Structural engineering for earthquake resistance is undergoing a major revision in its approach toward the fulfillment of seismic safety and utilitarian serviceability in design. Rather than sticking to the established precepts of prescriptive design rules, design has turned toward the achievement of specific results through procedures that are tailored for different buildings and uses. These procedures represent notable research contributions, but they are complicated conceptually for implementation in structural engineering practice, and nonlinear building response estimates, frequently assumed to be performance, can vary within broad limits even for simple applications.

Fundamental Concepts of Performance Based Earthquake Engineering Sucuoğlu, Haluk (null; 2015-08-29) In modern earthquake engineering, seismic performance properties are more important than the resistance properties of structures. Seismic performance of a structure is related to the expected damage level under an earthquake excitation, and how this damage relates to safety and use of the building. Accordingly, estimation of member deformations becomes more critical than the estimation of internal forces since the deformations in the post elastic regions of the structure are well correlated with damage in t...
Analytical study on seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete buildings using steel braces with shear link Durucan, Cengizhan; Dicleli, Murat (2010-10-01) This paper is focused on a proposed seismic retrofitting system (PRS) configured to upgrade the performance of seismically vulnerable reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The PRS is composed of a rectangular steel housing frame with chevron braces and a yielding shear link connected between the braces and the frame. The retrofitting system is installed within the bays of an RC building frame to enhance the stiffness, strength and ductility of the structure. The PRS and a conventional retrofitting system usin...
Seismic response of a single story innovative steel frame system Dicleli, Murat (2005-01-01) The presented research studies the seismic response of a new braced steel frame type and a new design philosophy that will focus on minimizing damage to the essential structural members and ensuring satisfactory post-earthquake performance of steel buildings under service loads with minimal rehabilitation costs. The proposed frame type is composed of beams and columns with rigid connections, chevron braces and a conventional energy-dissipating member called the shear element connected between the braces and...
Investigation of overstrength in asymmetrıc-plan structures as an optımum design strategy Kaatsız, Kaan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2017-10-13) Uneven distribution of seismic demand in asymmetric-plan structures is a widely investigated issue in the field ofearthquake engineering. Contemporary seismic design strategies, which are based on linear elastic behaviour of thestructure and employ uniform design parameters (single load reduction factor, etc.) throughout an asymmetric system,generally show poor performance in terms of realized ductilities and non-uniform damage distribution due to strongtorsional coupling associated with asymmetric-plan sys...
Seismic collapse safety based optimization of steel Moment-Resisting frames Gholizadeh, Saeed; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Eser, Hasan; Koçkaya, Okan (2022-11-01) Structures must have a reasonable seismic safety margin in order to ensure life-safety as well as to prevent structural collapse caused by earthquakes. On the other hand, the cost-efficiency and economy of structures are important and integral parts of structural engineering. The main aim of the current study is to propose an efficient methodology for designing cost-efficient multi-story special steel moment-resisting frames at predefined levels of seismic collapse safety. To achieve this purpose, a seismic...
