This study focuses on the damage potential of earthquake ground motions based on the inelastic dynamic response of equivalent single degree of freedom structures. Their yield resistances are selected in accordance with seismic design codes. An index accounting for the accumulation of damage due to inelastic excursions is used to represent structural damage. A set of 94 ground motions are employed for this analysis, which are all scaled to the same peak ground acceleration of 0.4 g. Earthquake ground motions are classified with respect to the peak velocity. The effect of peak velocity on damage potential is investigated by using sensitivity analysis and probabilistic techniques. It is concluded that peak ground velocity significantly influences the damage potential of earthquake ground motions, although it is not directly represented by the spectral definitions of earthquake excitations in seismic design codes.

Statistical evaluation of the damage potential of earthquake ground motions Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Gezer, A; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (1998-01-01) This study focuses on the damage potential of earthquake ground motions based on the inelastic dynamic response of equivalent single degree of freedom structures. Their yield resistances are selected in accordance with seismic design codes. An index accounting for the accumulation of damage due to inelastic excursions is used to represent structural damage. A set of 94 ground motions are employed for this analysis, which are all scaled to the same peak ground acceleration of 0.4 g. Earthquake ground motions...
Influence of the shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete buildings Günel, Ahmet Orhun; Burak Bakır, Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the influence of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the behavior of existing mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings under earthquake loading. The seismic performance of five existing school buildings with shear wall ratios between 0.00% and 2.50% in both longitudinal and transverse directions and their strengthened counterparts are evaluated. Based on the structural properties of the existing buildings, additional buildings with varying shear wall ratios are ...
Experimental evaluation of geomembrane / geotextile interface as base isolating system Taheri Bonab, Amin; Gülerce, Zeynep; Kalpakcı, Volkan; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the composite liner seismic isolation system on the seismic response of small-to-moderate height structures. For this purpose, a building model with the natural frequency of 3.13 Hz (representing 3-4 story structures) was tested with and without the addition of composite liner system using the shaking table test set-up by employing harmonic and modified/ scaled ground motions. Experiment results showed that the composite liner seismic isolation system...
Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Efficiency of Seismic Isolation for Seismic Retrofitting of Heavy Substructured Bridges Dicleli, Murat; Constantinou, Michael C. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-07-01) In this paper, the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of bridges with light superstructures and heavy substructures in the state of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a representative bridge was selected by Illinois Department of Transportation. A detailed structural model of the bridge capable of simulating the nonlinear behavior of its components and soil-bridge interaction effects was first constructed. Iterative multimode response spectrum analysis (IMMRSA) of the bridge were c...
