In the United States, design of buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) is conducted using the recommendations given in the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC341-10) and Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-10). In this study, deflection amplification factor given in ASCE7-10 for BRBFs was evaluated. Pursuant to this goal. three archetypes composed of single diagonal BRBFs were designed. The archetypes represent designs in high seismic regions which are defined as Seismic Design Category D-max according to FEMA P695. The archetypes were subjected to Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) and Design Based Earthquake (DBE) ground motions using 44 far-field records. Elastic and inelastic time history analyses of these archetypes were conducted by using OPENSEES software. The deflection amplification factor for BRBFs were obtained from analysis results and compared with the codified value. The results indicate that the lower stories experience larger displacements and the upper stories experience lower displacements when compared with code estimates.

Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills
BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01)
Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls
Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01)
Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
Seismic response of a single story innovative steel frame system
Dicleli, Murat (2005-01-01)
The presented research studies the seismic response of a new braced steel frame type and a new design philosophy that will focus on minimizing damage to the essential structural members and ensuring satisfactory post-earthquake performance of steel buildings under service loads with minimal rehabilitation costs. The proposed frame type is composed of beams and columns with rigid connections, chevron braces and a conventional energy-dissipating member called the shear element connected between the braces and...
Investigation of CFS shear walls with two-sided sheathing and dense fastener layout
Pehlivan, Barış Mert; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem; Isik, Yagmur Topcuoglugil (2022-11-01)
Even though CFS framed shear walls have been the subject of many research, test data on walls sheathed with OSB panels on both sides using relatively small fastener spacing is scarce. The current investigation aims to fill this gap through an integrated experimental and numerical study on lateral load response of double side sheathed CFS-framed wall panels utilizing relatively small fastener spacing. The experimental investigation included cyclic tests on nine 1220x2440 mm wall panels. For the tested walls ...
Evaluation and selection of ground motion intensity measures for nonlinear seismic demand and fragility analysis of MDOF systems
Kadaş, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-5-21)
In performance-based seismic design methodology, intensity measures are thought to be key parameters of ground motion records that relate the seismic hazard levels with the structural response or damage. Therefore, it is important to identify efficient intensity measures that are capable of reducing the variability in seismic demand predictions. There exist several simple-to-advanced scalar and vector ground motion intensity measures; however, the literature is limited in the number of comparative studies i...
