Seismic protection devices have been used in many new and existing buildings as well as bridges all over the world for the last couple of decades. Latest trends in seismic protection have been focused more on the development of new devices which can provide easy solutions for installation and maintenance while providing the needed energy dissipation during the seismic event. This paper focuses on some new designs of seismic protection for bridges, research of new devices and performance observation of seismic protection devices in a hospital building during a recent earthquake. In this scope, case studies have been presented in this paper.

Seismic retrofit of buildings with backbone dampers Shaban, Nefize; Ozdemir, Seda; Caner, Alp; Akyüz, Uğurhan (2017-01-01) Dampers have been effectively used in new designs and seismic retrofit of old structures in many parts of the world. The common seismic retrofit practice in Turkey is almost purely based on stiffening the structure with additional shear walls or adding braces to limit the excessive seismic drifts. Such an approach usually results in expensive interior works and enlargements of foundations. The stiffening of the structure typically results in attracting more seismic force. Utilization of dampers as seismic p...
Seismic Isolation of Highway Bridges Buckle, Ian; Constantinou, Michael; Dicleli, Murat; Ghasemi, Hamid (Multidisciplinary Center For Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), 2006-08-01) More than 200 bridges have been designed or retrofitted in the United States using seismic isolation in the last 20 years, and more than a thousand bridges around the world now use this cost-effective technique for seismic protection. Intended to supplement AASHTO’s Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design (1999), this manual presents the principles of isolation for bridges, develops step-by-step methods of analysis, explains material and design issues for elastomeric and sliding isolators, and g...
Displacement-based seismic rehabilitation of non-ductile RC frames with added shear walls Karageyik, Can; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Non-ductile reinforced concrete frame buildings constitute an important part of the vulnerable buildings in seismic regions of the world. Collapse of non-ductile multi story concrete buildings during strong earthquakes in the past resulted in severe casualties and economic losses. Their rehabilitation through retrofitting is a critical issue in reducing seismic risks worldwide. A displacement-based retrofitting approach is presented in this study for seismic retrofitting of medium height non-ductile concret...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
