In this study, the change in the load-bearing system cost of a reinforced concrete office building has been investigated in relation to the earthquake regions and soil types. Three different office projects each with five stories were investigated. The structural design calculations have been made according to four different soil types and four different earthquake regions. According to each combination, concrete, steel and formwork adopted approximations were calculated to reach the rough cost of each office building. The changes in the cost of projects according to the soil type and earthquake region were examined with multiple regression analysis and analysis of variance. In general, the change in cost has been observed around 22% between first and fourth soil type and 14% between first and fourth earthquake region.

Workability of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete Sahmaran, M; Yurtseven, A; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2005-12-01) Compared to fiber reinforced concrete (FRC), self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a relatively new type of concrete with high flowability and good cohesiveness. It offers very attractive economical and technical benefits, which can be further extended when combined with FRC. In this article two different types of steel fibers were used, in combination, and the effects of fiber inclusion on the workability of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (HFR-SCC) is studied. The effects of fibers are quanti...
Cost assessment of concrete and steel types for office buildings: An exploratory study Kanit, Recep; Ozkan, Omer; Gunduz, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) This paper presents a set of regression models which incorporates concrete and steel types in modeling the costs of office buildings. To these ends, three typical office buildings with seven and 15 stories have been designed by the help of a commercial software taking into account the Turkish practice. In each project C-16, C-20, C-25, C-30 and C-35 concrete classes and S-220 and S-420 steel types were used for dimensioning purposes. Rough construction costs were then calculated for different combinations o...
Re-characterization of architectural style of reinforced concrete building facades by exterior seismic strengthening Toker, Saadet; Ünay, Ali İhsan (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01) Recent earthquakes in Turkey have shown the poor seismic performance of reinforced concrete residential buildings. This led to widespread utilization of several strengthening methods, each of which is convenient in different aspects. However, what is required to apply any of these methods is to evacuate the building in question, since the interruptions are mostly within the building and to the structural members. In this article, a method is introduced for external strengthening of typical reinforced concre...
Re-examination of damage distribution in Adapazari: Geotechnical considerations Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-01) The role of ground conditions in damage distribution patterns of buildings in the city of Adapazari during the 17 August 1999 Izmit (Kocaeli) earthquake (M-w 7.4) is investigated. Damage was concentrated in the central districts of the city over the alluvial basin where four to seven-story reinforced concrete buildings were most adversely affected. Two distinct and mutually exclusive modes of building damage were observed on the alluvium: structural system failures due to strong ground shaking, and foundati...
The assessment of a roof drainage system for an historical building Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Demirci, Şahinde; Caner-Saltik, Emine N. (Elsevier BV, 2007-07-01) Roof drainage systems of historical buildings no longer serving effectively under existing conditions should be repaired according to maintenance programs developed specifically for them through a study of their characteristics, discharge capacities, faults and the climatic conditions prevailing in their environs. The studies necessary for this should ideally be done using non-destructive methods. Such a study was conducted on the roof of a 13th century stone monument, "Agzikarahan", in Aksaray, Turkey, to ...
