    Seismic Testing and Modeling of Full-Scale Substandard Rc Columns Retrofitted With Sprayed Gfrm With and Without Basalt Mesh Under High Axial Compression and Shear Demand
    (Asce-Amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2025) Kian, Nima; Demir, Ugur; Ates, Ali Osman; Celik, Oguz C.; Ilki, Alper
    This study presents the experimental and analytical hysteretic behaviors of eight full-scale RC square and rectangular columns. The columns were designed to have different shear spans that represent: (1) a column that complies with the Turkish Government Ministry of Reconstruction and Resettlement's ( 1975) seismic design code, Turkish Seismic Design Code (TSDC); (2) a substandard column; and (3) two sprayed glass fiber-reinforced mortar (GFRM)-retrofitted counterparts of the substandard column with and without basalt mesh. The substandard columns were designed to be subjected to relatively high shear ratios (i.e., the ratio of the shear force that corresponds to the moment capacity to shear strength of the cross section) up to 0.85 and with a high axial load-to-capacity ratio of 0.75. All columns were tested under constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral displacement excursions. The results revealed that the columns that complied with the TSDC showed satisfactory behavior for seismic performance, and the performance of the substandard columns was extremely poor. However, the hysteretic performance of the substandard columns that were subjected to high axial stress and shear significantly improved after the proposed retrofitting. Finally, a numerical model was developed in OpenSees to reproduce the hysteresis curves of the specimens. The slip of the longitudinal bars at the column-foundation interface, strain penetration into the foundation, and buckling of the longitudinal bars in compression were accounted for in the modeling. The results are in good agreement with the experimental hysteresis curves. The performance levels of the columns are further specified, and the predictions of the current seismic codes were analyzed: (1) the European Committee for Standardization's 2005 code, Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance; Parts 1-3: Strengthening and repair of buildings (EC8-3); and (2) the Turkish Government Ministry of Interior Disaster and Emergency Management Authority's 2018 code, Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBEC). The TBEC provided more accurate estimates of plastic rotation capacities for substandard specimens. In contrast, EC8-3 overestimated the plastic rotation capacity when shear stresses were relatively high due to lower shear span-to-depth ratios (a/d).

    Impact of High Axial Stress on Seismic Behavior of Substandard Reinforced Concrete Columns
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2025) Gundogan, Safiye; Demir, Ugur; Turan, O. Tugrul; Ilki, Alper
    The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, particularly those constructed without adequate seismic detailing, remains a critical concern in earthquake-prone regions worldwide. Many of these buildings, often referred to as substandard RC structures, were built before modern seismic codes were established and are characterized by poor material quality and inadequate construction practices. The Southern T & uuml;rkiye earthquakes on 6 February 2023 underscored the urgent need to better understand the seismic behavior of these substandard structures, which frequently fail to meet modern design standards and are prone to damage or collapse. Substandard RC columns, characterized by low concrete strength and inadequate transverse reinforcement, are susceptible to severe seismic damage, increasing the risk of collapse and life loss. While numerous studies have experimentally examined the seismic behavior of RC columns under low to moderate axial load to capacity ratios (typically below 0.30), these conditions do not accurately reflect the reality of many existing substandard columns that are frequently subjected to higher axial compression stresses. This study addresses this critical gap by presenting the first experimental data on the seismic behavior of full-scale, substandard RC columns under high axial load ratios (0.30-0.80). The analysis focused on lateral load-displacement relationships, ductility, plastic hinge length, stiffness, energy dissipation capacity, and residual displacements. Increases in axial load led to more brittle failure modes, reduced displacement ductility and an extended plastic hinging zone. High axial loads also caused accelerated stiffness degradation, reduced cumulative energy dissipation, and progressive residual deformations. Analytical models overestimated deformation capacity, making them unreliable for substandard RC columns under high axial stress. Additionally, predictions using plastic hinge length formulas underestimated the values at high axial loads. The study also evaluated the performance of widely used concrete confinement models in predicting the moment-curvature responses and corresponding ductility for substandard RC columns with low compressive strength and subjected to high axial stress. These findings underscore the critical need for refined modelling approaches and assessment methodologies to improve the seismic evaluation of substandard existing buildings.

