Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) wall panels are more commonly used to construct load-bearing walls in low-rise prefabricated buildings located in seismic zones. In the scope of this study, the seismic response of buildings constructed with reinforced AAC wall panels was investigated. To this end, an in situ test was conducted on a two-story test building under reversed cyclic displacement excursions. It was determined that the test building could carry a lateral load of 60% more than its weight and has a global displacement ductility of about 3.5. The first story of the building was observed to be critical and the failure of the building was due to overturning response of the whole system. In addition, the proposed numerical models for simulating the behavior of the AAC wall panels were validated. These calibrated numerical models were utilized to conduct nonlinear static analysis of the test building and a reasonably good agreement was observed between the test results and simulations. The results of the incremental dynamic analyses demonstrated that i) the two-story test building could resist strong ground motions with PGA values up to 0.6g without undergoing significant plastic deformations and ii) a reserve of ductility and over strength is available for the AAC panel building to survive earthquakes with PGAs reaching nearly 0.6g. Based on these numerical results, reinforced AAC wall panel buildings appear to be good alternatives for low-rise construction in seismic regions.

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...
Economic assessment of the seismic retrofitting of low-cost apartment buildings
Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat; Macit, G (Informa UK Limited, 2005-07-01)
When structural retrofitting of buildings is required due to seismic safety considerations, building owners or government officials are faced with a crucial decision whether to demolish and rebuild their buildings, or retrofit them. Simple decisions based on fixed proportions, such as demolish and rebuild if retrofit costs exceed 40% of the replacement cost, may be misleading. A financial analysis should be carried out considering all the revenues and costs of the building during its life time. A low-cost r...
Forced Vibration Testing and Finite Element Modeling of a Nine-Story Reinforced Concrete Flat Plate-Wall Building
Çelik, Ozan Cem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Akyüz, Uğurhan (SAGE Publications, 2015-05-01)
Tunnel form buildings, owing to their higher construction speed and quality, lower cost, and superior earthquake resistance over that of conventional reinforced concrete buildings, have been widely used for mass housing, urban renewal, and post-earthquake reconstruction projects all over the world as well as in Turkey. However, there have been few dynamic tests performed on existing buildings with this structural system. This study investigates the dynamic structural properties of a typical nine-story reinf...
Seismic performance assessment of confined masonry construction at component and structure levels
Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Erkoseoglu, Gulden (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02-01)
There are different techniques for masonry construction. Among these, confined masonry (CM) buildings may be regarded as an upgrade for unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, which is the most common type. In Turkey, URM construction has been popular, especially up to the end of 1980s. These rather old URM buildings constitute a significant percent of the existing building stock. On the other hand, CM construction seems to be rare when compared to its URM counterpart in Turkey. This fact was also reflected i...
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...
