A simple procedure to estimate the local displacement demands in regular frame-type structures that respond in elastic limits is described. Given the spectral displacement and beam-to-column stiffness ratio. the procedure estimates the maximum ground story and maximum interstory drifts along the height of the structure. A total of 145 near-fault ground motions recorded oil dense-to-firm soil sites are used for the evaluation of the procedure. The approximate drift demands Computed front this procedure and (lie exact results from 27,550 response history analyses are used for calculating the error statistics. The calculations show that the procedure can be used with confidence for frames with fundamental periods between 0.3 and 1.5 s when they are subjected to near-fault records without pulse. The approximations are in good agreement with the exact response history results of near-fault records with Pulse when the fundamental period to pulse period ratio is less than 1.5. The performance of the new procedure is also compared with other approximate methods that are employed for similar purposes. The method can be useful for preliminary design of new, structures or rapid assessment of existing buildings.

Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections
Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01)
Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
Spectral Ground Motion Intensity Based on Capacity and Period Elongation
Kadas, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet; Kazaz, Ilker (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-03-01)
Ground motion intensity parameters are used to express the relationship between expected structural damage and the seismic forces imposed. The graphical representation of damage probability as a function of ground motion intensity leads to fragility curves that are generally used in loss estimation studies. The most typical parameters used to represent the ground motion intensity are peak ground acceleration, peak ground velocity, spectral acceleration, and spectral displacement. Other parameters obtained f...
FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF PRESTRESSED AND REINFORCED-CONCRETE STRUCTURES
ELMEZAINI, N; CITIPITIOGLU, E (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1991-10-01)
A practical and powerful technique for the discrete representation of reinforcement in finite element analysis of prestressed and reinforced concrete structures is presented. Isoparametric quadratic and cubic finite elements with movable nodes are developed utilizing a correction technique for mapping distortion. Reinforcing bars and/or prestressing tendons are modeled independently of the concrete mesh. Perfect or no bond as well as any bond-slip model can easily be represented. The procedure is succes...
Performance Examination of Two Seismic Strengthening Procedures by Pseudodynamic Testing
Kurt, Efe Gokce; Kurç, Özgür; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-01-01)
Pseudodynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of two retrofit methods on two-story, three-bay frame structures. The test frames had hollow clay tile (HCT) infill in the central bay and incorporated the seismic deficiencies of Turkish construction practice, such as use of plain reinforcing bars, low-strength concrete, and insufficient confining steel. Two noninvasive and occupant-friendly retrofit schemes suggested in the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely, use of fiber-reinforced polyme...
Hysteretic Shear Model for Reinforced Concrete Members
Özcebe, Güney; Saatçioğlu, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 1989-1)
A hysteretic model is proposed for shear response of reinforced concrete members subjected to shear force and bending moment reversals. The model consists of a primary shear force‐shear displacement curve and unloading and reloading branches under cyclic loading. The primary curve is the envelope curve for the hysteretic relationship, and can be considered the same as the force displacement relationship under monotonic loading up to the onset of strength decay. A primary curve established by any acceptable ...
