The implementation of performance-based design procedures for the seismic-resistant design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures requires the use of accurate and consistent analysis software. The software should be able to incorporate a variety of RC members, reinforcing details, material models and failure modes. In addition to developing a global force vs. deformation relation for the structure, the software should store information on the inelastic behavior of individual members. This paper surveys software currently available for pushover analysis of RC structures and compares their consistency, accuracy, ease of use, and range of output information. The general conclusion is that output from different software packages is not consistent and that proper use of these software packages requires well-educated users.

Modeling patterns and cultures of embedded software development projects Akdur, Deniz; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2018) Due to their multiple constraints across different dimensions of performance and quality, the analysis, design, implementation and testing of software-intensive embedded systems are not trivial, which makes their development more challenging. To cope with these growing complexities, modeling is a widely used approach in this industry. However, the modeling approaches in embedded software vary since the characteristics of diagram development and usage (e.g., purpose, modeling rigor, medium type used, modelin...
Representations of Performative Architecture in Design Synthesis Ataman, Cem; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2019-04-11) The design process covers the entire sequence of design activities and includes individual loops of briefing, analysis and synthesis within evaluation and decision making. The development of computer tools that support design synthesis are especially significant for connecting different study fields, which is essential in performative building design. Computational design synthesis includes four major activities as Cagan (2005) states, which are representation, generation, evaluation and guidance in perform...
Analysis and design of conformal frequency selective surfaces / Dalkılıç, Akın; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) An efficient analysis and design approach for conformal frequency selective surface (FSS) structures is developed. The design methodology involves the analysis of both the planar and curved FSS structures. First, planar unit cell analysis of conformal FSS models are accomplished for normal and oblique incidence cases. To prove conformal applicability of planar designs, a semi-finite analysis method is utilized. This method is based on solution of a singly periodic curved FSS structure of semi-cylinder shape...
Automated 3D solid FEM generator of complex structures using laser scan data Sharei, Maha O. M.; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) For newly designed buildings, 3D modeling has become an integral part of analysis and design procedure using several simplified approaches by recognized and available software; in which user manually defines the geometry, loads, material properties, and support conditions of structures. Nevertheless, geometry modeling for historical complex structures, especially for masonry type construction, wall thicknesses, openings, section losses are difficult to be accurately defined in analysis programs. Changing wa...
Characterization of fracture processes by continuum and discrete modelling KALISKE, M.; Dal, Hüsnü; FLEISCHHAUER, R.; JENKEL, C.; NETZKER, C. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-09-01) A large number of methods to describe fracture mechanical features of structures on basis of computational algorithms have been developed in the past due to the importance of the topic. In this paper, current and promising numerical approaches for the characterization of fracture processes are presented. A fracture phenomenon can either be depicted by a continuum formulation or a discrete notch. Thus, starting point of the description is a micromechanically motivated formulation for the development of a loc...
