicability of the expressions for elastic and inelastic response spectra that are employed in seismic design codes is tested by using an ensemble of 21 earthquake accelerograms, all recorded on firm ground along the west coast of North America. New expressions are derived in order to evaluate the coupled effects of damping and ductility ratios on inelastic response spectra.

An equivalent linearization procedure for seismic response prediction of mdof systems Günay, Mehmet Selim; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Nonlinear response history analysis is accepted as the most accurate analytical tool for seismic response determination. However, accurate estimation of displacement responses using conceptually simple, approximate analysis procedures is preferable, since there are shortcomings in the application of nonlinear response history analysis resulting from its complexity. An equivalent linearization procedure, which utilizes the familiar response spectrum analysis as the analysis tool and benefits from the capacit...
Risk assessment of international construction projects using the analytic network process Bu-Qammaz, Amani Suliman; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2009-07-01) In this study, an analytic network process (ANP), which can handle the interrelations between risk related factors, is proposed as a reliable technique for measuring the level of risk associated with international construction projects. Within this context, ANP is used to derive the relative priorities of risk factors as an input to a decision support tool, which can be utilized during bidding decisions. The decision support tool may help a decision maker to estimate the level of risk so that alternative pr...
Analytical formulation of maximum length limits of integral bridges on cohesive soils Dicleli, Murat (Canadian Science Publishing, 2005-08-01) This paper presents an analytical approach for predicting the length limits of integral bridges built on cohesive soils based on the flexural strength of the abutments and the low cycle fatigue performance of the steel H-piles at the abutments under cyclic thermal loading. First, H-piles that can accommodate large inelastic deformations are determined considering their local buckling instability. Then, a damage model is used to determine the maximum cyclic deformations that such piles can sustain. Next, non...
A Methodology for Optimal Layout Design of Pressure Cells for Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams Arı, Onur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01) In this study, a methodology for optimal layout design of pressure cells for concrete faced rockfill dams is developed. A representative dimensionless stress distribution model was formed for obtaining the magnitudes and location of different stress zones as a function of dam height. This information enabled development of a procedure for proper location and the number of pressure cells throughout the dam body. A vertical placement algorithm based on error minimization was first developed, which is followed...
Evaluation of seismic response modification factors for steel frames by non-linear analysis Bakır, Serhan; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In this study steel framing systems are investigated with regards to their lateral load carrying capacity and in this context seismic response modification factors of individual systems are analyzed. Numerous load resisting layouts, such as different bracing systems and un-braced moment resisting frames with various bay and story configurations are designed and evaluated in a parametric fashion. Three types of beam to column connection conditions are incorporated in evaluation process. Frames, designed acco...
