Steel buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) are one of the most preferred lateral load resisting systems in seismic prone regions due to their high elastic stiffness and high ductility. Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) utilize a core segment which is used as a fuse element to provide a high level of energy dissipation without loss of inherent axial load carrying capacity. Only the yielding part of the entire core segment is subjected to inelastic deformation during a destructive earthquake. Therefore, yield strength and yielding length of the core plates are the most important parameters that influence story drifts and inelastic behavior of BRBs. In this study, four chevron 6-story BRBF archetypes having BRBs with different yield strength and yielding length were designed according to ASCE7-10 and AISC341-10 provisions. Non-linear time history analysis of the archetypes were conducted by considering 44 far-field ground motions defined in FEMA P695 and scaled to Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) for Seismic Design Category Dmax. Story drifts and brace axial strains obtained from time history analyses are reported. The axial strain demands obtained from inelastic time history analyses are compared with the demands recommended by AISC341-10.

Effect of microstructural modification on damage tolerance of 34CrMo4 shaft steel
Ozcan, Burak; Gurer, Goksu; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Wiley, 2020-06-01)
Overall damage tolerances of the heat-treated 34CrMo4 steels having ferritic-pearlitic, bainitic, and tempered-martensitic microstructures were evaluated based on their threshold stress intensity factor prior to small crack propagation, fatigue strength, and fracture toughness under static loading. Kitagawa-Takahashi diagrams were constructed to determine the limiting size of small crack propagation. The micromechanical effects of carbide morphology and phase distribution on quasi-static and dynamic mechani...
Effect of lead core heating on the seismic performance of bridges isolated with LRB in near-fault zones
Ozdemir, Gokhan; Dicleli, Murat (2012-11-01)
In this paper, the effect of lead core heating and associated strength deterioration on the seismic response of bridges isolated with lead rubber bearings (LRB) is investigated as a function of the characteristics of the isolator and near fault ground motions with forward rupture directivity effect. Furthermore, the ability of bounding analyses to provide a design envelope for maximum isolator force and maximum isolator displacement is verified. For this purpose, a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses are c...

Gökçe, Neslihan; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
In this study, the aim is to investigate the stiffness, longitudinal tensile strength and circumferential tensile strength of short fiber reinforced polyester composite pipes produced by centrifugal casting production method. To achieve this aim, theoretical calculation of modulus of elasticity of pipes was done and then test program was carried out on pipe samples produced with three different resin types which were orthophthalic, isophthalic and vinyl ester resin and three different fiber types which were...
Determination of Displacement Amplification Factors for Chevron BRBFs
Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakır; Özkılıç, Yasin Onuralp; Topkaya, Cem (null; 2017-10-05)
Buckling restrained braced frames (BRBFs) can be used as a lateral load resisting system in high seismic regions. In the United States it is necessary to comply with the requirements defined in the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC341- 10) for the design and production of BRBs. In addition, response factors defined in Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7-10) should be utilized. In this study, deflection amplification factor (Cd) is evaluated. Pursuant to this...
Effect of near-fault ground motion and damper characteristics on the seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2007-06-01)
This study is aimed at comparing the seismic performance of steel chevron braced frames (CBFs) with and without fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) as a function of the characteristics of the near-fault (NF) ground motion and FVD parameters. For this purpose, comparative nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses of single and multiple storey CBFs with and without FVDs are conducted using NF ground motions with various velocity pulse periods scaled to have small, moderate and large intensities. Additionally, NLTH anal...
