Reinforced concrete is a kind of structural system, which plays a lead role in shaping the built environment throughout the twentieth century in Turkey and throughout the world. From the beginning of the century this carrier system was seen as part of modernization project in Turkey as in many countries, spread over the entire country in rural and urban areas. This structural system’s features, advantages and disadvantages must be known by architects who design the artificial environment. This study has been carried out to examine the approaches for teaching reinforced concrete structures’ static and dynamic behavior to architecture department’s senior students and to develop a common language use with civil engineers in their professional life. It was conducted on the last year undergraduate students at Gazi University Department of Architecture. A ten-question survey form designed by the researcher to collect data. The students’ expectations from reinforced concrete course compared with the current situation by the answers. Currently, the main mission of departments of architecture which give Professional architectural education is to attribute the reinforce concrete courses to numerical analysis in means of resizing the structural elements due to the need to equip the individuals who start education. So this fact it indicates that purely formal evaluation is not sufficient in creation of contemporary architectural spaces equipped with reinforced concrete structural systems. However, some of architecture students never see themselves as a discipline to do calculations or analysis.

The Conservation principles for the brick and tile factories in Eskişehir Tülce, Ayten Hüma; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012) The aim of this thesis is to develop conservation principles for the brick and tile industry in Eskişehir, one of the symbolic industrial cities in Turkey where brick and tile has been the significant production from the Early Republic Period. The conservation of these structures, complexes and mechanical elements is a controversial issue owing to their physical, economical, social and administrative values. The principles how to conserve and why is searched through discussions on conservation approaches, d...
HYSTERETIC RESPONSE OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE INFILLED FRAMES ALTIN, S; ERSOY, U; TANKUT, T (1992-08-01) Strengthening of framed reinforced concrete structures by cast-in-place reinforced concrete infills is commonly used in practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of such infilled frames under seismic loads. For this purpose, 14 two-story, one-bay infilled frames are tested under reversed cyclic loading simulating seismic action. The variables investigated are thc effect of type of infill reinforcement, thc connection between the frame and thc infill, and the flexural capacity of c...
A nonlinear equivalent frame model for displacement based analysis of unreinforced brick masonry buildings Demirel, İsmail Ozan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Although performance based assessment procedures are mainly developed for reinforced concrete and steel buildings, URM buildings occupy significant portion of building stock in earthquake prone areas of the world as well as in Turkey. Variability of material properties, non-engineered nature of the construction and difficulties in structural analysis of perforated walls make analysis of URM buildings challenging. Despite sophisticated finite element models satisfy the modeling requirements, extensive experi...
A comparative study on earthquake resistance of reinforced concrete and masonry residential buildings in small-scale cities of Turkey Er Akan, Aslı; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) Today the vast majority of urban population in Turkey is living in multi-story apartment blocks constructed of reinforced concrete due to the fact that in the late 19th century concrete and steel took the place of traditional materials such as masonry. However, it cannot be denied that masonry is still a crucial material for load bearing walls, internal walls and cladding of buildings. In addition to this masonry construction system has many advantages. From the architectural point of view, it provides flex...
The seismic well-being of buildings: Diagnostics and remedies Wasti, Syed Tanvir; Ersoy, Ugur (2005-06-01) An overview of old as well as emerging problems and solutions in earthquake engineering with particular emphasis on the assessment and rehabilitation of seismically vulnerable buildings is presented. Earthquakes continue to result in vast loss of life and damage to property especially in populated urban areas. As a result, with an increase in both awareness and experience, traditional repair and strengthening techniques are giving way to more efficient methods applicable on a larger scale and with greater s...
