Although they are strong and durable, masonry walls face demolition due to various reasons. Current research presents the demolition process of a reinforced concrete building having hollow brick masonry infill walls, which was constructed during the 1990s in Cigdem District in Ankara as a cooperative mass housing project. The wall sections with horizontally perforated bricks that were accumulated on the plot as a result of the demolition pointed out that they can be suitable for a reusing project. Bricks, plaster, and mortar samples were tested under compression as well as initial shear strength tests on wall sections in a laboratory. Strength results and other physical parameters assessed stayed above the limiting values defined in the related standards. Therefore, it was concluded that obtained material is appropriate for reusing and a method was proposed for the proper integration.

Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01) Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
Evaluation of performance based displacement limits for reinforced concrete columns under flexure Solmaz, Taylan; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Reinforced concrete frame buildings are the most common type of constructions in Turkey which are exposed to various types of forces during their lifetime. Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings is dominated by columns which can be classified as primary members of these structures. When current codes are considered, all of them contain several provisions in order to implement reliable seismic performances of reinforced concrete columns. In order to evaluate the accuracy of these provisio...
Analysis of a multi-story reinforced concrete residential building damaged under its self-weight Korkmaz, Hasan Husnu; Yakut, Ahmet; Bayraktar, Atilla (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) Reinforced concrete framed residential buildings are remarkably common in Turkey. Observations after recent earthquakes revealed that a great portion of the present building stock has inadequate seismic resistance. Moreover, collapses of several multi-story reinforced concrete buildings under their self-weight have also been observed despite any dynamic activity. The tragic example of the collapse of the "Zumrut" residential building under its self-weight in 2004 and the death of its 93 occupants have highl...
Effects of masonry infill walls on the seismic performance of buildings Öztürk, Mehmet Selim; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) In Turkey, in most of the reinforced concrete buildings, hallow masonry infill walls are used as a non-structural element, during design stage, their contribution to overall building behavior is not well known. Observations made after the earthquakes revealed that these non-structural elements had beneficial effects on the lateral capacity of the building. In this study, the contribution of the hallow masonry infill walls to the lateral behavior of reinforced concrete buildings was investigated. For this pu...
Modelling of strengthened hollow brick infills BARAN, MEHMET; Ozcelik, Ramazan; Sevil, Tugce; Canbay, Erdem (2013-02-01) Strengthening the existing hollow brick infill walls by bonding high-strength precast concrete panels or applying steel fibre reinforced mortar was found to be an occupant-friendly seismic retrofitting technique for the buildings in use with deficient reinforced concrete structural systems. Both techniques convert the existing non-structural hollow brick infill walls into load-carrying structural members. To verify the effectiveness of the techniques, 20 reinforced concrete frames with hollow brick infill w...
