The results of an experimental program on seismic upgrade of slab-column connections are presented in this paper Two of the four slab-column specimens designed according to ACI 318-63 code provisions were upgraded by externally installed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) stirrups and the other two, designed and detailed according to the ACI 318-63 and ACI 318-02 codes, respectively, served as control specimens. Specimens were tested under constant gravity shear and lateral displacements were applied in a reversed cyclic manner Punching shear failure occurred for the control specimens at a lateral drift-ratio of approximately 2%. Upgraded specimens had significant flexural yielding and sustained deformations up to a drift ratio of approximately 8% without significant losses of strength. Punching failure was not observed in the upgraded specimens. In the upgraded specimens, displacement ductility increased by a factor of at least 2 and the joint rotation ductility factor increased up to 3.5 times that of the control specimen. The results of the experimental program showed that the proposed upgrade method is successful in increasing deformation capacity and avoiding brittle failures that can occur under high gravity loadings.

Seismic strengthening of rectangular reinforced concrete columns using fiber reinforced polymers ÖZCAN, OKAN; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (2010-04-01) In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymers have been widely utilized to improve the seismic performance of deficient RC columns. In this study, the flexural behavior of CFRP strengthened rectangular RC columns with plain bars and insufficient confining steel was investigated Five specimens, representing a typical deficient building column with poor transverse reinforcement detailing and low concrete strength, were tested under cyclic displacement excursions and constant axial load. The beneficial effect of ...
Flame retardancy of polyamide compounds and micro/nano composites Gündüz, Hüseyin Özgür; Kaynak, Cevdet; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2009) In the first part of this dissertation, glass fiber reinforced/unreinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 66 (PA66) were compounded with three different flame retardants, which were melamine cyanurate, red phosphorus and brominated epoxy with antimony trioxide, by using an industrial scale twin screw extruder. Then, to investigate flame retardancy of these specimens, UL-94, Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and Mass Loss Cone Calorimeter (MLC) tests were carried out. In addition to flammability tests, thermogra...
LATTICE POLYMERS - BEHAVIOR FAR FROM THETA-CONDITIONS YURTSEVER, E; ISSEVER, S (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01) Two-dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations of lattice polymers were carried out employing Lennard-Jones (LJ) type intramolecular interactions. The shape-dependent properties of these polymers were studied over a large range of interaction parameters and temperatures. The variation of the critical constant was also analysed. Two-dimensional surfaces of sections were used to determine the portions of the parameter space which corresponded to theta-conditions. The behaviour of LJ polymers far from theta-condition...
Performance Analysis of a Micro-scale Model Helicopter Rotor in Hover Flight Şahin, Mustafa; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2015-09-12) This experimental study contains the design, production, test and evaluation of the test processes of a Micro-Scale Rotor Test-Rig. For the study, NACA 0012 airfoil section is selected as a rotor blade without a twist and a taper ratio. The tests cover the thrust and the torque relation with different blade pitch angles and RPM values.
Impact modified polyamide-organoclay nanocomposites Işık, Işıl; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007) The effects of melt state compounding and addition order of ethylene-butyl acrylate-maleic anhydride (E-BA-MAH), ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate (E-GMA), ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) terpolymer and/or three types of organoclays (Cloisite® 15A, 25A and 30B) on morphology, thermal, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of polyamide-6 are investigated. XRD patterns show that the interlayer spacing for Cloisite® 15A remained unchanged; however it increased for the organoclays ...
