A positive connection between superstructure and substructure in vertical or horizontal directions cannot be achieved by use of unbonded elastomeric bearings. The horizontal connection of unbonded bearings to the structure is furnished thru friction at contact surfaces while gravitational forces are utilized to maintain contact in vertical direction. An approximate horizontal friction coefficient of 0.20 is typically used at contact surfaces in seismic design based on practice in Turkey. The aim of this study is to identify the static and dynamic characteristics of these unbonded bearings thru an experimental program. In this scope, about a half scale bridge, having a 12 m span length with a 3.5 meter wide concrete deck on three steel I-beams, was constructed on a shake table. Static response of bearings was measured using a combined compression-shear bearing test machine. The experimental results indicated that bonded and unbonded bearings exhibited a similar seismic performance when excited to the same earthquake record. Use of a horizontal friction coefficient of 0.20 in seismic analysis can yield to underestimation of substructure design forces and significant overestimation of seismic displacement demands. A comprehensive parametric study was performed to identify dynamic response of similar simple-span bridges in terms of deck displacements and bearing shear forces.

Directional Effect of the Strong Ground Motion on the Seismic Behavior of Skewed Bridges Atak, B.; AVŞAR, ÖZGÜR; Yakut, Ahmet (2014-07-02) One of the main issues on seismic design of bridges is the determination of strong ground motion application direction in order to capture the most unfavorable situation. The most common approach to this problem is known as 30% combination rule. In this approach, one of the two horizontal components of the strong ground motion record is applied in one principal direction of the bridge whereas the remaining horizontal component is applied to the other direction. Then, the resultant response is calculated by ...
Stochastic geometry model of rock mass fracture network in tunnels Azarafza, Mohammad; Akgün, Haluk; Asghari-Kaljahi, Ebrahim (Geological Society of London, 2018-08-01) Geometric distributions of fractures or discontinuities control the behaviour, and limit the strength and the stability of rock masses where the best stabilization and improvement method for that rock mass could be achieved based on favourable discontinuity geometry. This study introduces an algorithm named 'Stochastic Geometry Model of Fractures Network in Tunnels (SGMFNT)', which was developed with the MA THEMATICA software. The SGMFNT method provides a fractures geometric distribution database to aid dis...
Static and dynamic analysis of shear deformable composite shells of revolution by semi-analytical approach Kayran, Altan (2013-10-18) In the present study, multi-segment numerical integration technique is applied for the static and dynamic analysis of macroscopically anisotropic shells of revolution including transverse shear deformation. Application of the multi-segment numerical integration technique is achieved through the use of finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell of revolution equations governing the static loading and free vibration of the shell of revolution. For the non-axisymmetrically loaded shells of r...
Investigation of mechanical vibrations of double-double cardan shaft and effects on suspension system in armored vehicles Işık, Özgen; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) Cardan joint is used for transmitting angular motion with angled connection. The more misalignment angle is implemented, the more fluctuation occurs in output shaft in terms of twist angle and angular velocity. To present fluctuations in output shaft, two different types of solution methods are proposed, which are ode23s and Newmark’s method. Due to transmission ratio relationship of cardan joint, there occurs nonlinearity in equations of motions. Therefore, proposed methods include solutions for nonlinear ...
Numerical investigation of delamination in L-shaped cross-ply composite bracket Gümüş, M.; Gözlüklü, B.; Çöker, Demirkan (null; 2014-01-01) Interlaminar normal stresses are induced with interlaminar shear stresses leading to mixed-mode delamination (MMD) in curved cross-ply composite laminates. Dynamic mixed-mode delamination is studied using explicit finite element method and Cohesive Zone Modelling Dynamic response of the specimen is compared with the experiments.
