Yakut, Ahmet
Research has been undertaken to develop damage curves for RC members. This paper deals with the first stage of the aimed study, which is the determination of all significant parameters that affect the damageability of RC components. Analytical investigations for columns and beams are presented for a broad range of parameters, emphasizing on their effect on the structural damage. These results will then be used to develop damage curves that are expressed in terms of the inter story drift ratio.

Contribution of reinforced concrete infills to seismic behavior of structural systems
Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, G (2003-09-01)
The object of this paper is to report an experimental investigation on the internal force distribution in reinforced concrete (RC) frames with added RC walls. The paper describes a special test setup and force transducers designed to determine the internal forces. The transducers were designed so that the stiffness change in the column would be minimal. The paper reports the results of a test in which a 1/3-scale, two-story, three-bay RC frame was first subjected to damaging lateral-drift reversals and was ...
Effect of triisopropanol amine and calcium nitrate on the strength development of glass fiber reinforced concrete t
Alkılıç, Mustafa Onur; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Cement Engineering (2015)
This thesis work aims to research the possibility of acceleration in strength development by the use of Calcium Nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) and Triisopropanol Amine (TIPA) in the production of glass fiber reinforced concrete, also known as GFRC or GRC. In conventional cementitious systems, Ca(NO3)2 is used as an accelerator, and TIPA is typically used as a grinding agent for cement. In this thesis study TIPA is used in order to increase the ultimate strength of the concrete whose early strengths are increased by Ca(...
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...
Plastic rotation capacity of RC columns under biaxial seismic demands
Özcan, Okan; Binici, Barış (2023-03-01)
Seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) columns should be evaluated considering biaxial demands for a more realistic assessment. However, most of the current seismic assessment regulations stipulate rotation capacity estimations considering only uniaxial bending test database. The effect of seismic demands in one direction may have a detrimental effect in the deformation capacity of the other direction. In the past studies, the influence of biaxial loading patterns/paths/histories, axial load level,...
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...
