Effects of seismic zones and local soil conditions on response of RC buildings

The effect of seismic zones and local soil conditions given in Turkish Seismic Code on the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete buildings, evaluated using the distributed plastic hinge approach, is investigated in this paper. A RC frame building was selected for numerical analysis, and the nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were performed. For the purposes of analyses, selected earthquake records were adjusted to become compatible with the design response spectrum, taking into account seismic zones and local soil conditions. Interstorey drifts, cross-sectional forces at the base of the building, and energy dissipation for selected hinges, were compared in the paper.

Binalardaki Burulma Düzensizliğinin Farklı Zemin Sınıflarına Göre Değerlendirilmesi

In this study, creating effects of different local site classes are investigated on total torsional moment in torsional irregularity structure. For this purpose, shear wall-frame multi-storey structure is designed according to torsional irregularity indicated Turkish Earthquake Code and analyzed. For solves linear time history analysis indicated Turkish Earthquake Code is used. Therefore, Marmara Earthquake occurred in 1999 and Northridge Earthquake occurred in 1994 is scaled according to four local site class in earthquake code and applied to the structure. Changing of total torsional moments obtained results of analysis according to local site class are determined. SAP2000 structure analysis program is used in analyses.
