The performance of RC frame members under earthquake loading may differ significantly from that of the frame. Even if the story drifts are not significant, a collapse mechanism may be observed because of extensive deformations in the beams, columns, or joints. Therefore, the seismic performance of each member should be investigated independently from that of the frame. In this experimental research, the seismic performance of one exterior and one interior beam-to-column connection region of a one-half-scale 3-story, three-bay RC frame is studied. The RC moment resisting frame building is designed following the code recommendations and earthquake excitations with different intensities applied sequentially to the frame by pseudodynamic testing method. At the end of the tests, under high seismic loads, the strength of members was exceeded, and a collapse mechanism formed. The joint shear distortions were significant for even the basic safety earthquake level, when soft soil conditions are present. In this experimental study, both the individual member responses and the performance of the frame are examined for earthquake loadings with different probabilities of exceedance. The interaction between the beam and joint responses, the effect of connection performance on the seismic behavior of the frame, and the influence of different soil conditions are also investigated.

Performance Examination of Two Seismic Strengthening Procedures by Pseudodynamic Testing Kurt, Efe Gokce; Kurç, Özgür; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012-01-01) Pseudodynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of two retrofit methods on two-story, three-bay frame structures. The test frames had hollow clay tile (HCT) infill in the central bay and incorporated the seismic deficiencies of Turkish construction practice, such as use of plain reinforcing bars, low-strength concrete, and insufficient confining steel. Two noninvasive and occupant-friendly retrofit schemes suggested in the Turkish Earthquake Code, namely, use of fiber-reinforced polyme...
Efficient energy dissipating steel-braced frame to resist seismic loads Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-07-01) In this research, the seismic performance of a proposed efficient energy dissipating steel-braced frame (EEDBF) in relation to that of a moment-resisting frame (MRF) and chevron braced frame (CBF) is studied. The frame is intended to combine the advantages of MRF and CBF and eliminate most of the disadvantages pertinent to these frames. Nonlinear static pushover, time history, and damage analyses of the three frames are conducted to assess the performance of the EEDBF compared to that of MRF and CBE The ana...
Analysis of the flexural strength of prestressed concrete flanged sections Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2005-01-01) Inconsistencies in the sectional response of prestressed concrete flanged sections predicted by the AASHTO LRFD and AASHTO Standard Specifications, including the maximum reinforcement limits, may arise due to different interpretations of the equivalent rectangular compressive stress block idealization. Strain compatibility analyses with nonlinear material properties were performed for a variety of non-rectangular prestressed concrete sections to identify the inconsistencies between the two specifications. R...
Seismic behavior and improvement of autoclaved aerated concrete infill walls Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Uzgan, Ugur; Eryurtlu, Zafer; Bulbul, Koray; Yakut, Ahmet (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-15) Performance of infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) frames is generally questionable under the combined action of in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands. Despite the vast number of tests investigating the behavior of brick masonry infill walls in RC frames, past research is limited for infill walls made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. In the first part of the study, six single-bay single-story half-scaled RC frames were tested under the action of in-plane cyclic displacement excursions a...
Frame Element for Metallic Shear-Yielding Members under Cyclic Loading Sarıtaş, Afşin (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01) Modeling the energy dissipation capacity of shear-yielding members is important in the evaluation of the seismic response of earthquake resistant structural systems. This paper presents the model of a frame element for the hysteretic behavior of these members. The model is based on a three-field variational formulation with independent displacement, stress, and strain fields. The displacement field is based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The nonlinear response of the element is derived from the section inte...
