Seismic response of a lightly reinforced stiff shear-wall structure subjected to ground motions grouped as near- or far-field according to their distance to causative faults is investigated. A model structure that had earlier been studied both experimentally and analytically in the context of a co-ordinated research project is re-examined. The structure is a five-storey lightly reinforced shear-wall model subjected analytically to 55 ground motion records from firm soil sites. Several response parameters are obtained by linear and non-linear analyses. Additional analyses are performed to ascertain the validity and range of applicability of current approximate displacement-based analysis procedures. The procedures considered in this study are found to be inadequate in representing the anticipated response of the structure employed here regardless of the type of excitation, so modifications are suggested for improved results.

EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTION CHARACTERISTICS AND SEISMIC ENERGY-DISSIPATION Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 1995-09-01) The sensitivity of seismic energy dissipation to ground motion and system characteristics is assessed. It is found that peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity to acceleration (V/A), dominant period of ground excitation and effective response duration are closely correlated with the energy dissipated by a SDOF system. Ductility ratio and damping ratio have no significant influence on the energy dissipation. An energy dissipation index is proposed for measuring the damage potential of earthquake groun...
Seismic demand models for probabilistic risk analysis of near fault vertical ground motion effects on ordinary highway bridges Gülerce, Zeynep; Kunnath, Sashi K.; Abrahamson, Norman A. (Wiley, 2012-02-01) The influence of vertical ground motions on the seismic response of highway bridges is not very well understood. Recent studies suggest that vertical ground motions can substantially increase force and moment demands on bridge columns and girders and cannot be overlooked in seismic design of bridge structures. For an evaluation of vertical ground motion effects on the response of single-bent two-span highway bridges, a systematic study combining the critical engineering demand parameters (EDPs) and ground m...
Seismic energy dissipation in deteriorating systems through low-cycle fatigue Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2004-01-01) Energy dissipation characteristics of structural members which exhibit both strength and stiffness deterioration under imposed displacement reversals are investigated. In the experimental part, 17 reinforced concrete beam specimens were tested under constant and variable amplitude inelastic displacement cycles. The constant-amplitude tests were employed to determine the low-cycle fatigue behaviour of specimens where the imposed displacement amplitude was the major variable. A two-parameter fatigue model was...
Prediction of input energy spectrum: attenuation models and velocity spectrum scaling Alici, F. S.; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Wiley, 2016-10-25) Recent improvements in performance-based earthquake engineering require realistic description of seismic demands and accurate estimation of supplied capacities in terms of both forces and deformations. Energy based approaches have a significant advantage in performance assessment because excitation and response durations, accordingly energy absorption and dissipation characteristics, are directly considered whereas force and displacement-based procedures are based only on the maximum response parameters. En...
Structure-soil-structure interaction of adjacent buildings subjected to seismic loading Bybordiani, Milad; Arıcı, Yalın (Wiley, 2019-06-01) The problem of the through-soil coupling of structures has puzzled the researchers in the field for a long while, especially regarding the varied performance of identical, adjacent buildings in earthquakes. The phenomenon of structure-soil-structure interaction (SSSI) that has often been overlooked is recently being recognized: The possible effects in urban regions are yet to be thoroughly quantified. In this respect, the goal of this work was to rigorously investigate the interacting effects of adjacent bu...
