The main goal of this study is to investigate the effects of the changes in selecting procedure of real ground motion records to be used in non-linear time history analysis on base isolated structures with friction-pendulum system. The revision involves selecting 11 ground motion records instead of 7 records and taking into account the vertical components of earthquakes instead of considering just horizontal components. Specific to this study, the main parameters employed for investigation will be base reactions, inter-storey drift ratios, peak floor accelerations, isolator displacements and axial loads on isolators. The main reason for selecting these parameters is that the inter-storey drift ratio and peak floor acceleration are the main parameters affecting structural system design, and base reactions, isolator displacements and axial loads on isolators are the main parameters affecting isolation system design. These parameters were evaluated using non-linear time history analysis method with ground motion records, which are selected and scaled using the seismicity of Isparta, on structures having 3 different numbers of floors. The analyses performed in this work indicates that increasing the number of selected ground motion records causes a decrease in all parameters evaluated. While consideration of vertical components of ground motions do not have any identifiable effect on peak floor accelerations, inter-storey drift ratios or isolator displacements, increases the variation of axial loads on isolators and base reactions. Another conclusion is that the revision on Turkish seismic code increases the execution time for analyses.

Assessment of synthetic ground motion records obtained from alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-storey frame buildings: A case study
Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02)
Full time series of ground acceleration are required for nonlinear time history analyses to evaluate the dynamic response of a structure under earthquake excitations. In regions with sparse ground motion data, alternative ground motion simulation techniques are used to generate acceleration time series with varying levels of accuracy. While using simulated records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of these records in predicting the real engineering demands. For this purp...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25)
This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Evaluation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for Concrete Gravity Dams
SOYSAL, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (Elsevier BV; 2017-09-13)
The seismic safety of dam structures is often evaluated using time history analyses conducted with a limited number of ground motions. The selection and scaling of the ground motions is usually the most effective factor determining the results of the safety assessment. The inherent variability in the ground motion as well as the difficulty of conducting the analyses for a large number of ground motions renders the selection as the most important factor in the analysis results. The guidelines for the nonline...
Assessment of alternative simulation techniques in nonlinear time history analyses of multi-story frame buildings: A case study
Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yakut, Ahmet (2017-07-01)
In regions with sparse ground motion data, simulations provide alternative acceleration time series for evaluation of the dynamic response of a structure. Different ground motion simulation methods provide varying levels of goodness of fit between observed and synthetic data. Before using the seismologically acceptable synthetic records for engineering purposes, it is critical to investigate the efficiency of synthetics in predicting observed seismic responses of structures. For this purpose, in this study ...
Examination of time-varying kinematic responses to support surface disturbances
Gürses, Senih; Keshner, E. A. (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01)
To examine the evolution of inter-segmental coordination over-time, a previously developed multivariate model of postural coordination during quiet stance by Kuo et al. [1,2] has been extended. In the original model, postural coordination was treated as an eigenvalue-eigenvector problem between two segmental degrees of freedom represented by angular displacements of the trunk and shank. Strategies of postural coordination were then identified using the sign of the covariance between the two segments' angula...
