In recent decades, base isolation systems for buildings are commonly used as retrofitting strategy in earthquake-prone areas. Evaluation of structural responses for base-isolated systems subjected to severe earthquakes is challenging since some regions have scattered ground motion dataset. Simulated ground motions can be an alternative to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation methods available that provide varying levels of goodness fit between observed and synthetic data; therefore, simulated motions need to be investigated in terms of their efficiency in the prediction of alternative structural demands corresponding to base-isolated buildings. Herein, a six-story steel moment-resisting frame is selected from the SAC Steel Project and retrofitted with lead rubber bearings in accordance with ASCE 7‐10. Then, nonlinear time-history analysis of the structure is carried out using the real and simulated records of the 6 April 2009 L′Aquila (Italy) earthquake (Mw=6.3). For this purpose, simulated records generated based on the Hybrid Integral-Composite method are employed. Results of analyses are compared in terms of alternative response parameters including inter-story drifts, base displacements, base shear and accelerations at each story level. Overall, the difference in terms of the real and estimated demand parameters from the ground motion simulation technique is negligible.

ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE GROUND MOTION SIMULATION TECHNIQUES IN NONLINEAR TIME HISTORY ANALYSES OF BASE ISOLATED MULTI-STORY FRAME BUILDING: A CASE STUDY
Ozsarac, Volkan; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (null; 2018-09-02)
In recent decades, base isolation system for buildings has been commonly used as retrofitting strategy. Evaluation of structural responses for such a system subjected to severe earthquakes is challenging since some regions have very few and scatted ground motion data set. Simulated ground motions can be an alternative to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation methods available that provide varying levels of goodness fit between observed and synthetic data; therefore, it is important...
Numerical comparison of retaining system behavior for a deep excavation case with and without ground improvement
Maghsoudloo, Arash; Ahmadinaghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2012-11-02)
In the construction of deep excavations in urban areas, the safety of adjacent ground and structures becomes major concern for engineers. In soft clays, the main reason for occurrence of large deflections of soil support systems in excavations is instability of the excavation base. This paper will focus on analyzing and comparing design of an excavation with and without jet grout improvement applied to the excavation base by employing the finite-element code PLAXIS. A well-documented case study is analyzed,...
COMPARISON OF REAL AND SIMULATED RECORDS IN TERMS OF SEISMIC INPUT ENERGY FOR A BASE ISOLATED STRUCTURE
Özsaraç, Volkan; Karimzadeh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2021-10-01)
Base isolation systems have been recently employed for structures as retrofitting strategies especially in seismologically active zones. For such base isolated systems, one challenging task is the investigation of seismic demand parameters under destructive earthquakes. Since the number of recorded ground motions corresponding to large intensities is limited, use of simulated records is an alternative option to overcome this issue. There are several ground motion simulation approaches with various levels of...
Optimum design of double-layer grid systems: comparison with current design practice using real-life industrial applications
Aydıncılar, Yılmaz; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Double-layer grid systems are three-dimensional pin-jointed structures, which are generally used for covering roofs having large spans. In this study, evolution strategies method is used to optimize space trusses. Evolution strategies method is a type of evolutionary algorithms, which simulate biological evolution and natural selection phenomenon to find the best solution for an optimization problem. In this method, an initial population is formed by various solutions of design problem. Then this initial po...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures
Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01)
Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
