Compared to fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a relatively new type of concrete with high flowability and good cohesiveness. It offers very attractive economical and technical benefits, which can be further extended when combined with FRC. In this article two different types of steel fibers were used, in combination, and the effects of fiber inclusion on the workability of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFR-SCC) is studied. The effects of fibers are quantified based on the fiber volume, length, and aspect ratios of the fibers. It was concluded that in addition to the above-mentioned quantifiable three properties, other properties of fibers such as shape and surface roughness are also found to be important but they cannot be quantified at this stage.

Cost effect of earthquake region and soil type for office buildings in Turkey Kanit, Recep; Gunduz, Murat; Ozkan, Omer (Elsevier BV, 2007-10-01) In this study, the change in the load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete office building has been investigated in relation to the earthquake regions and soil types. Three different office projects each with five stories were investigated. The structural design calculations have been made according to four different soil types and four different earthquake regions. According to each combination, concrete, steel and formwork adopted approximations were calculated to reach the rough cost of each offi...
Seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete frames by precast concrete panels BARAN, MEHMET; Susoy, M.; Okuyucu, D.; Tankut, T. (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2011-05-01) An innovative occupant-friendly retrofitting technique has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC)-framed structures which constitute the major portion of the existing building stock. The idea is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load-carrying system acting as a cast-in-place concrete shear wall by reinforcing it with relatively thin high-strength precast concrete panels epoxy bonded to the plastered infill wall and epoxy connected to the frame members. In this study, results of 11...
Comprehensive Evaluation of AIMS Texture, Angularity, and Dimension Measurements Mahmoud, Enad; Gates, Leslie; Masad, Eyad; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan; Garboczi, Edward (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2010-04-01) Aggregates are the most widely used construction materials in the world in structures built from both asphaltic and portland cement concrete composites. The performance of these composites is affected by aggregate shape characteristics (e.g., angularity, texture, and dimensions). The aggregate imaging system (AIMS) is a computer automated system that was developed to measure aggregate shape characteristics using digital camera images of aggregates. This paper addresses four issues concerning AIMS measuremen...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
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...
