This paper describes the performance of a series of single‐story masonry houses observed during a shaking table test program carried out at the University of California Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC), under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The design of the test structures and the conduct of the tests on the earthquake simulator are described in a companion paper. In evaluating the observed performance, the intensity of the test motions was characterized by the measured effective peak acceleration (EPA) so that they could be related to Uniform Building Code seismic zone 2. Based on the observed behavior, it is recommended that zone 2 be divided into subzone 2A for EPA values up to 0.1 g and subzone 2B for values between 0.1 g and 0.2 g. The observed results demonstrate that masonry houses without reinforcement may be permitted in both parts of zone 2 provided that the design guidelines recommended for each subzone are followed.

Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01) An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Tensile behavior of post-installed chemical anchors embedded to low strength concrete YILMAZ, SALİH; Özen, Muhammet Ali; YARDIM, YAVUZ (Elsevier BV, 2013-10-01) In the scope of this paper, tensile capacities of post-installed chemical anchors embedded to 5.9 and 10.9 MPa concrete blocks are investigated. Pull-out tests are applied to 80 ductile steel bars (S420a). For the anchor diameters, 12, 16 and 20 mm are chosen. On the other hand, 10, 15 and 20 times the bar diameter are selected as free-edge distance and embedment depth for monotonic tensile loading tests. The results indicate that installation of anchors into low-strength concrete with sufficient embedment ...
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...
Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading Sarıtaş, Afşin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01) Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the hysteretic behavior of these members. The model is based on a three-field variational formulation with independent displacement, stress, and strain fields. The displacement field is based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The nonlinear response of the element is derived from the section inte...
Effect of Presoaked Expanded Perlite Aggregate on the Dimensional Stability and Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites KESKİN, SÜLEYMAN BAHADIR; Sulaiman, Kamaran; Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-06-01) This paper reports on an investigation of the use of expanded perlite aggregate as saturated lightweight aggregate (LWA) with respect to the mechanical and dimensional stability properties of engineered cemetitious composites (ECC). Expanded perlite aggregate was soaked in water for 24 h before its use in ECC, and replaced 10, 20, and 30% of the aggregate that was used in ECC production. The mixture proportion of a standard ECC mixture with properties that have been extensively reported in the literature is...
