A methodology for reliability-based design of rock slopes
DUZGUN, HSB; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Karpuz, Celal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-04-01)
A reliability-based methodology for the design of rock slopes, that can easily be implemented by the practicing engineers is proposed. The advanced first-order second-moment (AFOSM) method is adopted as the reliability assessment model and its application is illustrated for the case of plane failure. A model is developed within the framework of first-order second-moment approach to analyze the uncertainties underlying the in situ shear strength properties of rock discontinuities. Here, particular emphasis i...
A numerical study on response factors for steel wall-frame systems
Arslan, Hakan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2010-11-01)
A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the response of dual structural systems that consisting of steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of elastic base shear distribution between the wall and the frame on the global system response. A total of 10 walls and 30 wall frame systems, ranging from 3 to 15 stories, were selected for numerical assessment. These systems represent cases in which the elastic base shear res...
A numerical study on response modification, overstrength, and displacement amplification factors for steel plate shear wall systems
Kurban, Can Ozan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2009-04-10)
Design recommendations for steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems have recently been introduced into seismic provisions for steel buildings. Response modification (R), overstrength (Omega(o)), and displacement amplification (C-d) factors for SPSW systems presented in design codes were based on professional experience and judgment. A numerical study has been undertaken to evaluate these factors for SPSW systems. Forty-four unstiffened SPSW possessing different geometrical characteristics were designed based o...
An experimental study on steel-encased buckling-restrained brace hysteretic dampers
Eryasar, Mehmet Emrah; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2010-04-25)
This paper describes a seismic test program performed on 12 steel-encased buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). The use of rolled or built-up buckling-restraining mechanisms with welded or bolted attachments was examined. In addition, the effects of bolt pretension, core-to-encasing attachment details, aspect ratio of core segment and imperfections due to manufacturing on the brace response were investigated. All specimens were subjected to a stepwise incremental quasi-static testing protocol with a maximum ax...
Probabilistic Stability Evaluation of Oppstadhornet Rock Slope, Norway
Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Bhasin, R. K. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-10-01)
Probabilistic analyses provide rational means to treat the uncertainties associated with underlying parameters in a systematic manner. The stability of a 734-m-high jointed rock slope in the west of Norway, the Oppstadhornet rock slope, is investigated by using a probabilistic method. The first-order reliability method (FORM) is used for probabilistic modeling of the plane failure problem in the rock slope. The Barton-Bandis (BB) shear strength criterion is used for the limit state equation. The statistical...
