Condition assessment of historic masonry structures by NDE and monitoring
Aktas Erdem, Y. D.; Türer, Ahmet (2010-07-23)
The condition assessment of historical structures exhibits additional difficulties in comparison to that of modern structures such as the lack of applicable standards and eventual complications that can arise during material characterization. The effective use of appropriate Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and health monitoring techniques would help to overcome these difficulties. The need for general guidelines is therefore obvious for deciding which non-destructive techniques and monitoring methods shoul...
Condition factor for seismic performance of deteriorated bridges
Ocak, E. Canan; Caner, Alp (IOS Press, 2019-01-01)
Bridges located at moderately or highly aggressive environments can be subjected to different levels of deterioration. Deterioration can be observed as cracking or spalling of concrete and corrosion of reinforcement. Among them corrosion of reinforcement is the main concern in capacity reduction due to loss of steel area and reduction in yield strength. Corrosion may even induce total collapse of bridge. In many cases, reinforced concrete bridges constructed over rivers exposed to reinforcement corrosion at...
Performance Monitoring of Rammed Aggregate Piers: A Stockyard Case History Site
Kurt Bal, Ece; Öner, Lale; Çetin, Kemal Önder (null; 2018-06-07)
This paper investigates the design aspects of Rammed Aggregate Pier® (RAP) treatment as a composite treatment for the unfavourable ground conditions, the construction, QA/QC measures and the verification of the performance via a comprehensive instrumentation scheme. For this purpose, instrumented full scale load test was performed for the stockyard project site in Izmir, Turkey. The soil profile is comprised of fill and soft sandy clay layers overlain by the pyroclastic bedrock. 6 to 18 m long RAP elements ...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation
Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01)
This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...
Performance evaluation of a three-storey unreinforced masonry building during the 1992 Erzincan earthquake
Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (1997-03-01)
Seismic performance of a three-storey unreinforced masonry building which survived the 1992 Erzincan earthquake without damage is evaluated. Mechanical properties of the masonry walls have been determined experimentally by using identical brick and mortar used in construction. An accurate material model is developed for masonry and employed in a computer program for the non-linear dynamic analysis of masonry buildings. The analytical results based on measured material properties indicated that masonry build...
