Observations after several earthquakes revealed that infill walls may significantly alter the response of reinforced concrete frame buildings. They increase the lateral stiffness and strength of frames subjected to low to moderate in-plane seismic excitation, however they may experience sudden failure under the combined action of in-and out-of-plane seismic demands. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is a popular choice of infill wall material due to its advantages such as light weight, good insulation and high durability. In this study, the in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour of AAC infill walls were investigated by conducting combined in-plane and out-of-plane tests. Three specimens were tested under the action of in-plane (IP) deformation demands and out-of-plane (OOP) acceleration induced forces. Sudden OOP failure with limited ductility was observed under the combined IP-OOP loading at a drift ratio of about 1%, which was significantly smaller than the drift capacity of RC frame subjected to in-plane loading only. An interaction diagram in the form of sustainable interstory drift ratio to out-of-plane acceleration demands were obtained from the test results. The results demonstrated the importance of considering IP and OOP interaction for safe design of RC frame buildings.

Lattice modeling and testing of aerated autoclaved concrete infilled frames Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-01-01) Significant infill wall damage in reinforced concrete frame buildings was observed in the past earthquakes. A vast number of numerical approaches have been proposed to estimate the non-linear behavior of infilled frames at different scales. Mesoscale lattice models were successfully used in the past to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete member response. In this study, two-dimensional mesoscale lattice approach with an extended calibration technique was consistently applied to simulate the response...
Displacement-based seismic rehabilitation of non-ductile RC frames with added shear walls Karageyik, Can; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Non-ductile reinforced concrete frame buildings constitute an important part of the vulnerable buildings in seismic regions of the world. Collapse of non-ductile multi story concrete buildings during strong earthquakes in the past resulted in severe casualties and economic losses. Their rehabilitation through retrofitting is a critical issue in reducing seismic risks worldwide. A displacement-based retrofitting approach is presented in this study for seismic retrofitting of medium height non-ductile concret...
Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01) Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
Dynamic responses of two blocks under dynamic loading using experimental and numerical studies Cihan, H. K.; Ergin, Ayşen; Cihan, K.; Güler, Işıkhan (2015-01-01) Block type quay walls are one of the most generally used type of gravity quay walls however seismic risks of this kind of structures have not already received the proper amount of attention. In this study, stability of block type quay wall which consists of two concrete blocks is investigated experimentally and numerically. 1 g shaking table tests are used for experimental study. Model scale is 1/10 and model is placed on rigid bed to ignore damage due to foundation deformation. Two different granular mater...
