Damage prediction of existing buildings against natural events is a challenge for engineers. Although several approaches have been proposed in the bibliography for damage assessment of steel and concrete structures, more studies are required to survey the damage state of masonry buildings. In this research, seismic damage of a historical masonry building, named Arge-Tabriz, has been assessed using region-specified simulated ground motion records. The main goal of the research is to predict the damage levels of Arge-Tabriz monument under probable earthquakes. Potential scenario earthquakes with different magnitudes are simulated to evaluate the seismic damage of the Arge-Tabriz building. For ground motion simulation of the scenario earthquakes, the stochastic finite-fault methodology, which employs a finite-fault approach comprised of point-source models, is used. The building is modeled using macro-modeling approach; and for the masonry material, concrete damaged plasticity constitutive model is utilized. After performing nonlinear dynamic analyses of the model in ABAQUS commercial software, the damage state of the building is assesses through failure area and failure volume methods, Park-Ang damage index, performance limits proposed by FEMA 356, and finally tensile damage variable DAMAGET as ABAQUS output variable. The accuracy of the employed numerical method is verified through comparison of the developed damage patterns with the existing damage patterns of the building. The results disclose that failure area and failure volume indices have the highest accuracy, while the drift limits of FEMA 356 have the lowest precision to predict the damage level of the building. The application of region-specific simulated scenario earthquakes reveals that the building has adequate strength to resist against weak seismic events and it experiences moderate damage, keeping up its whole stability under moderate potential events; while it is susceptible to collapse against severe earthquakes, and therefore, a rehabilitation scheme seems to be essential for preserving this valuable heritage.

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...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Masonry Buildings in Istanbul for Effective Risk Mitigation Erberik, Murat Altuğ (SAGE Publications, 2010-11-01) Unreinforced and non-engineered masonry buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic hazard and constitute a significant percentage of earthquake losses, including both casualties and economic losses. This study presents an engineering application on seismic safety assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings in Istanbul, Turkey, a metropolitan city under very high seismic risk. Nearly 20,000 masonry buildings were examined through a two-stage assessment procedure in order to identify the addresses of t...
Lattice modeling and testing of aerated autoclaved concrete infilled frames Aydın, Beyazıt Bestami; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-01-01) Significant infill wall damage in reinforced concrete frame buildings was observed in the past earthquakes. A vast number of numerical approaches have been proposed to estimate the non-linear behavior of infilled frames at different scales. Mesoscale lattice models were successfully used in the past to simulate the behavior of reinforced concrete member response. In this study, two-dimensional mesoscale lattice approach with an extended calibration technique was consistently applied to simulate the response...
Seismic demands of bare and base-isolated steel frames for real against simulated records of a past earthquake Ozsarac, Volkan; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (2021-02-01) A challenging task in earthquake engineering is investigation of engineering demand parameters under regional records of large earthquakes due to inherently low frequency of these events. Use of simulated records in such cases is a recent alternative. Ground motion simulations were traditionally performed to model physical processes in earthquake occurrences. Nowadays, simulations are also used for engineering purposes. However, detailed assessment of simulated records against real data including their effe...
