Nowadays, earthquake and structural engineers perceive that conventional seismic design method, which is based on force and strength, is not an adequate way of designing structures under ground motions. The reason is that the conventional seismic design method does not pay enough attention to inelastic displacements, plastic behavior of structures and duration of seismic motion. At the present time, there are new and popular alternatives to the force-based approach like displacement-based method, in which the aforementioned issues are mostly handled. The energy-based method is another convenient tool to study the performance of structures under seismic action and probably the best way to include the duration of ground motion within the analysis. In the energy-based approach, the energy input to the structure should be dissipated through inelastic action and damping. The inelastic energy dissipation mechanism is called as hysteretic energy. It is an important challenge to obtain the story-wise and component-wise distribution of the total hysteretic energy within the building in order to develop the energy-based design and analysis tools. Such studies have been conducted for steel frames in previous studies; however the distribution of hysteretic energy among the reinforced concrete (RC) beams and columns has not been studied extensively. Accordingly, this study is focused on the story-wise and component-wise distribution of hysteretic energy in RC moment-resisting frames. For this purpose, RC frames with a different number of stories and bays are designed according to the 2018 Turkish Seismic Design Code. Then the designed frames are modeled with lumped plasticity model that introduces the inelasticity at the ends of the beam and column members. The developed models are subjected to a set of strong ground motion records and the distributions of hysteretic energy for each frame and analysis are obtained. The results indicate that it is possible to set up some rules for the hysteretic energy distribution in RC frames that can be used in energy-based design and analysis procedures.

Seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete frames with structural steel elements
Özçelik, Ramazan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
This thesis examines the seismic internal retrofitting of existing deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures by using structural steel members. Both experimental and numerical studies were performed. The strengthening methods utilized with the scope of this work are chevron braces, internal steel frames (ISFs), X-braces and column with shear plate. For this purpose, thirteen strengthened and two as built reference one bay one story portal frame specimens having 1/3 scales were tested under constant grav...
A comparative structural and architectural analysis of earthquake resistant design principles applied in reinforced concrete residential buildings in Turkey
Özmen, Cengiz; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008)
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to design earthquake resistant residential structures without significant compromises in the spatial quality and economic viability of the building. The specific type of structural system that this thesis focuses on is the reinforced concrete skeleton system. The parametric examples and key studies that are used in this research are chosen among applied projects in the city of Bolu. This city is chosen due to its location on the North Anatolian Fa...
HYSTERETIC RESPONSE OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE INFILLED FRAMES
ALTIN, S; ERSOY, U; TANKUT, T (1992-08-01)
Strengthening of framed reinforced concrete structures by cast-in-place reinforced concrete infills is commonly used in practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of such infilled frames under seismic loads. For this purpose, 14 two-story, one-bay infilled frames are tested under reversed cyclic loading simulating seismic action. The variables investigated are thc effect of type of infill reinforcement, thc connection between the frame and thc infill, and the flexural capacity of c...
Optimum Detailed Design of Reinforced Concrete Continuous Beams using the Harmony Search Algorithm
Akin, A.; Saka, M. P. (2010-09-17)
Design optimization of reinforced concrete structures is more challenging than that of steel structures due to the complexity associated with reinforcement design. In this study, optimum design algorithm is presented for reinforced concrete continuous beams. The design variables are selected as the width and the depth of beams in each span, the diameter and the number of longitudinal reinforcement bars along span and supports, and the diameter of ties. The design constraints are implemented from ACI 318-05 ...
Nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures
Çiftçi, Güçlü Koray; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Reinforced concrete frames display nonlinear behavior both due to its composite nature and the material properties of concrete itself. The yielding of the reinforcement, the non-uniform distribution of aggregates and the development of cracks under loading are the main reasons of nonlinearity. The stiffness of a frame element depends on the combination of the modulus of elasticity and the geometric properties of its section - area and the moment of inertia. In practice, the elastic modulus is assumed to be ...
