Optimum characteristic properties of isolators with bilinear force-displacement hysteresis for seismic protection of bridges built on various site soils Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01) In this study, closed form equations as functions of the isolator, bridge and ground motion properties are formulated to calculate the optimum characteristic strength, Q(d) and post-elastic stiffness, k(d), of the isolator to minimize the maximum isolator displacement (MID) and force (MIF) for seismic isolated bridges (SIBS). For this purpose, first, sensitivity analyses are conducted to identify the bridge, isolator and ground motion parameters that affect the optimum values of Q(d) and k(d). Next, for the...
Replaceable links with gusseted brace joints for eccentrically braced frames Bozkurt, Mehmet Baku; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) Various replaceable link details were developed for use in steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) during the past decade. These details include but are not limited to bolted flush end-plated links, bolted extended end-plated links, web connected replaceable links, and bolted flange- and web-spliced links. Another detail which is based on splicing the beam outside the link and braces was recently proposed by the authors. The performance of this detail when used with directly connected braces was studied th...
Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different background seismic activity and temporal earthquake occurrence models Yilmaz, Nazan; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-01) Spatial sensitivity of seismic hazard results to different models with respect to background seismic activity and earthquake occurrence in time is investigated. For the contribution of background seismic activity to seismic hazard, background area source with uniform seismicity and spatially smoothed seismicity models are taken into consideration. For the contribution of faults, through characteristic earthquakes, both the memoryless Poisson and the time dependent renewal models are utilized. A case study, ...
Optimum design of seismic isolation systems using metaheuristic search methods ÇERÇEVİK, ALİ ERDEM; Avsar, Ozgur; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01) This study addresses the optimum design of seismic isolated structures via metaheuristic search methods. Three recently developed bio-inspired search methods, namely crow search (CSA), whale optimization (WOA) and grey wolf optimizer (GWO), were employed to develop efficient design optimization algorithms for parameter optimization of seismic isolated structures. The developed design optimization algorithms have been applied to optimize a shear frame model with a base isolation system, where the main object...
Seismically induced landslide at degirmendere nose, Izmit Bay during Kocaeli (Izmit)-Turkey earthquake Çetin, Kemal Önder; Unutmaz, B (Elsevier BV, 2004-04-01) This paper presents a study on the analyses of seismically induced landslide at Degirmendere Nose during the 1999 Kocaeli (lzmit)-Turkey earthquake. The paper discusses: (1) observed ground deformations and displacements after the earthquake, (2) the results of field investigations by means of borings and in situ index tests including standard penetration tests, static cone penetration tests (CPT) and piezocone tests, (3) analyses of observed landslide mechanisms by a suite of methods and (4) potential effe...
