A densely instrumented residential building was tested using seismic simulator (shake table) for a series of strong events. These events included several runs of 200% Izmit Turkey earthquake 1999, which caused over 20,000 casualties. The building was brought to near failure condition through these experiments sequentially. The instrumentation on the system consisted of commonly used piezoresistive and wireless micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers along with conventional strain and displacement measurements. Part, of the ground story was heavily damaged due to these experiments. System identification studies using multiple-input/multiple-output procedure were performed to obtain modal properties of the building. The change of the modal properties of the system was monitored and documented. The obtained natural frequencies and modes were compared with results from shaker tests. The statistical proper-ties of the estimated modal proper-ties were determined using Monte Carlo, simulations. Comparison of conventional piezoresistive accelerometers and new wireless MEMS sensors is also given in the paper for the purpose of future extensions of the presented study.

Dynamic simulation of shaking table tests for a shearwall building having torsion Nazırzadeh, Saeıdeh; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Simulating the non-linear response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings subjected to a sequence of input earthquake records, is an extremely complex concern in the field of the Earthquake Engineering. Buildings with no symmetry in plan have much more complicated behavior under earthquake effects than symmetric buildings. Torsional irregularity in plan is the main topic of many current researches. In previous decades, considerable amount of numerical and experimental studies have been conducted, but more re...
Seismic Response Analysis and Optimum Design Of A Concave Ball Support İsolated System for A Three Story Concrete Structure Kaplan, Halit; Dölen, Melik (2003-10-10) This paper investigates the seismic response and optimum design of a base isolation system for earthquake protection of structures. The system incorporates spherical supports for the base, a specially designed spring-cam system to keep the base rigidly supported under normal conditions and to allow it to move for the duration of the earthquake under the constraint of a spring with optimized stiffness characteristics. A single degree of freedom structure was considered to investigate the feasibility of the c...
Linear modal combination procedure for structural dynamics Tanışer, Sadun; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Earthquake engineering practice utilizes different analysis procedures in the estimation of seismic demands on structures. These procedures are mainly divided into two groups as static and dynamic procedures. Dynamic procedures are more accurate than the static procedures since they include the entire history of any response parameter during the ground motion. Nevertheless, there are also approximate but much simpler static analysis procedures that overcome high computational demands and inherent difficulti...
Modal identification of bridge systems using state-space methods Arıcı, Yalın (Wiley, 2005-07-01) Arrays of large numbers of sensors and accompanying complex system identification (SI) methods have been recently used in engineering applications on structures ranging from complex real space trusses to simple experimental beams. However, practical application to strong motion data recorded on large civil engineering systems is limited. In this study, state-space identification methods are used for modal identification from earthquake records with further investigation into the effectiveness of the methods...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for east anatolian fault zone using planar source models Menekşe, Akın; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) The objective of this study is to perform probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) using planar seismic source characterization models for East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and to update the design ground motions to be used in the region. Development of planar seismic source models requires the definition of source geometry in terms of fault length, fault width, fault plane angles and segmentation points for each segment and associating the observed seismicity with defined fault systems. This complicat...