    Breakthrough Curve Analysis of Phosphorylated Hazelnut Shell Waste in Column Operation for Continuous Harvesting of Lithium From Water
    (Elsevier, 2024) Recepoğlu, Yaşar Kemal; Arar, Ozguer; Yuksel, Asli
    In batch-scale operations, biosorption employing phosphorylated hazelnut shell waste (FHS) revealed excellent lithium removal and recovery efficiency. Scaling up and implementing packed bed column systems necessitates further design and performance optimization. Lithium biosorption via FHS was investigated utilizing a continuous-flow packed-bed column operated under various flow rates and bed heights to remove Li to ultra-low levels and recover it. The Li biosorption capacity of the FHS column was unaffected by the bed height, however, when the flow rate was increased, the capacity of the FHS column decreased. The breakthrough time, exhaustion time, and uptake capacity of the column bed increased with increasing column bed height, whereas they decreased with increasing influent flow rate. At flow rates of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mL/min, bed volumes (BVs, mL solution/mL biosorbent) at the breakthrough point were found to be 477, 369, and 347, respectively, with the required BVs for total saturation point of 941, 911, and 829, while the total capacity was calculated as 22.29, 20.07, and 17.69 mg Li/g sorbent. In the 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm height columns filled with FHS, the breakthrough times were 282, 366, and 433 min, respectively, whereas the periods required for saturation were 781, 897, and 1033 min. The three conventional breakthrough models of the Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Modified Dose-Response (MDR) were used to properly estimate the whole breakthrough behavior of the FHS column and the characteristic model parameters. Li's extremely favorable separation utilizing FHS was evidenced by the steep S-shape of the breakthrough curves for both parameters flow rate and bed height. The reusability of FHS was demonstrated by operating the packed bed column in multi-cycle mode, with no appreciable loss in column performance.

    The Effect of Lap-Splice Configuration on Seismic Performance of Substandard Rc Columns
    (fib. The International Federation for Structural Concrete, 2022) Baltacı, Alihan; Gündoğan, Safiye; Demir, Uğur; İlki, Alper
    A considerable amount of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in developing countries possess vital deficiencies such as incorporating poor quality of concrete and insufficient transverse reinforcement, and use of plain reinforcing bars without proper detailing, such as inadequate configurations of lap-splices at critical plastic hinging zones. While these can affect the strength and ductility of structural members adversely under seismic actions, research on such substandard structural members is scarce. As such, further information is valuable for the assessment of the seismic safety of such substandard columns constructed with inadequate lap-splice configurations of plain round bars. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of different lap-splice configurations of plain bars on the seismic performance of substandard RC columns and contribute to the development of assessment codes for such existing substandard buildings. Towards this aim, three full-scale columns were constructed to represent typical characteristics of substandard RC columns. The columns were subjected to constant axial loading (with an axial load to capacity ratio of 0.3) and reversed cyclic displacement reversals simultaneously representing gravity loads and seismic actions, respectively. The test program included i) one reference column with continuous longitudinal bars (no lap-spliced connection), ii) one lap-spliced column with an overlap length of 20 times the longitudinal bar diameter without any hook and iii) one lap-spliced column with an overlap length of 20 times the longitudinal bar diameter with a 180-degree hook. Test results demonstrated that columns with lap-splices did not reach their flexural strength and experienced more remarkable strength degradation with respect to the column reinforced with continuous longitudinal bars. On the other hand, presence of a 180-degree hook at the ends of spliced bars reduced the negative influence of inadequate lap-splice length in terms of strength and ductility.

    Seismic Performance of Cfrp Jacketed Sub-Standard Rc Columns Under High Axial Stress and Shear Demand
    (Springer, 2022) Demir, Merve Nur; Demir, Uğur; Demir, Cem; İlki, Alper
    In the last decades, lessons learnt from the major earthquakes, that occurred in many countries, brought revisions in prevailing seismic design codes. As a consequence of this phenomenon, the current building stock in Turkey is mainly comprised of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings which were designed according to different seismic design codes. The presented paper is a component of a comprehensive investigation which containing three variables i) high axial load ratio defined as axial load divided by the axial capacity, ii) high shear demand defined as the ratio of shear demand at flexural yielding to shear resistance and iii) low transverse reinforcement ratio owing to large spacing among steel reinforcements. Thus, a total of four full-scale square RC columns comprised of i) one column designed to comply with the former Turkish Seismic Design Code (TSDC, 1975) and ii) three columns which are not compliant to any design codes (referred as sub-standard), were tested under high axial load ratio, 0.4 for code-conforming and 0.75 for sub-standard columns, combined with reversed cyclic lateral loading. The columns were also designed to have high shear demand in the order of 0.62 and 0.80 for bare sub-standard according to ACI 318 (2019) and TBEC (2018) design codes as sometimes observed in existing sub-standard structures. In addition to that, the ratio of shear demand for the code-conforming column is calculated 0.43 and 0.50 as per design codes, respectively. Besides, the ratio of transverse reinforcement area to the minimum required transverse reinforcement area was 0.19 and 0.77 for sub-standard columns according to ACI 318 (2019) and TBEC (2018), respectively. For the code-conforming column, the aforementioned ratio was 0.57 and 1.32 for both design codes, in the same manner. One of the sub-standard columns was kept as a reference column while the other two of them have been externally jacketed with one layer or two layers of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. Test results pointed out that the confinement provided by CFRP jacketing has remarkably improved the performance of seismically-deficient RC columns subjected to high axial compression under high shear demand in terms of lateral load capacity and ductility. The experimental results were also supplemented with theoretical work to evaluate the effects of CFRP jacketing on the seismic behavior of sub-standard RC columns.
