The accuracy of estimating the performance levels of a deficient RC frame using linear elastic and nonlinear dynamic analysis is evaluated in this study. This was achieved by comparing the response of a structure tested with pseudo-dynamic testing and estimated by the linear elastic assessment procedures along with nonlinear dynamic analysis. The test structure (three bay-two storey planar frame) is a 1/2 scale reinforced concrete frame having masonry infill walls in the central span. The test frame contains a number of structural deficiencies such as low concrete compressive strength (7MPa), lack of transverse reinforcement detailing at potential plastic hinge regions and beam-column joints. Tests were conducted for the NS component of 7.14 magnitudes 1999 Duzce Earthquake for three different scale levels. Test results indicated that drift deformation demands estimated using nonlinear dynamic analysis were within 15% of those observed in the tests. On the other hand, damage estimations of TEC and FEMA 356 were found to be conservative resulting in retrofit decisions. It was also observed that although nonlinear dynamic analysis provided reasonable estimations for inter-storey displacements, local demand parameters such as column curvature demands were estimated with less accuracy. © 2009 ASCE.

Comprehensive evaluation of equivalent linear analysis method for seismic-isolated structures represented by sdof systems
Dicleli, Murat (2007-08-01)
In this study, the equivalent linear (EL) analysis procedure used in the design of seismic-isolated structures is evaluated. The effect of several parameters such as the intensity and frequency characteristics of the ground motion, isolator properties and the structure mass are considered in the evaluation. First, the EL analysis procedure is evaluated using harmonic ground motions with various excitation periods and a suite of 15 seismic ground motions with various frequency characteristics. Then, the effe...
Evaluation of the site amplification factors estimated by equivalent linear site response analysis using time series and random vibration theory based approaches
Stanko, Davor; Gülerce, Zeynep; Markusic, Snjeana; Salic, Radmila (2019-02-01)
The objective of this study is to estimate and compare the site amplification factors (AFs) using two different one dimensional (1-D) equivalent-linear (EQL) site response analysis approaches: the time series (TS) approach and the random vibration theory (RVT) based method. For this purpose, random soil profiles combined with different soil types, EQL soil properties, and unit weights are tested at several input ground motion levels. Analysis results showed that the AFs estimated by the TS-approach are syst...
Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models
Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06)
Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
Nonlinear system identification and nonlinear experimental modal analysis by using response controlled stepped sine testing
Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-24)
In this work, two novel nonlinear system identification methods are proposed in both the modal and spatial domains, respectively, based on response-controlled stepped-sine testing (RCT) where the displacement amplitude of the excitation point is kept constant throughout the frequency sweep. The proposed nonlinear modal identification method, which is also a nonlinear experimental modal analysis technique, applies to systems with several nonlinearities at different (and even unknown) locations (e.g. joint no...
Bond strength of lap-spliced bars
Canbay, Erdem (2005-07-01)
Calculation methods to evaluate the strength of tension lap splices are based primarily on nonlinear regression analysis of test results. While the results from these analyses are extremely useful, applicability of their results beyond the domain of the data is often, questioned. The objective of this research was to develop an expression for the calculation of bond strength based on a physical model of tension cracking of concrete in the lap-spliced region. Two different types of failure modes are consider...
