A two-story, three-bay RC frame with code incompliant seismic design and detailing is tested using continuous pseudodynamic test method for three scale levels of Duzce ground motion. The ground motion produced minimum, significant, and severe damage states on the test structure. Diagonal cracking of the infill wall, column damage in the form of cover spalling and rebar buckling, and complete disintegration of the infill wall were the important observed damage events for the three scale levels, respectively. Nonlinear time history analyses were able to estimate the story displacement response with reasonable accuracy. The importance of element removal for near collapse damage state is unfolded. Tracing the local engineering demand parameters such as strains and curvature was found to be extremely difficult. [DOI: 10.1193/1.3609876]

Seismic Performance Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with a Hybrid Modeling Approach Aldemir, Alper; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Demirel, I. Ozan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (SAGE Publications, 2013-02-01) This study proposes a hybrid modeling approach for the seismic performance assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings. The method combines finite-element and equivalent-frame approaches such that more powerful features of each approach are utilized. The finite-element approach is used to model the masonry components of different geometrical and material characteristics with a high level of accuracy. Then this numerically simulated database is used in the analytical modeling of masonry buildings with equiv...
Site-Specific Design Spectra for Vertical Ground Motion Gülerce, Zeynep (SAGE Publications, 2011-11-01) This paper contains ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) for the vertical-to-horizontal spectral acceleration (V/H) ratio, and the methods for constructing vertical design spectra that are consistent with the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment results for the horizontal ground motion component. The GMPEs for V/H ratio consistent with the horizontal GMPE of Abrahamson and Silva (2008) are derived using the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center's Next Generation of Ground-Motion Attenuatio...
Elastic and Inelastic Near-Fault Input Energy Spectra Alici, F. Soner; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (SAGE Publications, 2018-05-01) The main purpose of this study is to develop a reliable model for predicting the input energy spectra of near-fault ground motions for linear elastic and inelastic systems, and to evaluate the effect of damping and lateral strength on energy dissipation demands. An attenuation model has been developed through one-stage nonlinear regression analysis. Comparative results revealed that near-fault ground motions have significantly larger energy dissipation demands, which are very sensitive to earthquake magnitu...
CPT-based probabilistic and deterministic assessment of in situ seismic soil liquefaction potential Moss, R. E. S.; Seed, R. B.; Kayen, R. E.; Stewart, J. P.; Kiureghian, A. Der; Çetin, Kemal Önder (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-08-01) This paper presents a complete methodology for both probabilistic and deterministic assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential based on the cone penetration test (CPT). A comprehensive worldwide set of CPT-based liquefaction field case histories were compiled and back analyzed, and the data then used to develop probabilistic triggering correlations. Issues investigated in this study include improved normalization of CPT resistance measurements for the influence of effective overburden stre...
Performance of seismic-isolated bridges in relation to near-fault ground-motion and isolator characteristics Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-11-01) This paper investigates the performance of seismic-Isolated bridges (SIBs) subjected to near-fault (NF) earthquakes with forward rupture directivity effect (FRDE) in relation to the isolator, substructure, and NF earthquake properties, and examines some critical design clauses in AASHTO's Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design. It is found that the SIB response is a function of the number of velocity pulses, magnitude of the NF ground motion, and distance from the fault. Particularly, a reasonabl...
