Complex analysis methods such as non-linear time-history analyses (NTHA) are often required for the design of non-standard bridges. The selection of the ground motions for the NTHA is a crucial task as the results of the analyses show a wide variability according to the selected records. In order to predict the demand in accordance with the seismic hazard conditions of the site, the selected motions are usually modified by scaling procedures. Within this context, the performance of two scaling methods, namely the Modal Pushover Based Scaling (MPS) and ASCE/SEI procedures, are compared for the NTHA of a large bridge, the Demirtas Viaduct (longitude 29.10 degrees, latitude 40.28 degrees), in this study. The system comprised of 28 spans was idealised with two different analytical models in order to assess the effect of the modelling on the scaling procedures results. The effects of the hazard level on the scaling results were evaluated. The required number of motions for conducting effective analyses, i.e. the minimum number of motions for estimating the target goals, was investigated at different hazard levels. MPS reduced the dispersion considerably more than the ASCE scaling, indicating sets can be formed with fewer motions to predict the target levels.

COMPARISON OF ASCE/SEI STANDARD (2010) AND MODAL PUSHOVER BASED GROUND MOTION SCALING PROCEDURES FOR PRE-TENSIONED CONCRETE BRIDGES Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (null; 2017-11-01) The seismic design and evaluation of large bridges is a demanding task owing to the significant size and the structural characteristics of these systems. Although elastic analysis methods are regarded as sufficient for common, uncritical bridges; complex analysis methods such as non-linear time history analysis (NTHA) are often required for non-standard and/or important bridges. The selection of the ground motions that will be used in non-linear time history analysis is a crucial task in this regard as the ...
Multi-Mode Pushover Analysis with Generalized Force Vectors Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2009-07-01) A generalized pushover analysis procedure is developed for estimating the inelastic seismic response of structures under earthquake ground excitations. The procedure comprises applying a generalized force vector to the structure in an incremental form with increasing amplitude until a prescribed seismic demand is attained. A generalized force vector is expressed as a combination of modal forces, and simulates the instantaneous force distribution acting on the system when a given interstory drift reaches its...
Development of an incompressible navier-stokes solver with alternating cell direction implicit method on structured and unstructured quadrilateral grids Baş, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007) In this research, the Alternating Cell Direction Implicit method is used in temporal discretisation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and compared with the well known and widely used Point Gauss Seidel scheme on structured and quadrilateral unstructured meshes. A two dimensional, laminar and incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is developed for this purpose using the artificial compressibility formulation. The developed solver is used to obtain steady-state solutions with implicit time stepping m...
Assessment of synthetic ground motion records obtained from alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-storey frame buildings: A case study Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02) Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
FORCED HARMONIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR STRUCTURES USING DESCRIBING FUNCTIONS TANRIKULU, O; KURAN, B; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; IMREGUN, M (1993-07-01) The dynamic response of multiple-degree-of-freedom nonlinear structures is usually determined by numerical integration of the equations of motion, an approach which is computationally very expensive for steady-state response analysis of large structures. In this paper, an alternative semianalytical quasilinear method based on the describing function formulation is proposed for the harmonic response analysis of structures with symmetrical nonlinearities. The equations of motion are converted to a set of nonl...
