Masonry has been one of the most popular construction materials for centuries as it provided economical solutions for sheltering problems worldwide. Turkey, as a country with significant portion of its land in seismic zones, has a masonry building stock in the order of millions, most of which built in the twentieth century. In addition to the complications associated with anisotropic and composite nature of masonry buildings, the accurate estimation of seismic demands with simple yet accurate analytical tools is an extremely challenging task. A comprehensive research project was initiated at Middle East Technical University comprising of in-situ material strength determination from ten existing masonry buildings, two building tests including forced vibration and lateral load testing, and numerical simulations for calibration and modelling of existing masonry buildings. Making use of these experimental and simulation results, available seismic assessment techniques based on linear elastic analysis were refined. More specifically, lower bound material strength values, effective pier stiffness models and performance limit states for masonry walls were proposed. The overviews of the proposed revisions, which are currently under consideration by the committee, are presented in this paper.

Identifying Masonry Buildings That Are under High Seismic Risk Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış; Yakut, Ahmet; Canbay, Erdem (2015-11-06) Masonry has been one of the most popular construction materials for centuries as it provided economical solutions for sheltering problems worldwide. Turkey, as a country with significant portion of its land in seismic zones, has a masonry building stock in the order of millions, most of which built in the twentieth century. In addition to the complications associated with anisotropic and composite nature of masonry buildings, the accurate estimation of seismic demands with simple yet accurate analytical too...
Theoretical and practical aspects of compaction grouting Tuncdemir, Fatih (2007-01-01) Although not applied in Turkey, compaction grouting has been used widely in many parts of the world and especially in the USA in foundation engineering for reducing the void ratio of soils, relevelling of settled buildings, underpinning of footings and slabs, controlling settlements, and for mitigation of liquefaction potential of the soils in the last 10 to 15 years. In this study, a theoretical approach regarding compaction grouting has been presented, injection parameters and theological properties of th...
A Soil improvement case study using rammed stone column systems Beşler, Osman Fatih; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Nowadays, the rammed stone columns and similar systems are used worldwide more and more frequently as an economical way for improvement of the foundation soils. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the rammed stone column system by predicting settlements and bearing capacity increase through evaluation of failure mechanisms of reinforced soil layers loaded in compression. Conventional approaches of design are compared with the results of finite element models using softwar...
Tokat, geleneksel konut dokusunun biçimlenişinde iklimsel tasarım ilkeleri Bıyık, Hatice (null; 2019-04-12) Geleneksel konutlar, yerel ve doğal malzeme kullanılarak geleneksel yapım teknikleri ile inşa edilmiş, yüzyıllardır bulundukları topoğrafya ve iklim ile uyumlu, sürdürülebilir çözümler sunmuştur. İklimsel tasarıma dolayısıyla yaz ve kış koşullarına uygun olan geleneksel konutlar enerji kullanımı açısından da tasarruflu ve ekonomik örnekler oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada Orta Karadeniz bölgesinde yer alan ve Karadeniz ile İç Anadolu bölgeleri arasında geçiş özelliği taşıyan bir iklime sahip olan Tokat kentinin ...
A Lower-bound limit analysis solution for lateralload capacity of masonry walls Karadeniz, Derya; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019) Masonry exists from very past centuries around the world which is used not only for sheltering, most of historical architectural masterpieces are masonry structures. Masonry offers advantages in many areas such as easy supply of materials, easy to construct and thermal durability of materials. However, the analysis of masonry buildings is not a easy task. Various reasons such as the diversity of materials used and the lack of characteristic properties of these materials, lack of design regulations and the f...
