© 2021 COMPDYN Proceedings.Ductility demands observed in asymmetric plan structures due to earthquake excitations are investigated in this study. Torsional Ductility Spectra are utilized to estimate the maximum ductility response of such systems. Dynamic response of these systems are dominated by the lower vibration modes and observed seismic behavior is in conformance with the capacity design principles. In order to utilize the Torsional Ductility Spectra, five parameters of the asymmetric plan systems, namely, first mode period, uncoupled frequency ratio, stiffness eccentricity, stiff-to-flexible edge strength ratio and ductility reduction factor are estimated through a novel procedure. Simple formulations for representing the dynamic properties of shear frame systems in terms of described structural parameters are developed. Parametric equivalents of shear frame structures are obtained. Estimated ductilities form the developed charts are compared with those obtained from dynamic response analyses of shear frame asymmetric-plan systems. The observed results indicate that developed spectra are able to estimate the ductility demands at both stiff and flexible side frames of actual asymmetric-plan systems with reasonable accuracy. Based on the conclusions, Torsional Ductility Spectra charts are considered practical tools for estimating the ductility demands of asymmetric plan structures.

Investigation of overstrength in asymmetrıc-plan structures as an optımum design strategy Kaatsız, Kaan; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2017-10-13) Uneven distribution of seismic demand in asymmetric-plan structures is a widely investigated issue in the field ofearthquake engineering. Contemporary seismic design strategies, which are based on linear elastic behaviour of thestructure and employ uniform design parameters (single load reduction factor, etc.) throughout an asymmetric system,generally show poor performance in terms of realized ductilities and non-uniform damage distribution due to strongtorsional coupling associated with asymmetric-plan sys...
Assessment of nonlinear static (pushover) analysis procedures using field experience Dilsiz, Abdullah; Gülkan, Polat; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Recently, many nonlinear analysis procedures have been proposed for earthquake response determination of the structures. Although, the nonlinear response history analysis (NRHA) is accepted as the most accurate source of information for nonlinear seismic response, nonlinear static procedures (NSP) may also provide reasonable estimates of seismic demand and inelastic behavior. However, all proposed NSPs have limitations, due to the certain approximations and simplifications, such as invariable load pattern a...
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,...
Experimental evaluation of geomembrane / geotextile interface as base isolating system Taheri Bonab, Amin; Gülerce, Zeynep; Kalpakcı, Volkan; Department of Civil Engineering (2016) The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the composite liner seismic isolation system on the seismic response of small-to-moderate height structures. For this purpose, a building model with the natural frequency of 3.13 Hz (representing 3-4 story structures) was tested with and without the addition of composite liner system using the shaking table test set-up by employing harmonic and modified/ scaled ground motions. Experiment results showed that the composite liner seismic isolation system...
COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF FIXED BASE AND ROCKING BUILDING FRAMES EQUIPPED WITH AN ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEM Özen, Hazal; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2023-3-06) In this study, the effect of columns with a rocking-base isolation system on enhancing the seismic performance of a reinforced concrete building is investigated. A compara- tive study comprising of comparisons of fixed-based and rocking-based systems with post-tensioning strands and free column ends is conducted. For analysis purposes, a reinforced-concrete building with shear walls was designed, modeled, and analyzed in ETABS software. Nonlinear boundary time history analysis (NTHA) was conducted by exposi...
