Drift demands for stiff moment-resisting frames are investigated. A total of 8 regular frame models with 3- to 9-stories are subjected to 40 soil site records. The moment. magnitude and source-to-site distance of the ground motion data set varies between 5.7 <= M <= 7.6 and 2.5 km <= d <= 23 km, respectively. The ground motion data set is divided into 2 equal bins to represent different seismic hazard levels. The frames conforrn to the seismic code provisions for the median design spectra of the ground motion bins and they are classified as stiff frames according to their fundamental periods. Nonlinear response history analyses are conducted to present the height-wise variation of maximum lateral displacement profiles and story drift demands for the frame models considered. The accuracy in estimating the maximum roof and interstory drifts is investigated through simplified procedures that use the first-mode approach. The statistics presented show that the maximum interstory drift is strongly correlated with the building configuration and ground-motion features. Use of first-mode approach associated with building elastic dynamic properties generally yields conservative maximum roof drift estimations. A novel approach is also evaluated that can reveal preliminary information about the nonlinear maximum interstory drift if the concern is not the exact location of this deformation demand.

Performance comparisons of seismic assessment methods with PSD test results of a deficient RC frame Ozcebe, G.; KURT, ELİF; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Akpinar, U. (2009-12-01) 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 contain...
Pseudo dynamic test of a deficient reinforced concrete frame upgraded with internal steel frames ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür (2013-04-01) Two-story, three-bay reinforced concrete (RC) frames with and without internal steel frame (ISF) retrofits were tested using continuous pseudo dynamic test method. The ISFs were installed to the middle bay of the RC frame. Test results indicated that ISF retrofit was beneficial in resisting deformation demands without significant damage under simulated ground motions. The ISF shifted the failure mode of the system from a brittle to a ductile mode. The test results were compared with the results of the nonli...
Synchronization analysis of coupled Lienard-type oscillators by averaging Tuna, Sezai Emre (2012-08-01) Sufficient conditions for the synchronization of coupled Lienard-type oscillators are investigated via averaging technique. The coupling considered here is fixed, nonsymmetric, and nonlinear. Under the assumption that the interconnection topology defines a connected graph, it is shown that the solutions of oscillators converge arbitrarily close to each other, starting from initial conditions arbitrarily far apart, provided that the frequency of oscillations is large enough and the initial phases of oscillat...
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...
Drift spectra for inelastic shear frames Etemadi, Ali; Gülkan, Hakkı Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) In assessing the damage originating from strong ground motions in building frames, it is necessary to identify properly the post-yield hysteresis degrading behavior of structural components that are well correlated with structural response and in turn, with damage. Likewise, structural damage during the ground motion is due to excessive interstory drift ratio; hence more realistic estimation of interstory drift demands has a significant role in the seismic evaluation of frame buildings. Existing approaches ...
