A modified seismic design concept is introduced for precast concrete frames in which beam plastic hinges with reduced yield capacities are constructed away from the precast beam-column connections arranged at the column faces. Plastic hinge location and yield capacity are employed as the basic parameters of an analytical survey in which the inelastic dynamic responses of a conventional precast frame and its modified counterparts are calculated and compared under two earthquake excitations by using a general purpose computer program for dynamic analysis of inelastic frames [1, 2]. An optimum design is obtained by providing plastic hinges on precast beams located at one depth away from the beam ends, in which primary (negative) bending moment yield capacities are reduced between one-third and one-quarter of the beam design end moments. With such plastic hinge configurations, precast beam-column connections at the column faces can be designed to remain elastic under strong earthquake excitations.

A remark on the state-space concept applied to bending, buckling and free vibration of composite laminates Khdeir, AA (1996-06-03) The present study shows that the state-space concept used to generate exact solutions for various boundary conditions for bending, buckling and free vibration of composite laminates, can be modified easily and exactly and has no drawback when the laminate thickness is reduced. Numerical results for central deflections, axial stresses, transverse shear stresses, critical buckling loads and natural frequencies of cross-ply laminated plates are obtained using the classical, first- and third-order theories for ...
Experimental investigation of uplift on seismic base isolators / Erkakan, Evren; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Elastomeric rubber bearings reinforced with steel shims, are used to provide structural support in vertical direction and allow horizontal movements for the structure subjected to earthquake and thermal loads. Generally, it is known that tensile stress or uplift may occur when the structure is subjected to strong ground motion or structure have large height-to-width aspect ratio to develop a stability concern subjected to lateral loads. The main focus of this research is to investigate the change in charact...
Vibration of beams with multiple open cracks subjected to axial force Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2005-10) A new method is proposed to obtain the eigenfrequencies and mode shapes of beams containing multiple cracks and subjected to axial force. Cracks are assumed to introduce local flexibility changes and are modeled as rotational springs. The method uses one set of end conditions as initial parameters for determining the mode shape functions. Satisfying the continuity and jump conditions at crack locations, mode shape functions of the remaining parts are determined. Other set of boundary conditions yields a sec...
Analysis and optimization of cylindrical structures manufactured by automated fiber placement technique Güldü, Sedat; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) is a highly automated manufacturing process which has made it possible to manufacture composite parts utilizing curved tow paths resulting in variable stiffness composite structures. During the manufacturing of the composite structures with the automated fiber placement machines, fiber orientation angle can be changed according to the specific design needs. Therefore, variable fiber orientation can be sought in an optimization framework for favorable structural response. The ...
Optimizing Single-Span Steel Truss Bridges with Simulated Annealing Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2010-11-01) This study presents applications of a simulated annealing integrated solution algorithm to the optimum design of single-span steel truss bridges subjected to gravity loadings. In the optimum design process of a bridge the members are sized simultaneously as the coordinates of the upper chord nodes are determined such that the least design weight is attained for the structure. The design constraints and limitations are imposed in accordance with serviceability and strength provisions of ASD-AISC (Allowable S...
