Engineering analysis to quantify the effects of earthquake forces on the structural strength of components requires determining the damage mode and severity of the components. The analysis requires strength computations and visual damage assessments, which are information intensive, potentially error-prone, and slow. This study develops a building-information-modeling (BIM) based approach to support the engineering analysis of reinforced concrete structures. In the proposed approach, the damage information is represented along with the geometric, topological, and structural information. Transformation and reasoning mechanisms are proposed to utilize the information contained in the BIM to perform strength analysis and visual assessment tasks. The approach is validated on a case study building, which contains 42 damaged piers and spandrels.

Seismic behavior and improvement of autoclaved aerated concrete infill walls Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Uzgan, Ugur; Eryurtlu, Zafer; Bulbul, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-15) Performance of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames is generally questionable under the combined action of in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands. Despite the vast number of tests investigating the behavior of brick masonry infill walls in RC frames, past research is limited for infill walls made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. In the first part of the study, six single-bay single-story half-scaled RC frames were tested under the action of in-plane cyclic displacement excursions a...
Analysis of Three Indoor Localization Technologies for Supporting Operations and Maintenance Field Tasks Taneja, Saurabh; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akinci, Burcu; Garrett, James H.; Soibelman, Lucio; East, E. William (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-11-01) Locating building components that need to be worked on during maintenance tasks is critical for timely repair of the component and mitigation of the damage. The process of locating a component or a person in a facility is called indoor localization. The objective of this research study is to analyze the feasibility of three indoor localization technologies for supporting operations and maintenance (O&M) field tasks; namely, wireless local area network (WLAN), radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, and ...
Seismic retrofitting of highway bridges in Illinois using friction pendulum seismic isolation bearings and modeling procedures Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2003-07-01) In this paper, the economical and structural efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for retrofitting typical seismically vulnerable bridges in the State of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a bridge was carefully selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to represent typical seismically vulnerable bridges commonly used in the State of Illinois. A comprehensive structural model of the bridge was first constructed for seismic analysis. An iterative multi-mode response spectrum ...
Development and analytical verification of an inelastic reinforced concrete joint model Unal, Mehmet; Burak Bakır, Burcu (Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) Previous experimental research indicated that beam-to-column connections of reinforced concrete (RC) moment resisting frame structures experience considerable deformations under earthquake loading and these deformations have a major contribution to the story drift of the building. In current analysis and design applications, however, the connection regions are generally modeled as rigid zones and the inelastic behavior of the joint is not considered. This assumption gives rise to an underestimation of the s...
Improving seismic performance of deficient reinforced concrete columns using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (Elsevier BV, 2008-06-01) Reinforced concrete columns lacking transverse reinforcing steel do not possess necessary ductility to dissipate seismic energy during a major earthquake. The study reported herein investigates the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wrapping as a method of retrofitting nonductile square reinforced concrete columns with low strength concrete and plain bars. Five specimens representative of transverse steel deficient flexure dominated columns in existing buildings were tested under lateral cyclic d...
