As a result of high usage volume, masonry structures that created the architectural section of history and culture constitute an important part of the current building stock despite the developing and diversified construction techniques nowadays. The protection of these structures, which are important both in terms of their cultural values and their transfer to future generations, is of great importance in the architectural point of view. For this purpose, a masonry structure from Foca is selected. The material properties and architectural plan of the structure are determined in accordance with the original one. The structure is modelled by using a software program under seismic effects. Displacement and stress values for each acceleration record are obtained. Besides, an evaluation is made in the direction of the analysis results and it is determined according to the seismic performance of the structure. After that, the structure is retrofitted according to the current design codes and without distorting the architectural perspective. This study aims to increase the structural strength of the case building by using conventional and modern techniques for the recovery of the structure.Article Citation - WoS: 1Lateral Torsional Buckling of Doubly Symmetric I-Shaped Steel Members Under Linear Moment Gradient(Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2019) Uzun, Ertuğrul Türker; Seçer, MutluDue to technical developments and wider range of applications in the steel structures, significance of the research on structural stability problems become forward. Lateral torsional buckling is a major problem especially for doubly symmetric I-shaped steel members subjected to flexure about their strong axis. If these members are not appropriately braced against lateral deflection and twisting, they are under the risk of failure by lateral torsional buckling prior to the reach their load carrying capacity. In this study, elastic lateral torsional buckling behavior of doubly symmetric I-shaped steel members under linear moment gradient is investigated considering a proposed method, several design standards and codes, approaches from the literature and finite element analysis. Proposed method herein is based on finite difference solution of lateral torsional buckling differential equation considering linear moment gradient. Different unbraced member lengths and various end moment values are considered in order to compare and evaluate these approaches in terms of critical moment and moment modification factor. Analysis results show that lateral torsional buckling is a key issue for doubly symmetric I-shaped steel members that are under flexure and it is reflected satisfactorily with the proposed method considering the design codes and standards, approaches from the literature and finite element analysis results.
