Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems have been used increasingly in seismically active regions. Shear walls consisting of CFS framing and sheathing panels constitute one type of lateral force resisting system for such CFS framed buildings. The purpose of this study is to develop an efficient numerical model to predict the lateral load response of shear walls that are framed with CFS profiles and sheathed with oriented strand board (OSB) panels. Numerical modeling of shear walls was conducted in OpenSees platform. Fastener-based approach incorporating nonlinear fastener model for screw connections was adopted. Screw connections were modeled by using a special hysteretic material model capable of softening, strength degradation, and cyclic pinching called as Pinching4. Parameters required to define this hysteretic model were based on a series of monotonic and cyclic loading tests conducted on OSB-to-CFS screw connections. Additionally, a complementary test program was carried out on OSB specimens to determine the in-plane shear properties of OSB sheathing panels. Shear wall model was verified with full-scale experimental data in terms of strength, stiffness and pinching characteristics. Then, a parametric study by utilizing the verified model was conducted in order to investigate the influence of various parameters such as local fastener behavior, fastener spacing, rigidity of stud-track connection, stiffness of CFS framing members, stiffness of hold-down members and the level of gravity loading on overall wall response. Seismic force modification (R) factors, including ductility related force modification factor (Rµ) and overstrength related force modification factor (RΩ), were calculated by using the bilinear force-displacement response determined from the numerically determined hysteretic response of several shear walls following the Equivalent Energy Elastic-Plastic (EEEP) approach.

NUMERICAL MODELING OF COLD-FORMED STEEL SHEAR WALLS WITH WOOD-BASED SHEATHING UNDER LATERAL LOADING Topcuoğlugil, Yağmur; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2018-09-14) Cold-formed steel (CFS) structuralsystems have been used increasingly in seismically active regions. Shear walls consisting of CFS framing and sheathing panels constitute one type of lateral force resisting system for such CFS framed buildings.

Experimental investigation of structural systems made of sheathed cold-formed steel wall panels Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-12) Cold-formed steel (CFS) structural systems are considered to be an innovative and newly developing construction method. Because of advantages such as lower fabrication periods, high strength/weight ratio and ease of construction, CFS structural systems have been used increasingly all around the world, including seismically active areas. Although there have been many studies in the literature, CFS structural systems are relatively new for the civil engineering practice and few existing specifications regardi...
Improving the strength of additively manufactured objects via modified interior structure AL, Can Mert; Yaman, Ulaş (2017-04-28) This thesis study provides an approach to improve the durability of additively manufactured parts via modified interior structures by considering the stress field results from tensile loading conditions. In other words, the study provides an automated method, i.e., implicit slicing method, which improves the strength of the parts with infill structures modified according to the quasi-static Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results under tensile loadings, automatically. The parts which are used throughout the w...
Analysis of reinforced concrete columns retrofitted with fiber reinforced polymer lamina Binici, Barış (2007-01-01) Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) lamina have been used widely in the last decade to enhance strength and deformation capacity of deficient reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Seismic assessment and retrofit of existing columns in buildings and bridge piers necessitate accurate prediction of the available deformation capacity. In this study, a new analytical model is proposed to represent potential plastic hinge regions of RC columns prior to and after FRP retrofit. A recently developed variable confined concret...
Modeling, analysis, and screening of cyclic pressure pulsing with nitrogen in hydraulically fractured wells Artun, Emre; Khoei, Ali Aghazadeh; Köse, Kutay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-7-19) Cyclic pressure pulsing with nitrogen is studied for hydraulically fractured wells in depleted reservoirs. A compositional simulation model is constructed to represent the hydraulic fractures through local-grid refinement. The process is analyzed from both operational and reservoir/hydraulic-fracture perspectives. Key sensitivity parameters for the operational component are chosen as the injection rate, lengths of injection and soaking periods and the economic rate limit to shut-in the well. For the reservo...
