In order to improve the behavior of buildings and in order to prevent total collapse, necessary amount of strengthening must be provided. The frame of the test specimen (1/3 scaled, 2-story, 3-bay) is detailed such that it has the common deficiencies of existing buildings in Turkey. Two types of strengthening techniques, namely introducing an infill RC wall, and CFRP strengthened hollow clay tile wall, are investigated. The test specimens are subjected to reversed cyclic quasi-static loading. By means of special transducers, axial force, shear force and bending moment at the base of the exterior columns are measured. Strength, stiffness, and story drifts of the test specimen are determined.

A comparative structural and architectural analysis of earthquake resistant design principles applied in reinforced concrete residential buildings in Turkey Özmen, Cengiz; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to design earthquake resistant residential structures without significant compromises in the spatial quality and economic viability of the building. The specific type of structural system that this thesis focuses on is the reinforced concrete skeleton system. The parametric examples and key studies that are used in this research are chosen among applied projects in the city of Bolu. This city is chosen due to its location on the North Anatolian Fa...
Determination of Reliabffity Based New Load and Resistance Factors for Reinforced Concrete Structural Members Firat, Fatih Kursat; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih (2014-07-01) In this study, a procedure for the determination of new load and resistance factors for reinforced concrete structural members is proposed in view of the fact that the design practice in Turkey has changed after the occurrence of major earthquakes. The implementation of the procedure is carried out for the shear failure mode of reinforced concrete beams subjected to dead and live load combination. First, the statistical parameters for the quantification of uncertainties involved in the design variables are ...
A Comparative study on nonlinear modeling of structural walls Dursun, Süleyman Eren; Kurç, Özgür; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) The need for tall buildings increases day by day because of many reasons such as increase in population. Representing the behavior of tall buildings under seismic loads is a complicated problem. Thus, in structural engineering, performance based analysis and design approach is generally used for tall buildings which may require nonlinear analysis of buildings. In such an analysis, however, modeling of structural walls has several challenges especially for the ones with irregular cross sections. Therefore, t...
Influence of the shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic performance of existing reinforced concrete buildings Günel, Ahmet Orhun; Burak Bakır, Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the influence of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the behavior of existing mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings under earthquake loading. The seismic performance of five existing school buildings with shear wall ratios between 0.00% and 2.50% in both longitudinal and transverse directions and their strengthened counterparts are evaluated. Based on the structural properties of the existing buildings, additional buildings with varying shear wall ratios are ...
Modelling effects of insufficient lap splices on a deficient reinforced concrete frame Lin, Wesley Wei -Chih; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Binici, Barış; Department of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (2013) In order to reduce seismic risk in vulnerable buildings, buildings identified to be at risk should be assessed and strengthened. Performance evaluation of deficient buildings has become a major concern due to devastating earthquakes in the past. In order to justify new provisions in design and assessment codes, experiments and analyses are inherently necessary. In this thesis study, investigations into the behaviour of two deficient reinforced concrete frames built at Middle East Technical University’s Str...
