This paper presents details of the numerical examination and performance comparison of steel buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) designed with different response modification factors, using the next-generation performance assessment approach. Archetypal BRBF designs were conducted following the US provisions and considering response factors equal to or less than the codified limit. The archetypical buildings were subjected to ground-motions acquired from the FEMA P695 Far-Field record-set and scaled to MCE and DBE intensity levels. The FEMA P-58 performance assessment procedure was used to evaluate the results. The interstory drift ratio, residual interstory drift ratio, and peak story acceleration demands were determined and converted to performance quantities by using the Performance Assessment Calculation Tool (PACT). The repair time, probabilistic distribution of repair cost, unsafe placard probabilities, and irreparable residual drift probabilities were obtained, and a comparative study of response modification factors in terms of these results was conducted. The results show that designs with higher response factors result in higher repair costs, due to the damage of drift sensitive components and high residual drifts. On the other hand, BRBFs designed with lower response factors were found to experience higher accelerations, which result in an increase in the repair cost for acceleration sensitive components. An ideal response factor is proposed herein based on the consequence measures. The study was complemented by investigating the behavior of self-centering BRBFs and comparing their performance with those of conventional BRBFs.

Performance comparison of brbfs designed using different response modification factors Güner, Tuğberk; Topkaya, Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-9) In this study, buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) designed with various response modification factors were examined by numerical analysis and their performances were compared using the next-generation performance assessment approach. Three, six, and nine-story archetypes (low to medium-rise) with response modification factors in the range of 1 to 8 were designed using ASCE7-16, AISC 341-16, and AISC 360-16 specifications. A total of 24 archetypes were analyzed using nonlinear dynamic analysis procedu...
Dynamic characteristics and performance assessment of reinforced concrete structural walls Kazaz, İlker; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) The analytical tools used in displacement based design and assessment procedures require accurate strain limits to define the performance levels. Additionally, recently proposed changes to modeling and acceptance criteria in seismic regulations for both flexure and shear dominated reinforced concrete structural walls proves that a comprehensive study is required for improved limit state definitions and their corresponding values. This is due to limitations in the experimental setups, such that most previous...
Load rating of concrete-deck-on-steel-stringer bridges using field-calibrated 2D-grid models Türer, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) This paper presents and discusses issues related to structural identification, calibrated model-based load rating, and sensitivity of rating to the analytical model, along with experimental studies conducted on an existing concrete-deck-on-steel-stringer bridge. The proposed model-updating procedure uses collected dynamic data (mode shapes, modal frequencies, and order of modes) as well as static deformed shape information. Two-dimensional (2D) grid models were developed to successfully simulate the transve...
Numerical studies on eccentrically braced frames Kuşyılmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) Numerical studies were performed on eccentrically steel braced frames to ascertain seismic performance factors and to examine dynamic characteristics of eccentrically braced frames (EBF). Pursuant to this goal a computer program which facilitates EBF designs was developed. In the first phase, the approximate period formula given in ASCE7-10 was evaluated and a technique based on global deformation characteristics was developed to improve the fundamental period estimates for EBFs. The results indicate that t...
Parameter optimization on compressive strength of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete Ayan, E.; Saatcioglu, Oe.; Turanlı, Lutfullah (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) This paper illustrates parameter optimization of compressive strength of steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete (SFRHSC) by statistical design and analysis of experiments. Among several factors affecting the compressive strength, five parameters that maximize all of the responses have been chosen as the most important ones as age of testing, binder type, binder amount, curing type and steel fiber volume fraction. Taguchi analysis techniques have been used to evaluate L-27 (3(13)) Taguchi's orthogonal...
