Introducing RC infills to selected bays in both directions is an effective approach for strengthening existing buildings having various deficiencies. However, if adopted for buildings in use, the building would need to be evacuated before starting the construction, which will last for several months. This would impair the practicality of the method. Hence, strengthening techniques applicable without interrupting the functioning of the building are urgently needed. In this study, it was intended to use existing partitions and non-load bearing exterior masonry infills as structural walls by strengthening them with CFRP strips. This paper reports test results related to frames having hollow clay tile infills strengthened by using CFRP conducted at METU.

Strengthening of deficient RC frames with high strength concrete panels: an experimental study BARAN, MEHMET; Susoy, Melih; Tankut, Tugrul (2011-01-25) An economic, structurally effective and practically applicable strengthening technique was developed for reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings. The idea of the technique is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load carrying system acting as a cast-in-place RC infill wall by bonding relatively thin high strength precast concrete PC panels to the plastered hollow brick infill. For this purpose, a total of eight one-third scale, one bay, one story frames were tested under reversed-cyclic...
Analysis and design of conformal frequency selective surfaces / Dalkılıç, Akın; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) An efficient analysis and design approach for conformal frequency selective surface (FSS) structures is developed. The design methodology involves the analysis of both the planar and curved FSS structures. First, planar unit cell analysis of conformal FSS models are accomplished for normal and oblique incidence cases. To prove conformal applicability of planar designs, a semi-finite analysis method is utilized. This method is based on solution of a singly periodic curved FSS structure of semi-cylinder shape...
Probabilistic approach to assess URM walls with openings using discrete rigid block analysis (D-RBA) Pulatsu, Bora; Gonen, Semih; Parisi, Fulvio; Erdogmus, Ece; Tuncay, Kağan; Funari, Marco Francesco; Lourenco, Paulo B. (2022-12-01) This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational modeling framework using the discrete element method (DEM). The main objective is to predict the structural behavior and capacity of URM walls with openings subjected to lateral loading, considering uncertainties in material properties. The proposed modeling strategy represents masonry as an assembly of rigid blocks interacting along the...
Occupant friendly seismic retrofit (OFR) of RC framed buildings Baran, M; Duvarci, M; Tankut, T; Ersoy, U; Ozcebe, G (2003-05-13) An innovative non-evacuation retrofitting technique is being developed for RC buildings. The introduction of cast-in-place RC infill walls is very effective, but involves messy construction work and requires evacuation. The proposed method transforms existing hollow masonry infill walls by reinforcing them with precast concrete panels epoxy glued to the wall and frame members. Three tests have so far been performed under reversed cyclic loading. The first specimen was an ordinary RC frame with hollow brick ...
Design and Testing of a Linear Generator for Wave-Energy Applications Hodgins, Neil; Keysan, Ozan; McDonald, Alasdair S.; Mueller, Markus A. (2012-05-01) A linear-generator topology is proposed for wave-energy applications. The main significance of the generator topology is that the relative position of the magnets, copper, and steels has been chosen so that there are no magnetic attraction forces between a stator and a permanent-magnet (PM) translator. The lack of magnetic forces and the modular nature of the generator topology make the manufacture and assembly of the generator easier than a conventional iron-cored PM linear generator. Analytical modeling t...
