Article Constitutive Equation Determination and Dynamic Numerical Modelling of the Compression Deformation of Concrete(Wiley, 2021) Seven, Semih Berk; Çankaya, M. Alper; Uysal, Çetin; Taşdemirci, Alper; Saatci, Selçuk; Güden, MustafaThe dynamic compression deformation of an in-house cast concrete (average aggregate size of 2-2.5 mm) was modelled using the finite element (FE), element-free Galerkin (EFG) and smooth particle Galerkin (SPG) methods to determine their capabilities of capturing the dynamic deformation. The numerical results were validated with those of the experimental split Hopkinson pressure bar tests. Both EFG and FE methods overestimated the failure stress and strain values, while the SPG method underestimated the peak stress. SPG showed similar load capacity profile with the experiment. At initial stages of the loading, all methods present similar behaviour. Nonetheless, as the loading continues, the SPG method predicts closer agreement of deformation profile and force histories. The increase in strength at high strain rate was due to both the rate sensitivity and lateral inertia caused by the confinement effect. The inertia effect of the material especially is effective at lower strain values and the strain rate sensitivity of the concrete becomes significant at higher strain values.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5A Modified Fiber-Reinforced Plastics Concrete Interface Bond-Slip Law for Shear-Strengthened Rc Elements Under Cyclic Loading(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Selman, Efe; Alver, NinelThe objective of this article is to realistically analyze fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) retrofitted reinforced concrete structures under cyclic loading taking into account FRP–concrete bond-slip law with cyclic bond degradation. In literature, even though numerous studies have been conducted in FRP–concrete interface bond-slip modeling under cyclic loads, a small number of them consider the influence of cyclic degradation on FRP–concrete interface bond behavior. Within this framework, the bond-slip law for carbon fiber-reinforced plastics–concrete interface is revised by utilizing Harajli's and Ko-Sato's approaches. The procedure is distinct from others because it develops existing deficiencies of these approaches, whereas a more reliable modeling process is proposed for use in practice. Conventional bond-slip law of Lu et al. is compared with this interface relationship stated in this investigation and the difference is clearly shown in terms of structural parameters. Experimental tests are conducted at the same time for verification. It is proved that cyclic bond degradation affects the interface behavior; thus, the structural response cannot be omitted in structural evaluations. Structural performance measures are obtained in good agreement for each level of cycles. The technique proposed clearly exhibits structural response difference between monotonic and cyclic loadings while good agreement is reached with experimental results. POLYM.

Frames were subjected to pseudo-static cyclic loading. In addition, impact hammer measurements were made to obtain the natural frequencies and modal shapes at certain drift levels. It was observed that infill walls cause major changes on both the stiffness and the drift behavior of the frames. Effect of observed changes can be either advantageous or disadvantageous depending on failure mode. Results showed that the distribution of drift that is based on the mode shapes has higher local concentrations than the distribution observed under forced static conditions.
