This paper discusses results from an analytical investigation conducted to study the ductility demands imposed on reinforced concrete beams and columns of three-bay six-story reinforced concrete frames subjected to earthquake type loads. The ultimate goal of this study is to investigate and compare the behavior of Frame-NS, the ordinary moment resisting frame, and Frame-S, the special moment resisting frame designed to comply with the seismic design requirements of ACI 318-99[1], UBC-97[2], CAN A23.3-94[3] and NBC-95[4]. Determination of the critical locations in these frames and devising upgrade schemes that are consistent with the ductility demands on these locations constituted significant milestones in the seismic retrofit design. Although Frame-S displayed a higher level of ductility in comparison to Frame-NS, the pushover analyses results indicated that the most critical column hinges of Frame-S exploited their deformation capacities just prior to collapse. The most critical beam hinge, on the other hand, exploited 37% of its deformation capacity. More significantly, only 21% of the beam deformation capacities were exploited in the Frame-NS just prior to its collapse. The potential plastic hinge regions of the columns of Frame-S and Frame-NS were then wrapped using carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabrics impregnated with epoxy. Due to better confinement of the plastic hinge regions of the columns, their sectional deformation capacities increased considerably. Hence, the available deformation and energy absorption capacities of the beam hinges were mobilized to considerably higher levels (up to 48% in Frame-NS and up to 75% in Frame-S).

Seismic upgrading of reinforced concrete frames with structural steel elements Özçelik, Ramazan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) This thesis examines the seismic internal retrofitting of existing deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures by using structural steel members. Both experimental and numerical studies were performed. The strengthening methods utilized with the scope of this work are chevron braces, internal steel frames (ISFs), X-braces and column with shear plate. For this purpose, thirteen strengthened and two as built reference one bay one story portal frame specimens having 1/3 scales were tested under constant grav...
Seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete reinforced vertical panel buildings Gökmen, Furkan; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2017) In this study, the seismic behavior of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) reinforced panel walls and buildings was investigated. The structural members were investigated under cyclic lateral loading and axial load and the results were compared with the previous tests. The main objective of this study was to provide recommendations for nonlinear analysis of the reinforced AAC panel walls and buildings. OpenSees plat-form was chosen as the computational platform. The walls were modeled with fiber sections. The...
Numerical simulation of dynamic shear wall tests: A benchmark study Kazaz, I; Yakut, Ahmet; Gulkan, P (2006-03-01) This article presents the numerical simulation of a 1/3-scale, 5-story reinforced concrete load bearing structural wall model subjected to seismic excitations in the context of IAEA benchmark shaking table experiment conducted in laboratories of CEA in Saclay, France. A series of non-linear time history analyses were performed to simulate the damage experienced and response quantities measured for the specimen tested on a shaking table. The mock-up was subjected to a series of artificial and natural earthqu...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01) This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIXED BASE AND ROCKING BUILDING FRAMES EQUIPPED WITH AN ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEM Özen, Hazal; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2023-3-06) In this study, the effect of columns with a rocking-base isolation system on enhancing the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete building is investigated. A compara- tive study comprising of comparisons of fixed-based and rocking-based systems with post-tensioning strands and free column ends is conducted. For analysis purposes, a reinforced-concrete building with shear walls was designed, modeled, and analyzed in ETABS software. Nonlinear boundary time history analysis (NTHA) was conducted by exposi...
