Energy is dissipated by yielding at beam ends in steel moment resisting frames subjected to earthquakes. In addition, the column panel zone can be proportioned to participate in energy dissipation. AISC360, Eurocode 3, and FEMA-355D specifications have different philosophies for the design of panel zones which lead to different amounts of deformation demands. This paper presents a numerical study undertaken to quantify the deformation demands in panel zones proportioned according to different specifications. Pursuant to this goal, the panel zone design requirements of three specifications were compared first to identify differences and similarities. A parametric study was conducted by considering the beam depth, axial load level on columns, thickness of panel zone, and seismic hazard as the prime variables. Archetypes were analyzed by employing three-dimensional explicit nonlinear finite element time history analyses. The analysis results revealed that designs according to AISC360 and Eurocode 3 resulted in significant amounts of yielding of the panel zone while the designs according to FEMA 355D resulted in minimal amount of yielding. The panel zone deformation demands were quantified and an equation used to estimate the deformation levels was developed herein.

Performance of a moment resisting beam-column connection for precast concrete construction Baran, Eray; BARAN, MEHMET; Kurtoglu, Metin; Torra-Bilal, Ines (2021-11-01) Seismic performance of a specific type of moment resisting precast concrete beam-column connection was investigated through reversed cyclic load tests. Structural steel components were incorporated with precast concrete beam and column elements in the experiments to provide a ductile moment resisting connection. Additionally, nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) of typical monolithic and precast connections was performed to investigate the performance and failure modes of these connections. Concrete Dama...
Ground Motion to Intensity Conversion Equations (GMICEs) for Türkiye: Evaluation of Regional Differences with Parametric and Non-Parametric Regression Methods Albayrak, Kubilay; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Yerlikaya Özkurt , Fatma; Department of Earthquake Studies (2023-1-26) Earthquakes cause damage to the built environment with the ground motions generated due to seismic energy release. Effects of earthquakes can be measured quantitatively through instrumental measures such as peak ground acceleration (PGA) and peak ground velocity (PGV) or qualitatively by macroseismic (felt) intensity levels. It is important to study the correlations between macroseismic intensity and instrumental ground motion parameters. Such relationships for Türkiye exist but they mostly have employed re...
Seismic collapse safety based optimization of steel Moment-Resisting frames Gholizadeh, Saeed; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Eser, Hasan; Koçkaya, Okan (2022-11-01) Structures must have a reasonable seismic safety margin in order to ensure life-safety as well as to prevent structural collapse caused by earthquakes. On the other hand, the cost-efficiency and economy of structures are important and integral parts of structural engineering. The main aim of the current study is to propose an efficient methodology for designing cost-efficient multi-story special steel moment-resisting frames at predefined levels of seismic collapse safety. To achieve this purpose, a seismic...
Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading Sarıtaş, Afşin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01) Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the hysteretic behavior of these members. The model is based on a three-field variational formulation with independent displacement, stress, and strain fields. The displacement field is based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The nonlinear response of the element is derived from the section inte...
Seismic fragilities for non-ductile reinforced concrete frames - Role of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties Çelik, Ozan Cem (2010-01-01) Seismic fragilities are essential to earthquake loss estimation and performance-based earthquake engineering in regions of high seismicity. Construction practices for frames in regions of moderate seismicity are quite different, and such frames have received less attention in the literature. Fragilities for performance levels identified in recent seismic regulations are developed herein for reinforced concrete frames designed for gravity load in low-seismic regions using probabilistic non-linear finite elem...
