Double-slotted beam (DSB) system has recently been analyzed as a possible method to generate desirable ductility and to prevent damage penetration inside the beam-column joints. In this system, the only modification is on the beam geometry and the other RC elements are similar to the conventional RC construction. The slots placed at the both ends of the RC beams enhance the ductility of the RC beams and if the slots are designed to be located some distance apart from the column face, they also prevent joint failures under the effect of extreme demands. The other advantage of this system is that the construction stages of DSB system is no different than the one utilized during conventional RC construction. Therefore, this system is a good candidate for practical applications. This study will begin with a brief summary of DSB system. Then, the effect of DSB on the performance and behavior of RC frames will be investigated. To this end, numerical models will be generated for both DSB and conventional RC frame systems. After that, the effects of DSB on the seismic properties, lateral stiffness and lateral capacity curve of RC frames will be examined in detail by performing modal and pushover analyses.

Effect of inelastic behaviour of load bearing walls on the frame–wall structural systems
Güler, Gökay; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of material and geometric nonlinearities occurring in beams, columns and walls of RC frame-wall structural systems when undergoing severe ground excitations. For this purpose, a low-rise RC building is considered with and without walls, and the joining beams and columns are designed with the strong-column weak-beam concept. The dimensions, material properties and the reinforcement amounts are calculated in accordance with the values suggested in desi...
Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01)
An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Effect of variable friction coefficient on sheet metal drawing
Darendeliler, Haluk; Yucesoy, CA (Elsevier BV, 2002-02-01)
A variable friction model that relates the parameters of sheet metal drawing to the local lubrication conditions taking place during the deformation, has been integrated to a finite element program. Variable friction coefficients for the contacting surfaces are determined from the friction model, which uses the related parameters obtained at each time step of the finite element program as inputs. A number of numerical runs have been performed and the strains are compared with the experimental results for ci...
Effect of non-condensable gases on the adsorption properties of adsorbent porous media
Bayman, Orhan Ata; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Non-condensable gases such as air can penetrate into adsorption machines that utilize adsorbates which work at negative gage pressures. As many adsorption cooling/heat pump applications involve such negative gage pressures, it becomes important to research the effects of such non-condensable gases on the adsorption properties. In this thesis, prescribed amounts of air have been injected into an experimental apparatus containing an adsorbent bed and an evaporator/condenser to observe the effects of air on th...
Effect of solidification rate on spatial distribution of SiC particles in A356 alloy composites
CETIN, Arda; Kalkanlı, Ali (Elsevier BV, 2008-08-26)
The damage and deformation behaviour of particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs) can be highly sensitive to local variations in spatial distribution of reinforcement particles, which markedly depend on melt processing and solidification stages during production of PMMCs. The present paper attempts to study the effect of solidification rate on cluster formation in an Al-Si-Mg (A356) alloy composite reinforced with SiC particles and to explore the applicability of spatial functions to PMMC micro...
