The walk-down and preliminary seismic vulnerability assessment procedures for low-to-mid-rise RC school buildings are examined by detailed analysis. The correlation of significant damage-inducing parameters and the performance is studied by using results obtained from detailed analysis. The databases of the Ministry of Environment and Urban Planning and the Governorship of İstanbul are used for this study. 321 RC School buildings that were assessed using the 2007 Turkish Earthquake Code were employed. The parameters used for walk-down and preliminary analysis methods are analyzed statistically for the databases used. A representative database of buildings consisting of 36 buildings from different heights was formed. All 36 RC school buildings are also analyzed by 2013 and 2019 versions of Urban Renewal Law and 2007 and the new (2018) version of the Turkish EQ Code. Fragility analysis for 3, 4, and 5-story RC school buildings are studied, and Fragility Curves are formed using both bilinear and stiffness and strength degradation (Modified Clough) material models. Obtained F.C.s are validated by the observed performance data of RC school buildings after 2003 Bingöl EQ F.C.s are formed for repeated EQs. Therefore, the study provides a wide and reliable database for seismic vulnerability assessment of RC school buildings in Turkey.

Seismic Response Analysis and Optimum Design Of A Concave Ball Support İsolated System for A Three Story Concrete Structure Kaplan, Halit; Dölen, Melik (2003-10-10) This paper investigates the seismic response and optimum design of a base isolation system for earthquake protection of structures. The system incorporates spherical supports for the base, a specially designed spring-cam system to keep the base rigidly supported under normal conditions and to allow it to move for the duration of the earthquake under the constraint of a spring with optimized stiffness characteristics. A single degree of freedom structure was considered to investigate the feasibility of the c...
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,...
Linear modal combination procedure for structural dynamics Tanışer, Sadun; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Earthquake engineering practice utilizes different analysis procedures in the estimation of seismic demands on structures. These procedures are mainly divided into two groups as static and dynamic procedures. Dynamic procedures are more accurate than the static procedures since they include the entire history of any response parameter during the ground motion. Nevertheless, there are also approximate but much simpler static analysis procedures that overcome high computational demands and inherent difficulti...
Seismic hazard assessment for Cyprus Cagnan, Zehra; TANIRCAN, GÜLÜM (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01) In the present study, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was conducted for Cyprus based on several new results: a new comprehensive earthquake catalog, seismic source models based on new research, and new attenuation relationships. Peak ground acceleration distributions obtained for a return period of 475 years for rock conditions indicate high hazard along the southern coastline of Cyprus, where the expected ground motion is between 0.3 and 0.4 g. The rest of the island is characterized by values repr...
Prediction of potential damage due to severe earthquakes Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Pay, AC (2004-01-01) A statistical model is developed to estimate the seismic vulnerability of low- to mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings. The model is based on a novel utilization of the discriminant analysis technique of multivariate statistics. Number of stories above the ground level (N), soft story index (SSI), overhang ratio (OHR), minimum normalized lateral stiffness index (MNLSTFI), minimum normalized lateral strength index (MNLSI) and normalized redundancy score (NRS) are selected as the basic estimation variables....
