    Çelik Köprü I-kirişlerine Yanal Destek Sağlayan Trapez Sac Kalıpların Mukavemeti
    (Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, 2009) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Alkan, Deniz
    Trapez Sac Kalıplar (TSK) hem çelik bina hem de çelik köprü sektörlerinde beton döşemenin kalıp sistemi olarak sıklıkla kullanılmaktadırlar. TSK’ler her ne kadar bina inşaatlarında çelik I-kirişlere yanal destek sağlayıcı elemanlar olarak işlev görseler de, çelik köprü sektöründe trapez sac kalıplardan destek elemanları olarak yararlanılmasına izin verilmez. Ancak, önceki çalışmalar birleşim detayının geliştirilmesi durumunda TSK sisteminin kirişin yanal kararlılığına belirgin şekilde destek sağlayabildiğini göstermiştir. Bu makale halen devam etmekte olan ve TSK’lerin mukavemetinin incelendiği analitik bir çalışmanın ara sonuçlarını içermektedir. Geçmişte, TSK sistemleriyle desteklenen köprü kirişlerin genel burkulma davranışını irdeleyen basit sonlu elemanlar modelleri (SEM) kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada TSK’leri hem birbirlerine hem de kirişlere bağlayan vidalardaki kararlılık destek kuvvetlerini belilemek için kullanılan geliştirilmiş bir sonlu elemanlar modelinin sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Bu çözümleme sonuçları TSK’lerin içermesi gereken mukavemet ihtiyacını belirleyecek olan bir tasarım yönteminin geliştirilmesinde kullanılacaktır.

    Strength Requirements of Permanent Metal Deck Forms Used for Lateral Bracing of Steel Bridge Girders
    (2006) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Helwig, T.A.; Herman, R.S.
    Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) are often used in steel bridges to support the weight of the wet concrete during deck construction. Although the PMDF also has the potential to provide bracing to steel bridge girders during construction, the stiffness of the PMDF system as a lateral brace is drastically reduced by the eccentric support angle connection detail used to attach the forms to the girders. Laboratory tests have shown that a simple modification to the connection detail can substantially increase the stiffness of these PMDF systems and allow utilization of the PMDF for girder bracing. This paper presents results from a parametrical study conducted to determine stability and strength requirements for PMDF used to provide lateral bracing to steel bridge girders. Detailed FEA models were used to determine the stability bracing strength requirements for the fasteners that are used to connect the PMDF along the sidelaps of the sheets and to the girders. Design expressions are presented as well as an example demonstrating the use of the design equations.

    Improving the Ductility of Steel I-Beams Through the Use of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers
    (Curran Associates, 2010) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Alkan, Deniz; Özdemir, Timur
    Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. Reducing the flange-web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) of beams is the most effective way in mitigating local buckling as stipulated in the latest seismic design specifications. However, existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack the adequate slenderness ratios set forth for new buildings are vulnerable to local member buckling and thereby system-wise instability prior to reaching the required plastic rotation capacities specified for new buildings. This paper presents results from a research study investigating the cyclic behavior of steel I-beams modified by a welded haunch at the bottom flange and reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers at the plastic hinge region. Cantilever I-sections with a triangular haunch at the bottom flange and FSR higher then those stipulated in current design specifications were analyzed under reversed cyclic loading. Beam sections with different depth/width and flange/web slenderness ratios (FSR/WSR) were considered. The FEA results revealed that the GFRP reinforcement moderately improves the plastic local behavior of steel I-beams.

    Dynamic Behavior Predictions of Fiber-Metal Laminate/Aluminum Foam Sandwiches Under Various Explosive Weights
    (SAGE Publications, 2016) Baştürk, Suat Bahar; Tanoğlu, Metin; Çankaya, Mehmet Alper; Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür
    Application of blast tests causes some problems to characterize the performance of panels due to the drastic conditions of explosive medium. Real test has high safety concerns and is not easily accessible because of its extra budget. Some approaches are needed for the preliminary predictions of dynamic characteristics of panels under blast loading conditions. In this study, the response of sandwiches under blast effect was evaluated by combining quasi-static experiments and computational blast test data. The primary aim is to relate the quasi-static panel analysis to dynamic blast load. Based on this idea, lightweight sandwich composites were subjected to quasi-static compression loading with a special test apparatus and the samples were assumed as single degree-of-freedom mass-spring systems to include dynamic effect. This approach provides a simpler way to simulate the blast loading over the surface of the panels and reveals the possible failure mechanisms without applying any explosives. Therefore the design of the panels can be revised by considering quasi-static test results. In this work, the peak deflections and survivabilities of sandwiches for various explosive weights were predicted based on the formulations reported in the literature. Major failure types were also identified and evaluated with respect to their thicknesses.

    Developing Polymer Composite-Based Leaf Spring Systems for Automotive Industry
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018) Öztoprak, Nahit; Güneş, Mehmet Deniz; Tanoğlu, Metin; Aktaş, Engin; Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Şenocak, Çiler; Kulaç, Gediz
    Composite-based mono-leaf spring systems were designed and manufactured to replace existing mono-leaf metal leaf spring in a light commercial vehicle. In this study, experimentally obtained mechanical properties of different fiber-reinforced polymer materials are presented first, followed by the description of the finite element analytical model created in Abaqus 6.12-1 (Dassault Systemes Simulia Corp., RI, US) using the obtained properties. The results from the finite element analysis are presented next and compared with actual size experimental tests conducted on manufactured prototypes. The results demonstrated that the reinforcement type and orientation dramatically influenced the spring rate. The prototypes showed significant weight reduction of about 80% with improved mechanical properties. The hybrid composite systems can be utilized for composite-based leaf springs with considerable mechanical performance.

