In this study, two reinforced concrete frames with hollow clay tile masonry infill walls, retrofitted with diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), which were tested previously, were analytically investigated. A simple material model for the masonry infill wall strengthened with CFRP is suggested. The lateral strength of each rehabilitated frame was obtained by pushover analysis of four different models using a commercially available finite-element program, and the results were compared with the test results. We also determined the lateral strength of the CFRP-applied masonry infill walls, and compared the results with the results obtained from existing analytical models. Drift capacity of the masonry infill walls strengthened with CFRP was also investigated, and the drift capacity of the masonry infill walls strengthened with diagonally applied CFRP was recommended. It is concluded that the strength of the masonry infilled frames strengthened with diagonally applied CFRP can be satisfactorily predicted with the suggested procedure. The ultimate drift capacity of the masonry infill walls strengthened with diagonally applied CFRP strips was conservatively predicted to be 1.0%.

In the last decade, a new strengthening methodology has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frames with hollow clay tile (HCT) infill walls by means of diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics. In the experimental part of a study conducted by the authors, this user-friendly methodology was experimentally investigated considering different aspect (height/width) ratios of the infill walls. In this study, first a numerical model of the FRP strengthened infill walls strengthened...
Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties
Cobanoglu, Baran; ALDEMİR, ALPER; Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Yakut, Ahmet (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-08-01)
Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material's properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in Turkey, masonry buildings are assessed generally based on the recommended material properties specified in relevant codes as opposed to testing of samples taken from the existing buildings. However, due to different material types and workmanship quality, the specified properties might be quit...
Performance Evaluation of Internal Drains of Earthen Dams
Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-12-01)
Seepage is always expected in earthen dams because they are made of porous materials. However, it should be always under control and its amount and pore-water pressures should be kept below acceptable limits. This can be satisfied by installing internal drains. This study reviews the characteristics of blanket, chimney, and toe drains and assesses their suitability and effectiveness for various material types and geometric characteristics in separate cases. Numerical simulations are conducted for steady-sta...
Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls
Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01)
Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
Strengthening of reinforced concrete frames with engineered cementitious composite panels
Ayatar, Mehmet Engin; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2020-04-01)
Infill walls in reinforced concrete frames are susceptible to failure owing to their brittle nature. Their interaction with boundary columns during earthquakes may also cause shear damage in the columns. It is crucial to employ effective seismic strengthening strategies in order to mitigate the seismic risk induced by the infill walls. In this study, a new strengthening technique, conducted by bonding engineered cementitious composite (ECC) precast panels onto infill walls, was investigated. Three reinforce...
