In the early structures at the beginning of the 20th century, structural members were assumed to carry primarily the gravity loads. Today, however, by the advances in structural design/systems and high-strength materials, building weight is reduced, and slenderness is increased, which necessitates taking into consideration mainly the lateral loads such as wind and earthquake. Understandably, especially for the tall buildings, as the slenderness, and so the flexibility increases, buildings suffer from the lateral loads resulting from wind and earthquake more and more. As a general rule, when other things being equal, the taller the building, the more necessary it is to identify the proper structural system for resisting the lateral loads. Currently, there are many structural systems that can be used for the lateral resistance of tall buildings. In this context, authors classify these systems based on the basic reaction mechanism/structural behavior for resisting the lateral loads.

A numerical study on local buckling and energy dissipation of CHS seismic bracing Kusyilmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) Seismic provisions for steel buildings present limiting width-thickness and slenderness ratios for bracing members, most of which were established based on experimental observations. A finite element study has been undertaken to evaluate these limits for pin-ended circular hollow section (CHS) steel braces. Uncertainties in modeling and quantification arise in the simulation of cyclic brace buckling. A finite element modeling procedure was developed and calibrated using existing experimental data. Sensitivi...
Application of ring beam stiffness criterion for discretely supported shells under global shear and bending Topkaya, Cem (SAGE Publications, 2018-12-01) Silos in the form of a cylindrical metal shell are commonly elevated to provide access to the space beneath. In general, a few discrete column supports at evenly spaced intervals are commonly utilized. The presence of discrete supports results in circumferential non-uniformity in the axial compressive stress above the support. Depending on the size of the structure, several different support arrangements may be chosen. A stiff ring beam is utilized in larger silos to transfer and evenly distribute the discr...
A comparative study on different analysis approaches for estimating the axial loads on columns and structural walls at tall buildings Kurç, Özgür (Wiley, 2013-04-01) Estimating axial loads on columns and structural walls at tall buildings is a complicated task because time-dependent deformations of concrete and the way the building is constructed affect the way the gravity loads are carried by them. The accurate computation of axial loads is crucial for determining the size and strengths of columns and structural walls. This study investigates several analysis approaches commonly used during the design of such buildings. Construction sequences, time-dependent deformatio...
An improved finite grid solution for plates on generalized foundations Karaşin, Abdulhalim; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In many engineering structures transmission of vertical or horizontal forces to the foundation is a major challenge. As a first approach to model it may be assumed that the foundation behaves elastically. For generalized foundations the model assumes that at the point of contact between plate and foundation there is not only pressure but also moments caused by interaction between the springs. In this study, the exact stiffness, geometric stiffness and consistent mass matrices of the beam element on two-para...
A detailed analysis for evaluation of the degradation characteristics of simple structural systems Kurtman, Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics. The objective of this study is to address the influence of degrading behavior on simple systems. The Structural Performance Database on the PEER web site, which contains the results of cyclic, lateral-load ...
