This paper reports on results from an ongoing project to study structural identification-based approaches to the condition assessment of constructed facilities. Under such an approach baseline and sequentially identified system models would be used comparatively to track changes in system parameters and to infer the onset, location, and extent of structural damage, deterioration, and/or defects. As part of the initial phases of this research a scale model grid representing a steel girder highway bridge was designed constructed, instrumented and tested at the University of Cincinnati. This paper presents the development, testing, and analysis of this scale model structure and offers the data generated as a benchmark problem on structural identification for the members of the research community.

Joint shear strength prediction for reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections Unal, Mehmet; Burak Bakır, Burcu (2012-02-10) In this analytical study numerous prior experimental studies on reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections subjected to cyclic loading are investigated and a database of geometric properties, material strengths, configuration details and test results of subassemblies is established. Considering previous experimental research and employing statistical correlation method, parameters affecting joint shear capacity are determined. Afterwards, an equation to predict the joint shear strength is formed based o...
Performance-Based Seismic Design of Bitlis River Viaduct Based on Damage Control Using Seismic Isolation and Energy Dissipation Devices Dicleli, Murat (2017-05-28) This paper presents a sample application of seismic isolation techniques in performance-based design of a major viaduct. The Bitlis River viaduct is located in a seismically active region. The targeted performance goal required no damage at 475-year return period earthquake and repairable damage at 2475-year return period earthquake. The bridge is designed with a seismic isolation system composed of spherical bearings and MRSD (Multidirectional Re-centering steel Damper) hysteretic dampers. The MRSD is a re...
Seismic response and vulnerability assessment of Tunnels: a case study on Bolu Tunnels Üçer, Serkan; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) The aim of the study is to develop new analytical fragility curves for the vulnerability assessment of tunnels based on actual damage data of tunnels obtained from past earthquakes. For this purpose, additional important damage data belonging to Bolu Tunnels, Turkey was utilized as a case study. Bolu Tunnels constitute a very interesting case from the earthquake hazard point of view, since two major earthquakes, 17 August 1999 Marmara and 12 November 1999 Düzce, occurred during the construction of the tunne...
Passive damping and seismic isolation steel devices with displacement-dependent hardening Dicleli, Murat (null; 2018-02-02) In this paper, a summary of analytical and experimental studies into the behaviour of a new hysteretic damper and a seismic isolator designed for seismic protection of structures is presented. The Multi-directional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MRSD) and its isolator version MARTI (Multi-Directional Adaptive Torsional Isolator) are patented inventions in which a symmetrical arrangement of identical cylindrical steel cores is so configured as to yield in torsion while the structure experiences planar movement...
Seismic roof isolation of Halkapinar Gymnasium Duran, Cihan Kurtuluş; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) In this study, seismic roof isolation solutions were investigated with a case study of Halkapınar Gymnasium, izmir. In the first part, seismic isolation was explanied and philosophy behind it was given. In the second part, existing seismic roof isolators, elastomeric bearing and viscous damper, were investigated with different support isolation combinations. In the third part, two more types of seismic isolators, lead rubber bearing and friction pendulum isolators, were also analyzed by using the same model...
