The objective of this study is to estimate and compare the site amplification factors (AFs) using two different one dimensional (1-D) equivalent-linear (EQL) site response analysis approaches: the time series (TS) approach and the random vibration theory (RVT) based method. For this purpose, random soil profiles combined with different soil types, EQL soil properties, and unit weights are tested at several input ground motion levels. Analysis results showed that the AFs estimated by the TS-approach are systematically higher than the AFs estimated by the RVT-based method in the short period range (T < 0.5 s), especially when the bedrock peak ground acceleration is higher than 0.2 g. The relative difference between the AFs estimated in both methods is most prominent in granular soils: differences reach up to 35-40% compared to 10-15% for clays. On the other hand, the AFs calculated in this study are in good agreement with the empirical AF models utilized in recent ground motion models, indicating that the RVT-based AF models may be preferred in the future to cover a larger range of scenarios than the empirical datasets.

Performance comparisons of seismic assessment methods with PSD test results of a deficient RC frame
Ozcebe, G.; KURT, ELİF; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Akpinar, U. (2009-12-01)
The accuracy of estimating the performance levels of a deficient RC frame using linear elastic and nonlinear dynamic analysis is evaluated in this study. This was achieved by comparing the response of a structure tested with pseudo-dynamic testing and estimated by the linear elastic assessment procedures along with nonlinear dynamic analysis. The test structure (three bay-two storey planar frame) is a 1/2 scale reinforced concrete frame having masonry infill walls in the central span. The test frame contain...
ASSESSMENT OF RPIM SHAPE PARAMETERS FOR SOLUTION ACCURACY OF 2D GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR PROBLEMS
BOZKURT, ÖMER YAVUZ; KANBER, BAHATTİN; Aşık, Mehmet Zülfü (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2013-06-01)
This study discussed the effects of shape parameters on the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) accuracy in 2D geometrically nonlinear problems. Four finite deformation problems with compressible Neo-Hookean material are numerically solved with the RPIM algorithm using the multi-quadric (MQ) radial basis function. Both regular and irregular node distributions are used. Their displacements and Cauchy stresses are compared for different values of shape parameters and monomial basis. It is found that the ...
Analyzing the Information Distribution in the fMRI Measurements by Estimating the Degree of Locality
Onal, Itir; Ozay, Mete; Firat, Orhan; GİLLAM, İLKE; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2013-07-07)
In this study, we propose a new method for analyzing and representing the distribution of discriminative information for data acquired via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, we form a spatially local mesh with varying size, around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationship among each seed voxel and its neighbors is estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the square error. Then, we estimate the optimal mesh size that represents the connections among each ...
Development of an incompressible navier-stokes solver with alternating cell direction implicit method on structured and unstructured quadrilateral grids
Baş, Onur; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2007)
In this research, the Alternating Cell Direction Implicit method is used in temporal discretisation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and compared with the well known and widely used Point Gauss Seidel scheme on structured and quadrilateral unstructured meshes. A two dimensional, laminar and incompressible Navier-Stokes solver is developed for this purpose using the artificial compressibility formulation. The developed solver is used to obtain steady-state solutions with implicit time stepping m...
Comparison of ASCE/SEI Standard and modal pushover-based ground motion scaling procedures for pre-tensioned concrete bridges
Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (2017-01-01)
Complex analysis methods such as non-linear time-history analyses (NTHA) are often required for the design of non-standard bridges. The selection of the ground motions for the NTHA is a crucial task as the results of the analyses show a wide variability according to the selected records. In order to predict the demand in accordance with the seismic hazard conditions of the site, the selected motions are usually modified by scaling procedures. Within this context, the performance of two scaling methods, name...
