This study addresses the optimum design of seismic isolated structures via metaheuristic search methods. Three recently developed bio-inspired search methods, namely crow search (CSA), whale optimization (WOA) and grey wolf optimizer (GWO), were employed to develop efficient design optimization algorithms for parameter optimization of seismic isolated structures. The developed design optimization algorithms have been applied to optimize a shear frame model with a base isolation system, where the main objective was to obtain isolation system parameters resulting in minimum roof acceleration without exceeding the isolation system displacement limits. The linear isolator system parameters, namely the damping ratio and isolator period, were optimized based on the time history analyses. The optimization procedure was performed for various isolation displacement limits and damping ratio ranges. The results obtained for this isolated structure by the three design optimization algorithms were compared with previously published results in the literature in order to achieve a verification of the developed algorithms. One of the main outcomes of this study is that the high damping ratio does not always guarantee optimum isolation parameters, while an optimum damping ratio is crucial for achieving the minimum roof acceleration.

Use of simulated ground motions for the evaluation of energy response of simple structural systems Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01) The literature on energy-based seismic design and assessment methodologies of structural systems mostly relies on real ground motion datasets. However, certain bias exists due to lack of homogeneity in available ground motion datasets. In this study, a large set of ground motions is simulated. Next, the effects of various parameters on seismic behavior of SDOF systems in terms of energy are studied using nonlinear time history analyses. The stochastic finite-fault simulations are performed on the western pa...
Importance of Degrading Behavior for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Simple Structural Systems Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) This study focuses on effect of degradation characteristics on seismic performance of simple structural systems. Equivalent single degree of freedom systems are used for which the structural characteristics are taken from existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. Simulation of degrading behavior is achieved by considering actual experimental data. To obtain the seismic response of degrading structural systems, two different approaches are used: inelastic spectral analysis and fragility analysis. Ac...
Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different background seismic activity and temporal earthquake occurrence models Yilmaz, Nazan; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01) Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different models with respect to background seismic activity and earthquake occurrence in time is investigated. For the contribution of background seismic activity to seismic hazard, background area source with uniform seismicity and spatially smoothed seismicity models are taken into consideration. For the contribution of faults, through characteristic earthquakes, both the memoryless Poisson and the time dependent renewal models are utilized. A case study, ...
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...
Evaluation of site conditions for the Ankara Basin of Turkey based on seismic site characterization of near-surface geologic materials Kockar, M. K.; Akgün, Haluk; Rathje, E. M. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Regional site conditions relevant for seismic hazard studies can be derived from various geologic, seismologic, and geotechnical sources. In this study, site conditions are derived for the Ankara Basin in Turkey by merging in-situ seismic measurements of dynamic properties, geologic information, and some geotechnical boring information. Field seismic refraction surveys were performed at 259 sites in the project area to classify and characterize Plio-Pleistocene fluvial deposits and Quaternary alluvial and t...
