A comprehensive study has been carried out to investigate the correlation between maximum interstory drift demand of frame structures and a number of widely used ground motion intensity parameters. Nonlinear time-history analyses of 16 reinforced concrete frames were performed under a set of 80 ground motion records. The frames were selected to represent features of typical low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete structures. The records contained in the ground motion database were compiled from recorded ground motions with the intention to represent a wide range of seismic forces that impose various degrees of elastic as well as inelastic response of the frames. The maximum interstory drift ratios computed were compared with the ground motion intensity parameters employed and correlations between them were investigated through coefficients of correlation and determination. The results revealed that spectrum intensity parameters, having the strongest correlation, are superior to other parameters such as peak ground velocity, peak ground acceleration, and spectral acceleration.

Correlation of deformation demands with ground motion intensity Yılmaz, Hazım; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) A comprehensive study has been carried out to investigate the correlation between deformation demands of frame structures and a number of widely cited ground motion intensity parameters. Nonlinear response history analyses of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) models derived from sixteen reinforced concrete frames were carried out under a set of eighty ground motion records. The frames were selected to portray features of typical low-to-mid rise reinforced concrete structures...
Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Efficient energy dissipating steel-braced frame to resist seismic loads Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-07-01) In this research, the seismic performance of a proposed efficient energy dissipating steel-braced frame (EEDBF) in relation to that of a moment-resisting frame (MRF) and chevron braced frame (CBF) is studied. The frame is intended to combine the advantages of MRF and CBF and eliminate most of the disadvantages pertinent to these frames. Nonlinear static pushover, time history, and damage analyses of the three frames are conducted to assess the performance of the EEDBF compared to that of MRF and CBE The ana...
Calculation of flutter and dynamic behavior of advanced composite swept wings with tapered cross section in unsteady incompressible flow Farsadi, T.; Hasbestan, J. J. (Informa UK Limited, 2019-02-16) In this study, the aeroelastic stability and response of a swept composite wing in subsonic incompressible flow are investigated. The wing is modeled as an anisotropic tapered thin-walled beam with the circumferentially asymmetric stiffness structural configuration to establish proper coupling between bending and torsion. The structural model considers a number of nonclassical effects, such as transverse shear, material anisotropy, warping inhibition, nonuniform torsion, rotary inertia and three-dimensional...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01) In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
