A vertical wall with an overhanging horizontal cantilever slab was tested in a small-scale test setup (with a scale of 1:20) under wave impact (impulsive) loads. A single breaking wave creates two distinct sequential impacts on the vertical and horizontal parts of the cantilever. The breaking wave jet hits on the vertical wall then rises with an uprush jet velocity and creates the second impact on the horizontal cantilever. This upward water momentum depends on the uprush jet velocity. In this study, data from pressure sensors was used to analyze the average uprush jet velocity (u(v_av)) under regular breaking waves. A formula to predict the average uprush jet velocity on a vertical structure is proposed. Wave height at the toe of the foreshore (H-1), water depth at the structure toe (h(s)), and wave period (T) were found to be the main parameters governing the average uprush jet velocity. In addition, the influence of geometric properties such as clearance between still water level and horizontal part of the cantilever (c') were analyzed. The proposed formula is applicable within the range 0.45 <= H-1/h(s)<= 1. 2, 2. 0 s <= T <= 2. 8 s and 0. 75 m <= h(s)<= 1. 65 m.

Seismic behavior of vertical reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) panel walls
Taghipour, Armin; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
In this study, the in-plane seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) vertical load-bearing wall panels is examined. Because of the complex behavior of AAC shear walls under cyclic lateral loading and axial load, the design provisions are fundamentally important. The main objective of this study is to validate proposed design provisions for AAC structures in Turkey. Six specimens with different properties and geometries were constructed and tested at Structural Mechanics Laboratory of METU. Mech...
Earthquake stresses and effective damping in concrete gravity dams
Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın (2014-03-01)
Dynamic analyses for a suite of ground of motions were conducted on concrete gravity dam sections to examine the earthquake induced stresses and effective damping. For this purpose, frequency domain methods that rigorously incorporate dam-reservoir-foundation interaction and time domain methods with approximate hydrodynamic foundation interaction effects were employed. The maximum principal tensile stresses and their distribution at the dam base, which are important parameters for concrete dam design, were ...
COLLAPSE FRAGILITY ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE TALL BUILDINGS
Budak, Erhan; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-9-02)
Seismic performance of a 253 m tall reinforced concrete core wall building in Istanbul, designed according to performance-based seismic design principles, was assessed to determine the response parameters that control the serviceability, safety and collapse performance limit states. An ambient vibration test of the building was performed to identify its dynamic properties, including the damping properties for service loads. A three- dimensional linear elastic finite element structural model of the building ...
Pseudo-dynamic testing of a concrete gravity dam
Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış; Arıcı, Yalın; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem (2015-09-01)
Inspired from the simplified single degree of freedom modeling approach used in the preliminary design of concrete gravity dams, a pseudo-dynamic testing method was devised for the seismic testing of a concrete gravity dam section. The test specimen was a 1/75 scaled section of the 120-m-high monolith of the Melen Dam, one of the highest concrete gravity dams to be built in Turkey. The single degree of freedom idealization of the dam section was validated in the first stage of the study using numerical simu...
Ground Motion Characterization for Vertical Ground Motions in Turkey—Part 1: V/H Ratio Ground Motion Models
Alipour, N.A.; SANDIKKAYA, MUSTAFA ABDULLAH; Gülerce, Zeynep (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01)
Two approaches are used to develop the vertical design spectra in probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA): (i) performing PSHA for the vertical component using vertical ground motion models (GMMs), and (ii) utilizing the V/H ratio GMMs to scale the horizontal spectrum during or after the hazard calculations for the horizontal component. This study intends to develop a new framework for building a vertical ground motion logic tree that combines both vertical and V/H ratio GMMs in the PSHA analysis. Fo...
