Closure to "Punching shear strengthening of reinforced concrete flat plates using carbon fiber reinforced polymers" by Baris Binici and Oguzhan Bayrak
Binici, Barış (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-03-01)
This research presents a strengthening technique for increasing punching shear resistance in reinforced concrete flat plates using carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). This strengthening method employs CFRP strips in the vertical direction as shear reinforcement around the concentrated load area in a specified pattern. Experimental load deflection curves, strain measurements, and failure modes are reported for four strengthened specimens and two reference specimens tested for the research reported here...

Discussion of "Design of steel frames using ant colony optimization" by Charles V. Camp, Barron J. Bichon and Scott P. Stovall
Saka, MP (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2006-07-01)
A design procedure utilizing an ant colony optimization (ACO) technique is developed for discrete optimization of steel frames. The objective function considered is the total weight (or cost) of the structure subjected to serviceability and strength requirements as specified by the American Institute for Steel Construction (AISC) Load and Resistance Factor Design, 2001. The design of steel frames is mapped into a modified traveling salesman problem (TSP) where the configuration of the TSP network reflects t...
Performance-based seismic rehabilitation of damaged reinforced concrete buildings
Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Gunay, MS (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-10-01)
A building stock consisting of 130 medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged moderately during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. These buildings were rehabilitated by using simple, cost-effective methods where the newly added shear walls comprised the primary lateral load resisting system. In the presented study, different seismic performance evaluation procedures are tested first on the samples of damaged buildings for predicting their observed performances. Then the expected performances of t...
Performance Examination of Two Seismic Strengthening Procedures by Pseudodynamic Testing
Kurt, Efe Gokce; Kurç, Özgür; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-01-01)
Pseudodynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of two retrofit methods on two-story, three-bay frame structures. The test frames had hollow clay tile (HCT) infill in the central bay and incorporated the seismic deficiencies of Turkish construction practice, such as use of plain reinforcing bars, low-strength concrete, and insufficient confining steel. Two noninvasive and occupant-friendly retrofit schemes suggested in the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely, use of fiber-reinforced polyme...
