A rationalization for ranking reinforced concrete frame buildings with masonry infill walls with regard to seismic vulnerability is presented The method essentially requires only the dimensions of the structure as input, and is expressed in terms of where its attributes are located in a two-dimensional plot of masonry wall and column percentages. It is shown that increasing drift at the ground story (which is a reasonable expression of increasing vulnerability) is attained by decreasing either attribute It is shown that a more robust estimate of the contribution of the filler wall to frame stiffness should be based on the compression-tension strength of its mortar rather than the elastic modulus, either of the masonry or of the mortar.

A numerical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frames with infill walls Güney, Murat Efe; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Materially non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures with infill walls requires appropriate mathematical models to be adopted for the beams and the columns as well as the infill walls. This study presents a mathematical model for frame elements based on a 3D Hermitian beam/column finite element and an equivalent strut model for the infill walls. The spread-of-plasticity approach is employed to model the material nonlinearity of the frame elements. The cross-section of the frame element is ...
Quantifying seismic design criteria for concrete buildings Tüken, Ahmet; Atımtay, Ergin; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) The amount of total and relative sway of a framed or a composite (frame-shear wall) building is of utmost importance in assessing the seismic resistance of the building. Therefore, the design engineer must calculate the sway profile of the building several times during the design process. However, it is not a simple task to calculate the sway of a three-dimensional structure. Of course, computer programs can do the job, but developing the three-dimensional model becomes necessary, which is obviously tedious...
A detailed analysis for evaluation of the degradation characteristics of simple structural systems Kurtman, Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics. The objective of this study is to address the influence of degrading behavior on simple systems. The Structural Performance Database on the PEER web site, which contains the results of cyclic, lateral-load ...
Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01) Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
Analysis and prediction of masonry wallette strength under combined compression-bending via stochastic computational modeling Gonen, Semih; Pulatsu, Bora; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Lemos, José V.; Tuncay, Kağan; Erduran, Emrah (2023-03-01) The out-of-plane flexural bending capacity of masonry is a fundamental property for understanding the behavior of masonry structures. This study investigates the behavior of unreinforced masonry wallettes subjected to combined compression-flexural loading using the discrete element method (DEM), and provides a novel framework to estimate the masonry strength. A simplified micro-modeling strategy is utilized to analyze a masonry wallette, including the variation of the mechanical properties in masonry units ...
