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 maximum value during dynamic response to a seismic excitation. The proposed generalized pushover analysis does not suffer from the statistical combination of inelastic modal responses obtained separately. The results obtained from building frames have demonstrated that generalized pushover analysis is successful in estimating maximum member deformations and member forces with reference to nonlinear response history analysis.

Practical implementation of generalized pushover analysis for multimodal pushover analysis Alıcı, Fırat Soner; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2015-08-29) A generalized pushover analysis procedure was previously developed for estimating the inelastic seismic response of structures under earthquake ground excitations. The procedure consists of applying different generalized force vectors separately for each story to the structure in an incremental form with increasing amplitude, until an estimated target interstory drift demand is obtained. A generalized force vector is expressed as a combination of modal forces, and simulates the instantaneous force distribut...
Hybrid-Empirical Ground Motion Estimations for Georgia Tsereteli, Nino; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Hamzehloo, Hossein (2016-10-01) Ground motion prediction equations are essential for several purposes ranging from seismic design and analysis to probabilistic seismic hazard assessment. In seismically active regions without sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models, hybrid models become vital. Georgia does not have sufficiently strong ground motion data to build empirical models. In this study, we have applied the host-totarget method in two regions in Georgia with different source mechanisms. According to the tect...
Comparison of ASCE/SEI Standard and modal pushover-based ground motion scaling procedures for pre-tensioned concrete bridges Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (2017-01-01) 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, name...
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...
Analysis Methods for the Investigation of the Seismic Response of Concrete Dams Aldemir, Alper; Yilmazturk, Sema Melek; Yucel, Ali Riza; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın; Akman, Altug (2015-01-01) The consideratiOn of the dam-foundation-reservoir interaction is extremely important for estimating the seismic response of concrete gravity dams. Moreover, nonlinear analysis may be required for determining the possible risk associated with dams. In order to address these issues, DSI recently published the "Guidelines for Seismic Design of Concrete Dams". Authors who have contributed to the preparation of this document provide a perspective on the seismic safety/design of concrete dams and structural analy...
