This paper describes formulation of a hand method that can be used to estimate the computed fundamental periods of vibration of building structures in general and steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) in particular. The developed method uses the Rayleigh's method as a basis and utilizes the roof drift ratio (RDR) under seismic forces as a parameter. To obtain RDR, more than 4000 EBFs were designed by considering the seismic hazard, number of stories, braced bay width and link length to bay width ratio as prime variables. A model was developed to estimate RDR, which depends on the rigid plastic deformation mechanism for a typical EBF. The method was verified using design data produced as a part of this work as well as data published in literature. The verifications indicate that the proposed formulation is capable of providing acceptable estimates of the computed period. When compared with existing empirical period-height relationships, the proposed formulation offers closer estimates with reduced scatter. The method was further refined to derive new period-height relationships for two different seismicity regions. The accuracy of the relationship for high seismic regions was verified using measured periods of EBF buildings. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

DEVELOPMENT OF A HAND METHOD TO ESTIMATE FUNDAMENTAL PERIODS OF STEEL ECCENTRICALLY BRACED FRAMES
Kusyilmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem (2016-12-09)
This paper describes formulation of a hand method which can be used to estimate the computed fundamental periods of vibration of steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). The developed method uses the Rayleigh's method as a basis and utilizes the roof drift ratio under seismic forces as a parameter. The roof drift ratio was obtained from EBF designs by considering different seismic hazard, number of stories, braced bay width, and link length to bay width ratio. A simple expression was developed to represent...
Preparation of a transparent hydrophilic TiO2 thin film photocatalyst
Chun, Hye-Yeon; Park, Sam-Sik; You, Sang-Hee; Kang, Gi-Hyeon; Bae, Won-Tae; Kim, Kwang-Wook; Park, Jong-Ee; Öztürk, Abdullah; Shin, Dong-Woo (2009-04-01)
A great deal of attention has been drawn to the coating of transparent photocatalytic TiO2 onto outdoor building materials, such as glass, the and stone, for utilizing the self-cleaning effect originating from the hydrophilic behavior of the coated layer under ultraviolet irradiation. Two key technologies should be developed for the successful commercialization of a hydrophilic photocatalyst, i.e., superior activity of the TiO2 sol, and a transparent and strong adhesive coating. A photocatalytic TiO2 Sol sh...
Non-destructive evaluation of residual stresses in the multi-pass steel weldments
Erian, Gökhan; Gür, Cemil Hakan; Batıgün, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
The purpose of this thesis is non-destructive determination of residual stress state in the multi-pass welded steel plates by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) technique. To control the effectiveness of the developed procedure, continuous MBN measurements on the heat affected zone and parent metal of the welded plates were performed. In the experimental part, various steel plates were welded with different number of weld passes. Various series of samples were prepared for residual stress and for angular defle...
Lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall systems
Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01)
The accuracy of the finite element method and strip method of analysis for calculating the lateral stiffness of steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems is assessed by making comparisons with experimental findings. Comparisons revealed that while both methods provide acceptable accuracy, they also require the generation of sophisticated computer models. In this paper, two alternative methods are developed. The first one is an approximate hand method based on the deep beam theory. The classical deep beam theory...
Post-cyclic settlement and tilting potential of mat foundations
UNUTMAZ, BERNA; Çetin, Kemal Önder (2012-12-01)
A simplified procedure for the estimation of cyclic shear stresses on foundation soil layers due to interactions of seismic excitation, foundation mat and overlying structural system, incorporating both kinematic and inertial aspects was described earlier in Cetin et al. 11,2]. This simplified procedure is now used, along with laboratory-based cyclic shear and volumetric strain relationships for the assessment of cyclically induced settlement and tilting potential of mat foundations. The proposed methodolog...
