Experimental Study on Seismic Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames by Precast Concrete Panels
BARAN, MEHMET; Tankut, Tugrul (2011-03-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC)frames under cyclic loads strengthened by using precast concrete (PC) panels. The idea is to transform the existing hollow brick infills into strong and rigid infills by bonding relatively high-strength PC panels with a thin layer of epoxy mortar By this method, the seismic behavior of the frame is improved. For this purpose-one being reference-a total of 11 one-third scale, one-hay, two-story deficient RC frames were tested...
Experimental investigation of the seismic behaviour of panel buildings
Yüksel, S. Bahadır; Atımtay, Ergin; Department of Civil Engineering (2003)
Shear-wall dominant multi-story reinforced concrete structures, constructed by using a special tunnel form technique are commonly built in countries facing a substantial seismic risk, such as Chile, Japan, Italy and Turkey. In 1999, two severe urban earthquakes struck Kocaeli and Düzce provinces in Turkey with magnitudes (Mw) 7.4 and 7.1, respectively. These catastrophes caused substantial structural damage, casualties and loss of lives. In the aftermath of these destructive earthquakes, neither demolished ...
Experimental investigation of failure mechanism in cross-ply and fabric curved composite laminates
Çevik, Ahmet; Çöker, Demirkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-8)
Laminated curved-shape composite parts which are used in the spar and ribs in aircraft and wind turbine blades are subjected to high interlaminar tensile and shear stresses. These stresses cause delamination and subsequent reduction in load-carrying capacity. In this study, failure mechanism of cross-ply and fabric curved composite laminates under pure transverse loading are examined experimentally using an in-house designed test fixture. Stress field over the curved beam is obtained with finite element ana...
Experimental investigation of energy dissipation through inclined screens
Balkış, Görkem; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
The main goal of the present study is to investigate the energy dissipation through inclined screens. Recent studies have shown that screens arranged vertically may dissipate more energy than a hydraulic jump does below small hydraulic structures. In the present study a series of laboratory experiments were performed in order to determine the effect of inclination of the screen on the energy dissipated by the screen. The porosity of the screen used in the experiments is 40%. Inclination angle, thickness of ...
Experimental investigation on seismic behavior of eccentric reinforced concrete beam-column-slab connections
Canbolat, Burcu B.; Wight, James K. (2008-03-01)
Design recommendations for reinforced concrete beam-column connections are based on limited experimental studies on the seismic behavior of eccentric connections. To supplement existing information, an experimental study was conducted that focused on the affect of eccentricity of spandrel beams with respect to the column. Specimens included a floor slab and transverse beams to evaluate the effect of slab participation. Test results indicated that including the floor system significantly reduced the negative...
