Twelve full-scale column specimens designed for pure flexure failure were tested in this study. Two typical column designs were employed in the tests representing substandard and code-confonning columns, respectively The main variable in the experiments was the imposed displacement history. The deformation-based performance limits proposed for substandard columns by Eurocode 8 and ASCE/SEI 41 were found very conservative in view of the test results, which may lead to misleading results in the seismic risk assessment of existing substandard concrete structures. Eurocode 8 performance limits predicted the experimental performance of code-conforming columns well, whereas ASCE/SEI 41 performance limits appeared conservative in predicting the experimental performance of column plastic hinges designed to fail in flexure under moderate axial load levels. Analytical studies on single degree of freedom (SDOF) structures representing flexural column behavior revealed that the effect of displacement history on the target drift demands of concrete structures is significant under severe earthquake ground motions.

Evaluation of the Performance Limit States of Reinforced Concrete Columns in View of Experimental Observations
Acun, Bora; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2011-07-01)
In this study, twelve full-scale column specimens designed for pure flexure were tested under repetitive displacement cycles with high amplitude. Two typical column designs were employed in the production of samples representing sub-standard and code-conforming columns, respectively. The main variable in the experiments was the histories of the imposed displacement amplitudes. The deformation-based performance limits proposed by Eurocode 8, ASCE/SEI 41 and Turkish Seismic Code (TDY-2007) for sub-standard co...
Development of test structures and methods for characterization of MEMS materials
Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
This study concerns with the testing methods for mechanical characterization at micron scale. The need for the study arises from the fact that the mechanical properties of materials at micron scale differ compared to their bulk counterparts, depending on the microfabrication method involved. Various test structures are designed according to the criteria specified in this thesis, and tested for this purpose in micron scale. Static and fatigue properties of the materials are aimed to be extracted through the ...
Repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete columns with CFRPs
Ozcan, Okan; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (SAGE Publications, 2010-8-17)
In this study, seismic retrofitting of undamaged and moderately damaged RC columns with CFRP was investigated. The experimental program was conducted on five RC columns with inadequate tie spacing, 90-degree hooks at tie ends, and plain (undeformed) reinforcing bars. Columns were tested under a constant axial load of 27% of axial capacity and under reversed lateral cyclic loading. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of sustained axial load during repairing, damage, and corne...
Replaceable links with direct brace attachments for eccentrically braced frames
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (2017-10-25)
This paper reports findings of an experimental study conducted on replaceable links for steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). A replaceable link detail which is based on splicing the directly connected braces and the beam outside the link is proposed. This detail eliminates the need to use hydraulic jacks and flame cutting operations for replacement purposes. Performance of this proposed replaceable link was studied by conducting eight nearly full-scale EBF tests under quasi-static cyclic loading. The l...
Robust Estimation of UAV Dynamics in the Presence of Measurement Faults
Hacızade, Cengiz; Söken, Halil Ersin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-01-01)
This study introduces a robust Kalman filter (RKF) with a filter-gain correction for cases of measurement malfunctions. Using defined variables called measurement-noise scale factors, the faulty measurements are taken into consideration with a small weight and the estimations are corrected without affecting the characteristics of the accurate ones. In this study, RKF algorithms with single and multiple scale factors are proposed and applied for the state estimation process of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV...
