Energy-based hysteresis and damage models for deteriorating systems

2004-01-01
The low-cycle fatigue model presented in the companion paper is employed for developing hysteresis and damage models for deteriorating systems. The hysteresis model performs strength reduction at a current displacement cycle by evaluating the loss in the energy dissipation capacity along the completed displacement path. Hence it is completely memory dependent. Pinching is accounted for implicitly by a reduced energy dissipation capacity in a displacement cycle. The model predicts the experimental results obtained from variable-amplitude tests reasonably well. Response analysis under earthquake excitations reveals that both the maximum displacements and the number of large-amplitude displacement response cycles increase significantly with the reduction in energy dissipation capacity, resulting in higher damage. Damage is defined as the deterioration in the effective stiffness of a displacement cycle, which is in turn related to the reduction in the energy dissipation capacity. A simple damage function is developed accordingly, consisting of displacement and fatigue components. It is observed that the fatigue component of damage is more significant than the displacement component for deteriorating systems under ground motions with significant effective durations.

Seismic energy dissipation in deteriorating systems through low-cycle fatigue
Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2004-01-01)
Energy dissipation characteristics of structural members which exhibit both strength and stiffness deterioration under imposed displacement reversals are investigated. In the experimental part, 17 reinforced concrete beam specimens were tested under constant and variable amplitude inelastic displacement cycles. The constant-amplitude tests were employed to determine the low-cycle fatigue behaviour of specimens where the imposed displacement amplitude was the major variable. A two-parameter fatigue model was...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25)
This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Digital elevation model (DEM) generation and accuracy assessment from ASTER stereo data
SAN, BEKİR TANER; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Informa UK Limited, 2005-11-20)
Digital elevation models (DEM) are the indispensable quantitative environmental variable in most of the research studies in remote sensing. The improvement of sensor and satellite imaging technologies enabled the researchers to generate DEM using remotely sensed data. These data can be started to use as not only the two-dimensional (2-D) but also three-dimensional (3-D) information sources with usage of the DEM. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is one of the sensor ...
Comparison of 2D versus 3D modeling approaches for the analysis of the concrete faced rock-fill Cokal Dam
Arıcı, Yalın (Wiley, 2013-12-01)
This paper's primary purpose is to compare the 2D and 3D analysis methodologies in investigating the performance of a concrete faced rock-fill dams under dynamic loading conditions. The state of stress on the face plate was obtained in both cases using a total strain based crack model to predict the spreading of cracks on the plate and the corresponding crack widths. Results of the 2D and 3D analyses agree well. Although significantly more demanding, 3D analyses have the advantage of predicting the followin...
EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION CHARACTERISTICS AND SEISMIC ENERGY-DISSIPATION
Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 1995-09-01)
The sensitivity of seismic energy dissipation to ground motion and system characteristics is assessed. It is found that peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity to acceleration (V/A), dominant period of ground excitation and effective response duration are closely correlated with the energy dissipated by a SDOF system. Ductility ratio and damping ratio have no significant influence on the energy dissipation. An energy dissipation index is proposed for measuring the damage potential of earthquake groun...
