A two-phase experimental investigation has been conducted for the development and evaluation of a hold down device that has energy dissipating feature. Focus of the first phase was the development of the device itself, while the second phase concentrated on the investigation of the performance of this device when used in a CFS framed sheathed wall panel that is subjected to reversed cyclic lateral loading. Hold down subassembly test results indicate that the load capacity of the hold downs is mostly limited by the shearing capacity of connection screws. Hold down devices themselves were observed to remain virtually undamaged under center dot tensile loading, indicating a superior mechanical behavior in terms of strength and stiffness. As part of the second phase of the study, cyclic lateral load tests were conducted on seven CFS framed sheathed wall panels in order to study the energy dissipation ability of the proposed hold down device when used in CFS wall systems. Aligned with this focus, the anchor rods used to connect the hold downs to the foundation system in wall panel specimens were altered mainly by reducing the rod diameter within the middle portion over a certain length to provide controlled rod yielding under tensile forces. Controlled yielding of anchor rods was observed to reduce the drift demands imposed on wall panels due to seismic effects, resulting in a minimal damage on wall panels themselves

Testing and analysis of different hold down devices for CFS construction Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of a two-phase study on hold down devices used in cold formed steel (CFS) structural systems. The first phase consisted of component testing and numerical analysis of hold down devices while the second phase was based on testing of CFS framed sheathed wall panels under cyclic lateral loading. Eleven monotonic and three cyclic tensile load tests were performed on seven different types of hold down devices to assess the performance of readily available hold downs and propose...
A numerical study on special truss moment frames with Vierendeel openings Olmez, Harun Deniz; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2011-04-01) A two-phase numerical study was undertaken to address some design issues related to special truss moment frames (STMFs). In the first phase, the design approaches for distribution of shear strength among stories were examined. Multistory STMFs sized, based on elastic and plastic analysis, were evaluated from a performance point of view. A set of time history analyses was conducted to investigate performance parameters such as the interstory drift ratio and the plastic rotation at chord member ends. The resu...
Evaluation of seismic response factors for BRBFs using FEMA P695 methodology Ozkihc, Yasin Onuraip; Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) This paper reports the details of a numerical study undertaken to evaluate seismic response factors for steel buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) using the FEMA P695 methodology. In the United States, BRBFs are designed according to Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341). Twenty-four archetypes were designed according to the U.S. specifications and their behavior was assessed by making use of non-simulated c...
A Compact Energy Transducer for Power Generation From Respiration Beyaz, Mustafa Ilker; Habibiabad, Sahar; Yildiz, Hamza; Goreke, Utku; Azgın, Kıvanç (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-06-01) This paper reports a compact magnetic transducer developed for generating electrical power from respiration. The device incorporates a side-drive turbine rotor with embedded permanent magnets and two stators, integrated into a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) package for actuation. The novelty and advantage of the design lies in almost full use of the available turbine volume together with two stators for both mechanical and electrical transduction, which leads to high rotational speeds and high voltage gen...
Effect of Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
