A computerized system to schedule high-rise building construction has been developed using line-of-balance technology assisted by an expert system. A review of the recent literature on the techniques available for scheduling and controlling construction projects of a repetitive nature shows that Gantt charts are inadequate, and that there are serious problems with using network methods in such circumstances. There is evidence that the construction of high rise buildings has a decidedly repetitive nature but differs in some respects from other repetitive projects such as pipelines or pavement construction. Two new concepts have been introduced into line-of-balance methodology to accommodate the special conditions encountered in high rise building construction. These two concepts, namely ‘fexible’ unit networks and ‘multi-level’ LOB diagrams have been coded into a scheduling module (‘Lobplans’). A series of databases have been compiled regarding the productivity of resources. An expert system module (Lobex) has been developed to facilitate decision-making at network generation level. The scheduling module, the databases, and the expert system have been organized into an integrated system (Chriss) by means of communication and command routines that interface between the modules and the user input. A 16-storey building project has been used in testing Chriss’ performance. The integrated system proved to be user friendly and reliable.

Analytical study on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings using steel braces with shear link
Durucan, Cengizhan; Dicleli, Murat (2010-10-01)
This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS is composed of a rectangular steel housing frame with chevron braces and a yielding shear link connected between the braces and the frame. The retrofitting system is installed within the bays of an RC building frame to enhance the stiffness, strength and ductility of the structure. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system usin...
Living apartment buildings in Ankara and their relation with the city
Gedikli, Bahar (null; 2019-07-09)
Innovative buildings, with their design aspects, functions and environmental relations, can enrich urban areas spatially and functionally. This study explores inner-city apartment buildings in Ankara that adapted a similar approach to Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation (dwelling unit), and analyzes how they have contributed to their surrounding area. Le Corbusier's approach to city planning involved geometric forms. In his works on city planning, dwelling is the fundamental element. One of his well-known con...
Vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete moment resisting frame buildings
Erduran, Emrah; Yakut, Ahmet (2007-04-01)
A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls. The procedure is based on member damage functions, in terms of interstory drift ratios. These functions are developed for the primary components, namely, columns, beams, and infill walls. For developing these functions, analytical investigations to determine the influence of several parameters on the damageability of components were combined with experimental data. A...
Seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete frames by precast concrete panels
BARAN, MEHMET; Susoy, M.; Okuyucu, D.; Tankut, T. (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2011-05-01)
An innovative occupant-friendly retrofitting technique has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC)-framed structures which constitute the major portion of the existing building stock. The idea is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load-carrying system acting as a cast-in-place concrete shear wall by reinforcing it with relatively thin high-strength precast concrete panels epoxy bonded to the plastered infill wall and epoxy connected to the frame members. In this study, results of 11...
Seismic Behaviour of RC Frames Infilled with Different Techniques
Demirel, İsmail Ozan; Yakut, Ahmet; Binici, Barış (2017-01-09)
Besides their primary implementation as heat isolation and partitioning off the living space, infill walls have great potential to influence building response during seismic excitation. Affecting the infilled RC building stock of Turkey, Mw 7.4 Kocaeli (1999) and Mw=7.1 Van (2011) earthquakes have shown that “non-structural” infill walls might be very critical for vertical stability of buildings under severe earthquakes and their performance is important in determination of global building performance espec...
