Sway analyses of reinforced concrete buildings generally are carried out with computer programs. However, as the number of iterative solutions increase, the process may become tedious. This paper proposes a simple analytical method to evaluate sway of dual buildings subject to various types of lateral loads. The proposed method is based on the continuum model. Story drift limited by building codes can be controlled by the proposed method. Likewise, design engineers can use the simple analytical expressions to calculate the stability index, which includes sway terms at each story level. Stability index equation without sway terms is obtained by using the developed analytical expressions. Use of the equation, which is free of sway terms, is quite simple. Additionally, by using the proposed method, shear wall-frame interaction can be modeled simply. Thus, moment at the base of shear walls can be determined by using this model.

An approximation method for design applications related to sway in RC framed buildings TEKELİ, Hamide; Atimtay, E.; TÜRKMEN, Mustafa (2015-09-01) In this paper, an approximate method is proposed for determining sway of multistory RC buildings subjected to various types of lateral loads. The calculation of both fundamental period and stability index in RC building requires the sway term at each story level. Using approximate method design engineers can estimate sway terms at each story level. The developed analytical expressions are inserted into fundamental period and stability index equations to replace the sway terms, which yields modified equation...
A nonlinear equivalent frame model for displacement based analysis of unreinforced brick masonry buildings Demirel, İsmail Ozan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Although performance based assessment procedures are mainly developed for reinforced concrete and steel buildings, URM buildings occupy significant portion of building stock in earthquake prone areas of the world as well as in Turkey. Variability of material properties, non-engineered nature of the construction and difficulties in structural analysis of perforated walls make analysis of URM buildings challenging. Despite sophisticated finite element models satisfy the modeling requirements, extensive experi...
A comparative study on different analysis approaches for estimating the axial loads on columns and structural walls at tall buildings Kurç, Özgür (Wiley, 2013-04-01) Estimating axial loads on columns and structural walls at tall buildings is a complicated task because time-dependent deformations of concrete and the way the building is constructed affect the way the gravity loads are carried by them. The accurate computation of axial loads is crucial for determining the size and strengths of columns and structural walls. This study investigates several analysis approaches commonly used during the design of such buildings. Construction sequences, time-dependent deformatio...
A finite element study on the effective width of flanged sections Küçükarslan, Sertaç; Utku, Mehmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Most of the reinforced concrete systems are monolithic. During construction, concrete from the bottom of the deepest beam to the top of slab, is placed at once. Therefore the slab serves as the top flange of the beams. Such a beam is referred to as T-beam. In a floor system made of T-beams, the compressive stress is a maximum over the web, dropping between the webs. The distribution of compressive stress on the flange depends on the relative dimensions of the cross section, span length, support and loading ...
An improved finite grid solution for plates on generalized foundations Karaşin, Abdulhalim; Gülkan, Polat; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) In many engineering structures transmission of vertical or horizontal forces to the foundation is a major challenge. As a first approach to model it may be assumed that the foundation behaves elastically. For generalized foundations the model assumes that at the point of contact between plate and foundation there is not only pressure but also moments caused by interaction between the springs. In this study, the exact stiffness, geometric stiffness and consistent mass matrices of the beam element on two-para...
