Purpose: The purpose of the presented study is to develop fragility curves for the wide-beam infill-joist block reinforced concrete structures. Theory and Methods: Nonlinear time history analyses are performed for the set of selected ground motions. The performance levels are identified through pushover analysis and fragility curves are produced for ground motion parameters. Results: Fragility curves obtained for the wide-beam RC frames presents a different characteristic than the curves obtained for the conventional frames. Conclusion: Results show that wide-beam RC frame buildings are seismically more vulnerable than the conventional deep beam RC frame buildings based on structural models with similar properties. The possible reason seems to be low lateral stiffness of wide-beam frames that causes large lateral drift demands and therefore severe damage at the wide-beam column connections.

Parametric analysis of inelastic interaction in frame-wall structural systems
Seçkiner, Soner; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the inelastic action in the reinforced concrete frame-wall structures analytically and with that analysis to follow the plastic formation of the structure. For this purpose, six mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings with frame-wall are modeled and analyzed to understand the effect of the height and base shear force ratio of the wall on the nonlinear interaction between reinforced concrete wall and frame members under static lateral loads and ground motion excita...
Numerical assessment of tunnel advancement in problematic soil conditions: a case study
Güneş, Anıl; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-1)
Modeling tunnel advancement in complex ground conditions requires significant engineering judgment and is an integral part of the design and construction of tunnels. Insufficient data and improper design procedures may lead to dramatic consequences. Realistic estimations of the ground behavior, displacements, and support pressures are possible with accurate numerical models. In this study, the advancement of Tunnel A93 is investigated by 1-D semi-empirical assessments and two-dimensional finite element anal...
HYSTERETIC RESPONSE OF REINFORCED-CONCRETE INFILLED FRAMES
ALTIN, S; ERSOY, U; TANKUT, T (1992-08-01)
Strengthening of framed reinforced concrete structures by cast-in-place reinforced concrete infills is commonly used in practice. The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of such infilled frames under seismic loads. For this purpose, 14 two-story, one-bay infilled frames are tested under reversed cyclic loading simulating seismic action. The variables investigated are thc effect of type of infill reinforcement, thc connection between the frame and thc infill, and the flexural capacity of c...
Influence of ground motion intensity on the performance of low- and mid-rise ordinary concrete buildings
Akkar, S; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yakut, Ahmet (2004-05-21)
Fragility functions are determined for low- and mid-rise ordinary concrete buildings. A hybrid approach is employed where building capacities are obtained from field data and their dynamic responses are calculated by response history analysis. Lateral stiffness, strength and deformation capacities of the sample buildings are determined by pushover analyses. Uncertainties in lateral stiffness, strength and damage limit states are expressed by using statistical distributions. The seismic deformation demands o...
Seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete frames by precast concrete panels
BARAN, MEHMET; Susoy, M.; Okuyucu, D.; Tankut, T. (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2011-05-01)
An innovative occupant-friendly retrofitting technique has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC)-framed structures which constitute the major portion of the existing building stock. The idea is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load-carrying system acting as a cast-in-place concrete shear wall by reinforcing it with relatively thin high-strength precast concrete panels epoxy bonded to the plastered infill wall and epoxy connected to the frame members. In this study, results of 11...
