Traditional timber frames in Turkey especially the ones in Safranbolu region consist of several configurations and several infill materials. The configurations include simple frames and braced frames. The infill materials include adobe, stone, brick or wood. Although the frames have a wide variety they do not have specific calculations and design rules. They were designed according to the knowledge and experience of the skilled workers. Therefore, the behaviour depends on workmanship too much. In this study two full scale timber frames of yellow pine and fir were prepared considering the abovementioned discussions. Each frame have the same geometry. They are both 3.3 m high and 3.6 m wide. They do not include any openings. Frames have nailed connections and prepared by the skilled workers. Tests were performed both on bare frames and frames with infills. The yellow pine frame had adobe infill whereas the fir one had wood laths nailed to the timber framing called "şamdolma". Results of the tests revealed that energy is dissipated at the connections especially at the nails on the base. The weakest element in all frames was the nailed connections. Both infills increased the strength.

Material Characterization of Mudbrick and Neighbouring Plasters in Traditional Timber Framed Structures Erdil, Meltem; Madani, Nigar; Alam, Burhan; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe (null; 2017-07-06) The 19th century timber dwellings reflect the experience of the past on materials and construction technologies of the traditional timber frame structures in Anatolia. However, those houses suffer mostly from wrong repairs due to incompatible materials and inappropriate construction detailing. Wrong repairs introduce and/or accelerate many problems, such as moisture problems, salt decay, thermal and structural failures. Comprehensive studies are, therefore, needed to improve the knowledge for the planning o...
Evaluation of performance based displacement limits for reinforced concrete columns under flexure Solmaz, Taylan; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Reinforced concrete frame buildings are the most common type of constructions in Turkey which are exposed to various types of forces during their lifetime. Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings is dominated by columns which can be classified as primary members of these structures. When current codes are considered, all of them contain several provisions in order to implement reliable seismic performances of reinforced concrete columns. In order to evaluate the accuracy of these provisio...
Effects of masonry infill walls on the seismic performance of buildings Öztürk, Mehmet Selim; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) In Turkey, in most of the reinforced concrete buildings, hallow masonry infill walls are used as a non-structural element, during design stage, their contribution to overall building behavior is not well known. Observations made after the earthquakes revealed that these non-structural elements had beneficial effects on the lateral capacity of the building. In this study, the contribution of the hallow masonry infill walls to the lateral behavior of reinforced concrete buildings was investigated. For this pu...
Application of Mesh Reinforced Mortar for Performance Enhancement of Hollow Clay Tile Infill Walls Ezzatfar, Pourang; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Özcebe, Güney (2014-01-01) The use of mesh reinforcement with mortar on existing brick infill walls of reinforced concrete (RC) frames is a recommended seismic strengthening procedure in the Turkish Seismic Code (2007). The premise of the method lies in its ease of application and success in eliminating the out-of-plane failure of existing infill walls. The performance of the mesh reinforced mortar (MRM) application was investigated by pseudo-dynamic (PsD) and cyclic testing. A three-story-three-bay 1:2 scale RC frame with hollow cla...
Behavior of reinforced concrete deep beam with web openings strengthened with (CFRP) sheet Jasim, Waleed A.; Tahnat, Yazan B. Abu; Halahla, Abdulsamee M. (2020-08-01) Deep beams are used in various applications in reinforced concrete (R.C.) structures. There have been continuous efforts to enhance and improve the performance of these crucial elements in (R.C.) structures by using several strengthening techniques such as using the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). However, by exploring the literature, none of the previously conducted experimental tests have studied the propagation of cracks beneath the (CFRP) sheets. In this research, the propagation of the first di...