    Narin Çelik Kirişlere Stabilite Desteği Sağlayan Kayma Diyaframlarının Rijitlik Gereklilikleri
    (Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, 2017) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Akbaba, Andaç; Vardaroğlu, Mustafa
    The buckling resistance of steel I-beams can be increased by providing lateral bracing along the length of the beams by either cross-frames or diaphragms. Metal sheeting that is often used in steel buildings and bridge constructions to support the fresh concrete, acts like a shear diaphragm and provides continuous bracing to steel beams. An adequate bracing system must possess sufficient stiffness and strength. A computational study was conducted to investigate stiffness requirements of shear diaphragms used to brace slender steel I-beams. Both double and single symmetrical axis sections were studied. Beams that are braced by cross-frames in addition to diaphragms have also been investigated. Stiffness requirements have been proposed for shear diaphragms used to brace slender steel I-beams. © 2017 Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers.All right reserved.

    Cyclic Behavior of Steel I-Beams Modified by a Welded Haunch and Reinforced With Gfrp
    (Techno Press, 2009) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Alkan, Deniz; Özdemir, Timur
    Flange and web local buckling in beam plastic hinge regions of steel moment frames can prevent beam-column connections from achieving adequate plastic rotations under earthquake-induced forces. Reducing the flange-web slendemess ratios (FSR/WSR) of beams is the most effective way in mitigating local member buckling as stipulated in the latest seismic design specifications. However, existing steel moment frame buildings with beams that lack the adequate slendemess ratios set forth for new buildings are vulnerable to local member buckling and thereby system-wise instability prior to reaching the required plastic rotation capacities specified for new buildings. This paper presents results from a research study investigating the cyclic behavior of steel I-beams modified by a welded haunch at the bottom flange and reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymers at the plastic hinge region. Cantilever I-sections with a triangular haunch at the bottom flange and flange slendemess ratios higher then those stipulated in current design specifications were analyzed under reversed cyclic loading. Beam sections with different depth/width and flange/web slendemess ratios (FSR/WSR) were considered. The effect of GFRP thickness, width, and length on stabilizing plastic local buckling was investigated. The FEA results revealed that the contribution of GFRP strips to mitigation of local buckling increases with increasing depth/width ratio and decreasing FSR and WSR. Provided that the interfacial shear strength of the steel/GFRP bond surface is at least 15 MPa, GFRP reinforcement can enable deep beams with FSR of 8-9 and WSR below - to maintain plastic rotations in the order of 0.02 radians without experiencing any local buckling.

    Strength Requirements for Shear Diaphragms Used for Stability Bracing of Steel Beams
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Vardaroğlu, Mustafa; Akbaba, Andaç
    Light-gauge metal sheeting is often used in steel building and bridge industries as concrete deck formwork. Besides providing support to the fresh concrete, the sheeting acts as a shear diaphragm and provides continuous lateral bracing to the top flanges of the beams to which they are attached. An adequate stability-bracing system must possess sufficient stiffness and strength to control deformations and brace forces. Strength requirements for shear diaphragms are currently not well established. A computational study was conducted to develop strength requirements for shear diaphragms bracing simply supported steel beams. Both end-fastener and sidelap-fastener connections were modeled in the study. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to quantify the stability-induced forces in sidelap fasteners. The effects of deck width and number of end and sidelap fasteners on brace forces were investigated. Expressions were developed to estimate the stability-induced brace forces in end-fastener and sidelap-fastener connections.

    Buckling Behavior of Steel Bridge I-Girders Braced by Permanent Metal Deck Forms
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2012) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Helwig, Todd A.; Herman, Reagan
    Permanent metal deck forms (PMDFs) are often used in the bridge industry to support wet concrete and other loads during construction. Although metal formwork in the building industry is routinely relied on for stability bracing, the forms are not permitted for bracing in the bridge industry, despite the large in-plane stiffness. The forms in bridge applications are typically supported on cold-formed angles, which allow the contractor to adjust the form elevation to account for changes in flange thickness and differential camber between adjacent girders. Although the support angles are beneficial toward the constructability of the bridge, they lead to eccentric connections that substantially reduce the in-plane stiffness of the PMDF systems, which is one of the reasons the forms are not relied on for bracing in bridge applications. This paper documents the results of an investigation focused on improving the bracing potential of bridge deck forms. Modifications to the connection details were developed to improve the stiffness and strength of the forming system. Research included buckling tests on a 15-m (50-ft) long, twin-girder system with PMDFs for bracing. In addition, twin-girder tests were also used to validate computer models of the bracing systems that were used for parametric finite-element analytical studies. The buckling test results demonstrated that modified connection details make PMDF systems a viable bracing alternative in steel bridges, which can significantly reduce the number of cross-frames or diaphragms required for stability bracing of steel bridge I-girders during construction.
