A practical implementation of generalized multimodal pushover analysis is presented in this study, where the number of pushovers is reduced significantly in view of the number of modes contributing to seismic response. It has been demonstrated in two case studies that the reduced procedure for generalized pushover analysis is equally successful in estimating the maximum member deformations and forces under a ground excitation with reference to nonlinear response history analysis. It is further shown that the results obtained by using the mean spectrum of a set of ground motions are almost identical to the mean of the results obtained from separate generalized pushover analyses. These results are also very close to the mean results of the nonlinear response history analyses, hence motivating the implementation of generalized pushover analysis with design spectrum.

Experimental evaluation of geomembrane/geotextile interface as base isolating system Kalpakci, V.; Bonab, A. T.; Özkan, M. Yener; Gülerce, Zeynep (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2018-02-01) The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the geomembrane/geotextile interface on the seismic response of small-to-moderate height structures. Three building models with first-mode natural frequencies changing between 2-4 Hz (representing two, three and four storey structures) were tested with and without the addition of geomembrane/geotextile interface using the shaking table test setup by employing harmonic and modified/ scaled ground motions. Experimental results showed that the geomembran...
Improved effective damping equation for equivalent linear analysis of seismic-isolated bridges Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-02-01) In this study, an improved effective damping (ED) equation is proposed to obtain more reasonable estimates of the actual nonlinear response of seismic-isolated bridges (SIB) using equivalent linear (EL) analysis procedure. For this purpose, first the EL analysis results using AASHTO's ED equation is evaluated using harmonic and seismic ground motions. The effect of several parameters such as substructure stiffness, isolator properties, and the intensity and frequency characteristics of the ground motion are...
Integrated nonlinear regression analysis of tracer and well test data Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) One frequent observation from conventional pressure transient test analysis is that field data match mathematical models derived for homogeneous systems. This observation suggests that pressure data as presently interpreted may not contain details concerning certain reservoir heterogeneities. On the other hand, tracer tests may be more sensitive to heterogeneous elements present in the reservoir because of the convective nature of the flow test. In this study, a possible improvement of conventional pressure...
Improvement of statistical landslide susceptibility mapping by using spatial and global regression methods in the case of More and Romsdal (Norway) Erener, Arzu; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-03-01) Statistical models are one of the most preferred methods among many landslide susceptibility assessment methods. As landslide occurrences and influencing factors have spatial variations, global models like neural network or logistic regression (LR) ignore spatial dependence or autocorrelation characteristics of data between the observations in susceptibility assessment. However, to assess the probability of landslide within a specified period of time and within a given area, it is important to understand th...
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...
