This research study is focused on an improved statistical equation proposed to estimate the inelastic displacement ratio, C-1, of structures subjected to sequential (pre-shock, main shock, after shock) pulse type near fault (NF) ground motions. Proposed equation considers the effects of fundamental vibration period of the structure, T, lateral strength ratio, R, and frequency content of the design earthquake on the variation of the response. Frequency content of the design earthquake, represented by the A(p)/V-p ratio (i.e. ratio of peak ground acceleration (A(p)) to peak ground velocity (V-p)), is a function of the earthquake magnitude, distance to fault, faulting mechanism and site class. In scope of the study statistical analyses were conducted to develop a simple and accurate statistical equation to estimate the C-1 of structures subjected to sequential pulse type NF ground motions. From the results of the study it was observed that the C-1 values obtained from the proposed equation are, generally, in good agreement with the calculated exact results. Also, the C-1 and T relationships were plotted together with those of a former study to clearly show the detrimental effect of the sequential ground motion loading in terms of amplified displacement demands.

Direct use of PGV for estimating peak nonlinear oscillator displacements
Akkar, Dede Sinan; Kucukdogan, Bilge (2008-10-10)
A predictive model is presented for estimating the peak inelastic oscillator displacements (S-d,S-ie) from peak ground velocity (PGV). The proposed model accounts for the variation of S-d,S-ie for bilinear hysteretic behavior under constant ductility (mu) and normalized lateral strength ratio (R) associated with postyield stiffness ratios of alpha = 0 and 5%. The regression coefficients are based on a ground-motion database that contains dense-to-stiff soil site recordings at distances of up to 30 km from t...
Peak ground velocity sensitive deformation demands and a rapid damage assessment approach
Akkar, S; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2003-05-13)
The effect of peak ground velocity (PGV) on the maximum inelastic deformation demand of simple, non-degrading structural systems is studied. Ground motion data sets are assembled for pre-defined ranges of PGV and they are used to conduct nonlinear response history analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems. The study is focused on short and intermediate periods of vibration (T) and strength reduction factor (R) is used to define the lateral capacity of the structure. As part of the study, a simple ...
Measurement of jet multiplicity distributions in t(t)over-bar production in pp collisions at root s=7TeV
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-08-01)
The normalised differential top quark-antiquark production cross section is measured as a function of the jet multiplicity in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC with the CMS detector. The measurement is performed in both the dilepton and lepton+jets decay channels using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb(-1). Using a procedure to associate jets to decay products of the top quarks, the differential cross section of the t (t) over bar production is de...
Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25)
This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Proposed minimum restoring force equations for seismic isolated structures
Görgülü, Ali Günalp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2019)
In this research study, a new set of restoring force equations are proposed for seismic isolated structures subjected to far fault ground motions (FFGM) and near fault ground motions (NFGM). For this purpose, 110 FFGM and 49 NFGM are selected. Then, nonlinear time history analyses (NLTHA) of SDOF seismic isolated structures are performed using the selected ground motions to obtain their residual and maximum displacements. The analyses are repeated for an extensive range of parameters including peak ground a...
