The new version of the Turkish Seismic Code was released in 2007 and the capacity design approach for high ductility structural walls was introduced for the first time. The practicing engineers, however, mentioned various problems especially related with the shear design of structural walls. Because of this reason, an in-depth comparative study was conducted to examine the differences and similarities of the design approaches of Turkish Seismic Code, American Reinforced Concrete Code and various studies in the literature that focus on the capacity design of high-ductility structural walls. In addition, differences between normal-ductility structural walls of Turkish Seismic Code and ordinary walls of American Reinforced Concrete Code were also examined. It was determined that in the current version of the Turkish Seismic Code, several problems in clauses related to structural wall design exist. Several modifications were proposed in order to improve the structural wall design of the structural walls.

Türkiye Bina Deprem Yönetmeliği 2018 Işığında Yüzeysel ve Derin Temellerin Tasarımına Kritik Bakış Çetin, Kemal Önder (2018-09-26) Bildiri kapsamında, 01.01.2019 tarihinde yürürlüğe girecek olan yeni Türkiye Bina Deprem Yönetmeliği kapsamında yer alan yüzeysel ve derin temel tasarımı ile ilgili hususlar gözden geçirilmiş, bunlara ilişkin görüşler sunularak yönetmeliğin kullanımı bir uygulama ile örneklendirilmiştir.
Application of Mesh Reinforced Mortar for Performance Enhancement of Hollow Clay Tile Infill Walls Ezzatfar, Pourang; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Özcebe, Güney (2014-01-01) The use of mesh reinforcement with mortar on existing brick infill walls of reinforced concrete (RC) frames is a recommended seismic strengthening procedure in the Turkish Seismic Code (2007). The premise of the method lies in its ease of application and success in eliminating the out-of-plane failure of existing infill walls. The performance of the mesh reinforced mortar (MRM) application was investigated by pseudo-dynamic (PsD) and cyclic testing. A three-story-three-bay 1:2 scale RC frame with hollow cla...
Analytical study on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings using steel braces with shear link Durucan, Cengizhan; Dicleli, Murat (2010-10-01) This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS is composed of a rectangular steel housing frame with chevron braces and a yielding shear link connected between the braces and the frame. The retrofitting system is installed within the bays of an RC building frame to enhance the stiffness, strength and ductility of the structure. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system usin...
Comparison of the treatment performances of blast furnace slag-based and gravel-based vertical flow wetlands operated identically for domestic wastewater treatment in Turkey Korkusuz, EA; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Demirer, GN (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-20) In 2001, to foster the practical development of constructed wetlands (CWs) used for domestic wastewater treatment in Turkey, vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands (30 m(4)(4)(2 of each) were implemented on the campus of the METU, Ankara, Turkey. The main objective of the research was to quantify the effect of different filter media on the treatment performance of vertical flow wetlands in the prevailing climate of Ankara. Thus, a gravel-filled wetland and a blast furnace granulated iron slag-filled ...
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TURKISH EARTHQUAKE CODE 2007 AND TURKISH BUILDING EARTHQUAKE CODE 2018 Asgarov, İsmayıl; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-11-24) This thesis compares the complete analysis and design procedure of TEC 2007 and TBEC 2018 for an archetype reinforced concrete building with three different story configurations (three-story, six-story, twelve-story), and the structures are analyzed and designed at three locations in Türkiye (Istanbul, Ankara, Adana). The study focuses on the differences between the defined approaches in the mentioned codes regarding seismic load calculation, finite element model preparation, and reinforced concrete m...
