The three-dimensional non-linear earthquake behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings is studied by using a constitutive model established experimentally for burned-clay brick masonry wall panels. The parameter functions appearing in the constitutive model are modified so that they accommodate a wall panel made of a general masonry material. In the study it is assumed that the floors of the masonry building are reinforced concrete slabs which are infinitely rigid in their own planes and that the wall panels possess only in-plane rigidities. Some examples involving earthquake analyses of two different masonry structures are presented. It is found that the predictions of the model used in the study are in harmony with the experimental data available in the literature.

The effect of infill walls on the seismic behavior of boundary columns in RC frames Fenerci, Aksel; Binici, Barış; Ezzatfar, Pourang; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (2016-03-01) The seismic behavior of a 1/2 scaled, three-story three-bay RC frame with masonry infill walls was studied experimentally and numerically. Pseudo-dynamic test results showed that despite following the column design provisions of modern seismic codes and neglecting the presence of infill walls, shear induced damage is unavoidable in the boundary columns. A finite element model was validated by using the results of available one-story one-bay frame tests in the literature. Simulations of the examined test fra...
Effect of soil arching on lateral soil pressures acting upon rigid retaining walls Aydın Ertuğrul, Nihan; Çokça, Erdal; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Retaining walls are encountered in various fields of civil engineering. In many practical applications, the earth pressure against rigid retaining walls are calculated using either Coulomb’s or Rankine’s lateral earth pressure theories. For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed that the lateral earth pressure distribution is linear; however, many experimental results indicated it is significantly nonlinear. Previous physical modeling studies indicated that this nonlinearity results from arching behavior ind...
THE EFFECT OF HORIZONTAL IRREGULARITIES AND BASE ISOLATION CONFIGURATION ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF RC BUILDINGS Yazıcıoğlu, Eylem Bilge; Caner, Alp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Earthquake Studies (2022-2-22) This study aims to evaluate the effect of horizontal irregularities and base isolation configuration on the seismic response of reinforced concrete base-isolated buildings. A set of structural models with varying re-entrant corner geometric properties has been utilized to make evaluations with respect to square-symmetric ordinary form. In addition to this set, alternative models with non-uniform mass distributions in the plan have also been employed to expand the building set. Elastic response spectrum-base...
The Effect of infill walls on the seismic performance of boundary columns in reinforced concrete frames Fenerci, Aksel; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Reinforced concrete frames with unreinforced masonry infill walls constitute a significant portion of the building stock throughout the world. Infill walls in these buildings are generally considered as non-structural elements and neglected during design and assessment. On the other hand, observations after several earthquakes revealed that infill walls may have detrimental effects on the adjacent frame members. This observation brings out the requirement for further research on the effects of infill walls ...
The performance of medium and long span timber roof structures : a comparative study between structural timber and steel Ertaştan, Evren; Erman, Ercüment; Department of Architecture (2005) This thesis analyzes the performance of structural timber and steel in medium and long span roof structures. A technical background about roof structures including structural elements and roof structure types, span definitions, and classification of roof structures are discussed. Roof structures are detailed with traditional and the contemporary forms. The thesis comprises the comparison between structural timber and steel by using structural, constructional and material properties. Structural forms and the...
