The engineering analysis for determining the remaining seismic capacity of buildings following earthquakes requires performing structural calculations, observations of the actual damage, and applying extensive engineering judgment. Additionally, the analysis should often be performed under stringent time requirements. This study identifies the information requirements for representing the damage information and performing the visual damage assessment of structural walls. The damage descriptions for seven common damage modes of structural walls were studied by employing the affinity diagramming method. The study showed that the information required to represent the damaged conditions can be grouped under five broad categories and using seventeen damage parameters. A sensitivity analysis showed that the damage parameters have varying degrees of importance. The results of the study can be used to develop formal representation of damage information in information models and potentially allow better allocation of data collection time in the field.

Evaluation of Changing Building Characteristics in Turkey Ay, Bekir Özer; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2016-09-23) Seismic risk combines earthquake induced hazard with structural response and determines loss that is equaled or exceeded over some time period. In this sense, it is of prime importance to utilize proper earthquake loss models that are able to consider local characteristics of building stock in a realistic way. The aim of this study is to compile changing characteristics of Turkish buildings that is believed to be necessary to develop representative models for loss estimations. Accordingly, a statistical sur...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01) This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...
Evaluation and selection of ground motion intensity measures for nonlinear seismic demand and fragility analysis of MDOF systems Kadaş, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-5-21) In performance-based seismic design methodology, intensity measures are thought to be key parameters of ground motion records that relate the seismic hazard levels with the structural response or damage. Therefore, it is important to identify efficient intensity measures that are capable of reducing the variability in seismic demand predictions. There exist several simple-to-advanced scalar and vector ground motion intensity measures; however, the literature is limited in the number of comparative studies i...
Mathematical modeling of steam-assisted gravity drainage Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2006-03-01) A mathematical model for gravity drainage in heavy-oil reservoirs and tar sands during steam injection in linear geometry is proposed. The mathematical model is based on experimental observations that the steam zone shape is an inverted triangle with the vertex fixed at the bottom production well. Both temperature and asphaltene content dependence of viscosity of the drained heavy oil and their impact on heavy oil production are considered. The developed model has been validated using experimental data pres...
Explicit nonlinear analysis for quasi-static behavior of frame structures with pid control and mass scaling Kocamaz, Korhan; Tuncay, Kağan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Performance-based seismic design of reinforced concrete frame systems requires time history analysis of the structural model under earthquake loads and estimation of damage in the members. Time history analysis of these structures is usually performed using implicit time integration methods. For the implicit integration methods, divergence of the solution is typically treated as the onset of collapse of modelled system. In this study, a nonlinear analysis platform that enables the analysis of the effect of ...
