Book Part Lessons From the 2023 Southeast Türkiye Earthquakes: A Study on Damaged RC Buildings Considering the Hassan Index(International Association for Earthquake Engineering, 2024) Dönmez, C.; Dowgala, J.; Eryimaz-Yildirim, M.; Güllü, M.F.; Iturburu, L.; Koroglu, F.B.; Speicher, M.S.A survey was conducted across 10 cities in Southeast Türkiye to classify damage in 242 reinforced concrete (RC) buildings constructed in the last 15 years, ranging from 2 to 16 stories. The ‘robustness’ of these buildings was quantified using ratios of cross-sectional areas of vertical elements (walls and columns) to floor-plan areas. The results are compared with similar measures obtained for buildings in Erzincan and Duzce (Türkiye) and buildings in Chile and Japan as well. These comparisons suggest that excessive drift was one of the primary causes of the widespread damage in RC buildings across the cities surveyed, from Antakya to Malatya. Drift a) exposed a myriad of defects in structural layouts and reinforcing detailing, b) caused nearly destruction of partitions and other non-structural building components (leading to disruptions of functionality even in the absence of structural damage), and c) induced instability even in structures with better detailing. In contrast, stiff (albeit uncommon) structures with abundant and well-distributed structural walls had lower drifts and performed well. Except for sporadic failures in details placed at critical locations, those structures are still in use and should serve as models for reconstruction. © 2024, International Association for Earthquake Engineering.

These earthquakes caused devastating effects in a total of 11 nearby cities on the east side of T & uuml;rkiye (Adana, Adiyaman, Diyarbakir, Elazig, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaras,, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, and S,anliurfa) and the north side of Syria. These earthquakes provided an outstanding prospect to observe the effects of liquefaction in silty sand and liquefaction-like behavior in clays (cyclic softening) on the stability of structures. This paper specifically presents the post-earthquake reconnaissance at three sites and evaluations of four buildings within these sites in Adiyaman Province, Golbas, i District. First, important role of post-earthquake piezocone penetration test (CPTu) in characterizing the subsurface conditions was presented. Then, the effect of soil liquefaction and cyclic softening on the performance of four buildings during the earthquakes was evaluated. These structures represent the typical new reinforced concrete buildings in T & uuml;rkiye with 3 to 6-story, situated on shallow (raft) foundations, and demonstrated diverse structural performances from full resilience to moderate and extensive damage during the aforementioned earthquakes. Based on the interim findings from these sites, the potential factors that caused moderate to severe damage to buildings were inspected, and preliminary-immediate insights were presented on the relationship between structural design, soil properties, and the performance of buildings with shallow foundations.Master Thesis Strength Requirements of Shear Diaphragms Used To Brace Steel I-Beams(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Vardaroğlu, Mustafa; Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Eğilmez, Oğuz ÖzgürLateral torsional buckling, also known as flexural torsional buckling is a failure mode that often controls the design of I-shaped steel beams during construction. In order to increase the lateral torsional buckling capacity of the girders in this stage, discrete or continuous bracing systems are often utilized in building and bridge constructions. Light gauge metal decking acts like a shear diaphragm and provides continuous lateral bracing to the beams. The building industry has long relied on metal decking to laterally support the beam top flanges. Bridge construction industry does not consider metal decking as a brace source due to the flexible connection between the girder and the diaphragm. However, recent studies have shown that metal sheeting can also be used in the bridge industry as construction bracing as long as the flexibility of the connections can be controlled by modifications. An adequate bracing system must possess sufficient strength and stiffness to control deformations and brace forces. A parametrical study was conducted to investigate the stiffness and strength of shear diaphragms used to brace stocky and slender steel I-beams. This thesis focuses on the strength requirements. The parametrical study consists of eigenvalue buckling analyses and large displacement analyses on a twin girder shear diaphragm system with various girder and metal deck configurations. A three-dimensional finite element analysis program was selected for the analyses. In the model metal deck-girder connections and the connection between adjacent decks are modeled respectively. Finite element model is verified by a full-scale twin-girder buckling test as the part of a previous study. According to the numerical study an equation is proposed for the estimation of the brace forces in the deck connections. The equation is shifted for possible deck and girder configurations.Doctoral Thesis Manipulation of Structural Design Parameters To Mitigate the Concentrarion of Interstory Drift Ratios(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Sönmez, Egemen; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Dönmez, CemalettinAlthough the interstory drift ratio is used as a limiting factor for specific performance levels by the structural engineering profession, its distribution among the stories is generally disregarded. Observations and analytical studies have shown that even the structures are designed to conform seismic design codes, interstory drifts tend to concentrate at certain regions of the frame structures. In other words, the seismic demand the earthquake imposes is attempted to be provided from a limited part of the structure. As a result, the damage concentrates, and the stiffness of the corresponding stories decreases significantly. Locally, the story drifts become larger. Soft-story mechanisms and abrupt failures may occur under such conditions. In this study, a seismic design method was developed to control the distribution of interstory drifts in a frame structure during the nonlinear seismic response. This method is based on two observations: (i) in the inelastic range, the drift distribution is highly dependent on the yield strengths of the members; (ii) there is a strong correlation between the interstory drift distribution and the plastic rotation distribution at member-ends. Thus, an iterative design procedure is developed to control the distribution of the interstory drifts by adjusting the member yield strengths. Plastic rotations are used as a tool for estimating the required yield strengths. The efficiency of the proposed method was tested using nonlinear time-history analyses. The results demonstrated that the frames designed using the proposed method had well-distributed interstory drift and story damage patterns compared to those of the conventionally designed frames. Furthermore, the overall damage of frames was reduced remarkably.