The effect of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) infill walls on the structural system dynamics of a two-story reinforced concrete building is investigated using its finite element structural model, which is calibrated to simulate the acceleration-frequency response curves from its forced vibration test. The model incorporating the AAC infill walls by equivalent diagonal struts captures the increase in lateral stiffness of the building and the torsional motions induced due to the asymmetrically placed AAC infill walls. A higher strut width coefficient than in ASCE/SEI 41-06 is recommended to model the stiffness of the AAC infill walls in the elastic range.

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...
Effect of skew on live load distribution in integral bridges Erol, Mehmet Ali; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2009) Structural analysis of highway bridges using complicated 3-D FEMs to determine live load effects in bridge components is possible due to the readily available computational tools in design offices. However, building such complicated 3-D FEMs is tedious and time consuming. Accordingly, most design engineers prefer using simplified 2-D structural models of the bridge and live load distribution equations (LLDEs) available in current bridge design codes to determine live load effects in bridge components. Basic...
AMBIENT VIBRATION RECORDS IN REPRODUCING THE FORCED VIBRATION TEST RESULTS OF A FOUR-STORY REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDING WITH TWO BASEMENT FLOORS Çelik, Ozan Cem (2015-05-14) In forced vibration testing, a vibration generator bolted to one of the top floors excites the building with a known sinusoidal force. Sweeping the frequency of the vibration generator, steady-state structural responses are recorded at each operated frequency by accelerometers deployed throughout the building. Dynamic properties of the structural system are then identified from acceleration-frequency response curves by using well-established methods in the structural dynamics area, which do not require soph...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01) In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Effect of out-of-plane behavior on seismic fragility of masonry buildings in Turkey Ceran, Hasan Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-01) This study focuses on the evaluation of seismic safety of unreinforced masonry buildings in Turkey by using fragility curves generated for two behavior modes of load bearing walls: in-plane and out-of-plane. During generation of fragility curves, a force-based approach has been used. There exist two limit states in terms of base shear strength for in-plane behavior mode and flexural strength for out-of-plane behavior mode. To assess the seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry buildings in Turkey, frag...
