Thousands of RC buildings were severely damaged or collapsed in Turkey during the past major earthquakes due to various deficiencies. This has initiated extensive experimental studies on strengthening methods. In this study, two 1/3-scale, two-story, three-bay undamaged frames were tested to compare two types of strengthening techniques experimentally. Both undamaged frames were designed such that they had the common deficiencies of existing buildings in Turkey. One of the frames was strengthened with RC infill while the other frame was strengthened with CFRP strengthened hollow clay blocks. The test specimens were subjected to reversed cyclic quasi-static loading. To measure the internal forces at the base of exterior columns special transducers were used. Strength, stiffness, and story drifts of the test specimens were evaluated. It is observed that both strengthened frames behaved similarly under reversed cyclic lateral loading.

Developing an innovative architectural and structural solution for seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete residential buildings Toker, Saadet; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Architecture (2004) The recent earthquakes in Turkey have shown the poor seismic performance of reinforced concrete. This led to widespread utilization of several strengthening methods, each of which is convenient in different aspects. However, what is required to apply any of these methods is to evacuate the building in question since the interruptions are mostly within the building and to the structural members. This study proposes a method for external strengthening of typical five storey reinforced concrete buildings that ...
Re-examination of damage distribution in Adapazari: Geotechnical considerations Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-01) The role of ground conditions in damage distribution patterns of buildings in the city of Adapazari during the 17 August 1999 Izmit (Kocaeli) earthquake (M-w 7.4) is investigated. Damage was concentrated in the central districts of the city over the alluvial basin where four to seven-story reinforced concrete buildings were most adversely affected. Two distinct and mutually exclusive modes of building damage were observed on the alluvium: structural system failures due to strong ground shaking, and foundati...
Performance-based seismic rehabilitation of damaged reinforced concrete buildings Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Gunay, MS (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-10-01) A building stock consisting of 130 medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged moderately during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. These buildings were rehabilitated by using simple, cost-effective methods where the newly added shear walls comprised the primary lateral load resisting system. In the presented study, different seismic performance evaluation procedures are tested first on the samples of damaged buildings for predicting their observed performances. Then the expected performances of t...
An evaluation of Guldurcek dam response during 6 June 2000 orta earthquake Ozkan, MY; Ozyazicioglu, M; Aksar, UD (Elsevier BV, 2006-05-01) Guldurcek dam located in the central Anatolia was subjected to longitudinal cracks of not wider than 2 cm during 6 June 2000 Orta earthquake. In this study, a brief account of the 6 June 2000 Orta earthquake is given and the results of dynamic FEM analyses of the dam, incorporating the non-linear soil properties under six selected base motions, are presented. Of the six base motions used in the analyses, three have been modified from the European strong motion database having similar ground motion parameter...
Mechanical properties of cfrp anchorages Özdemir, Gökhan; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Due to inadequate lateral stiffness, many reinforced concrete buildings are highly damaged or collapsed in Turkey after the major earthquake. To improve the behavior of such buildings and to prevent them from collapse, repair and/or strengthening of some reinforced concrete elements is required. One of the strengthening techniques is the use of CFRP sheets on the existing hollow brick masonry infill. While using the CFRP sheets their attachment to both structural and non-structural members are provided by C...
