Ground motion intensity parameters are used to express the relationship between expected structural damage and the seismic forces imposed. The graphical representation of damage probability as a function of ground motion intensity leads to fragility curves that are generally used in loss estimation studies. The most typical parameters used to represent the ground motion intensity are peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, spectral acceleration, and spectral displacement. Other parameters obtained from the ground motion trace and response spectra have been recommended in literature, but no consensus on which intensity parameter to use exists because of the various drawbacks of these ground motion intensities. A new spectrum ground motion intensity parameter that relies on the expected elongated period of the structure under seismic forces has been developed. This intensity measure takes into account the approximate yield capacity of the structure and the area between the fundamental and elongated period of the structure under the elastic response spectrum of the given ground motion. The correlation of this intensity measure with the calculated demand parameter, maximum interstory drift in our case, is investigated for a set of 100 ground motion records in order to verify its accuracy. This intensity measure is primarily proposed for the selection of ground motions to be used for the analyses of individual structures that are desired to respond at various levels of nonlinearity.

Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading Sarıtaş, Afşin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01) Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the hysteretic behavior of these members. The model is based on a three-field variational formulation with independent displacement, stress, and strain fields. The displacement field is based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The nonlinear response of the element is derived from the section inte...
Generalized interstory drift spectrum Miranda, E; Akkar, SD (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-06-01) The recently developed drift spectrum is extended to buildings that do not deform laterally like pure shear beams. Similarly to Iwan's drift spectrum, the proposed generalized interstory drift spectrum uses a continuous linear-elastic model to obtain estimates of interstory drift demands in buildings. However, the generalized interstory drift spectrum is based on a continuous model that consists of a combination of a flexural beam and a shear beam, rather than only a shear beam. By modifying one parameter t...
Drift estimates in frame buildings subjected to near-fault ground motions Akkar, S; Yazgan, U; Gulkan, P (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-07-01) A simple procedure to estimate the local displacement demands in regular frame-type structures that respond in elastic limits is described. Given the spectral displacement and beam-to-column stiffness ratio. the procedure estimates the maximum ground story and maximum interstory drifts along the height of the structure. A total of 145 near-fault ground motions recorded oil dense-to-firm soil sites are used for the evaluation of the procedure. The approximate drift demands Computed front this procedure and (...
Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01) Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
