Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties

Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material's properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in Turkey, masonry buildings are assessed generally based on the recommended material properties specified in relevant codes as opposed to testing of samples taken from the existing buildings. However, due to different material types and workmanship quality, the specified properties might be quit...
Seismic behavior assessment of low-rise reinforced concrete structural walls using quasi-static reversed cyclic loading protocol
Ezzatfar, Pourang; Canbay, Erdem; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
The reinforced concrete shear walls of low- to mid-rise residential buildings, having height to length ratio ranging from 1 to 3, are more of a concern in research studies in recent years. Since the failure mode of these walls depends on the interaction between shear and flexural action, predicting the failure mode of this type of shear walls is not straight forward. While seismic behavior of highrise walls (i.e. aspect ratio greater than about 3) is almost known and theoretical assumptions matches well wit...
Seismic Performance Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with a Hybrid Modeling Approach
Aldemir, Alper; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Demirel, I. Ozan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (SAGE Publications, 2013-02-01)
This study proposes a hybrid modeling approach for the seismic performance assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings. The method combines finite-element and equivalent-frame approaches such that more powerful features of each approach are utilized. The finite-element approach is used to model the masonry components of different geometrical and material characteristics with a high level of accuracy. Then this numerically simulated database is used in the analytical modeling of masonry buildings with equiv...
Seismic performance assessment of confined masonry buildings
Çitiloğlu, Cihan; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
Although it is a known fact that confined masonry construction has many advantages over unreinforced masonry construction, its application has been very limited in Turkish construction practice. One of the reasons for this issue is that the seismic regulations in Turkey do not explicitly enforce or even encourage the use of confined masonry structural systems. Now, being on the verge of releasing a new version of the Turkish seismic code, it seems to be an appropriate time to adapt confined ma-sonry to the ...
Seismic assessment of reinforced concrete beam-to-column connections under reversed cyclic loading
Akın, Umut; Burak Bakır, Burcu; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Prior experimental research clearly reveals that the performance of reinforced concrete frame structures under earthquake loading is closely related to the behavior of beam-to-column connection regions. In order for a reinforced concrete building to have an adequate response under high lateral deformations, beam-to-column connections should be able to preserve their integrity. However, even today beam-to-column connections are assumed to be rigid or elastic, leading to an incorrect estimation of the structu...