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Discussion on the Causes of the Observed Damages in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Gultepe, Ekin; Comlekoglu, Hakki Gurhan; Ozturk, Baki; Donmez, CemalettinThe devastating earthquakes in February 2023 in south-east Turkiye demonstrated that the Turkish built environment does not meet the needed performance. The frequency of earthquakes in Turkiye calls for urgent organization to upgrade the existing structures and avoid the repetition of deficient applications. Hence, it is necessary to identify the causes of the damage. The presented study concentrated on a subset of the existing inventory built under the governance of 1998 and later Turkish Earthquake Codes. Following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, Turkiye, a reconnaissance study was conducted to understand the causes of the damage incurred. The extensive study covered all the major city and town centers, specifically concentrating on the 2- to 16-story reinforced concrete buildings. The first impression of the data gathered indicates significant detailing imperfections. Poor drift control, inferior layout preferences, and non-structural detailing issues are the other suspects. The observed damage and the current seismic regulation requirements will be critically discussed to form a basis for possible future improvements to the seismic code.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 5A Study on Mitigation of Interstory Drift Concentrations in Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Earthquake Demands(Patron Editore S R L, 2020) Sönmez, Egemen; Dönmez, CemalettinSite observations and analytical studies show that low-rise RC frames have larger interstory drift ratios at the lower stories under earthquake loading. It is obvious that due to the localization of drifts, these structures could reach their capacity limits earlier than a system with a well-distributed drift among its stories. This phenomenon is especially vital for frames with limited drift capacity and could cause them to fail below the specified design demands. The existing stock of seismically deficient RC frames in Turkey, and for that matter all over the world, are in this group. The presented study investigates the effects of a pre-organized stiffness distribution along the building height to mitigate the interstory drift concentrations. As a case study, the readily available infill walls were used for stiffness-modifying elements to obtain the organized stiffness distribution. Initially, the numerical model was calibrated and verified using the experimental results. Afterward, three planar frames were studied. These were a bare frame and two frames with infill walls. Nonlinear dynamic time-history and pushover analyses were performed to evaluate the seismic performance of the frames. The results indicate that the organized stiffness distribution could mitigate the interstory drift concentrations and provide a better distribution of interstory drift ratios along the height of the frames.Book Part A Novel Approach for Addressing Interstory Drift Concentrations in Eccentrically Braced Frames(International Association for Earthquake Engineering, 2024) Comlekoglu, H.G.; Dönmez, C.Drift concentrations under seismic demands are accepted to be a natural phenomenon by the profession. In typical steel eccentrically braced frame (EBF) design, drift concentrations cause systems to reach their material limits at lower roof drift ratios and plastic link beam rotations to exceed permissible limits. As an attempt to demonstrate that concentrations are not natural, but rather the result of the design decisions, an algorithm to modify the drift distribution in EBFs has been developed. The developed method uses an iterative post-processing algorithm to manipulate the post-elastic modal vectors of the EBFs for distributing the interstory drift ratios uniformly and mitigating the possible drift concentrations. The algorithm proved to be effective in both design-basis earthquake (DBE) and maximum considered earthquake (MCE) demands. The initial verifications have been done through sensitivity analyses of various types of EBFs by nonlinear time-history analyses. The parameters considered are the number of stories (representing low-and mid-rise EBFs), the link length to bay width ratios (e/L), and the first story height to typical story height ratios. Results obtained demonstrated that the story shear distribution of the revised frames, which exhibited well-distributed interstory drifts, had consistent shapes markedly different from the distributions of equivalent lateral force procedures. Furthermore, base shear capacity is observed to be an important metric to be considered during the design stages. The algorithm is demonstrated by a benchmark building selected from the literature. The seismic performance of the building is enhanced through the utilization of the developed algorithm, and the outcomes are evaluated with respect to the designated metrics. The initial and ongoing observations based on the sensitivity analyses indicate the potential contributions of the developed algorithm to the efficient design of EBFs. © 2024, International Association for Earthquake Engineering.

The model is tested using data from two types of experiments with reinforced concrete elements: (1) elements subjected to varying pseudo-static biaxial lateral loads and (2) elements that responded biaxially to simulated earthquake motions. The goal for the model was not only to help determine the absolute maxima for earthquake response but also to enable calculation of the entire waveform, including the ranges of low- and moderate-amplitude response. The comparisons of measured and calculated results and sensitivity of the proposed model to variations in the input parameters are discussed. The output was found to be insensitive to the changes in input parameters related to concrete and sensitive to input parameters related to reinforcing steel. The results of the calculations were tested using experimental data.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Seismic Performance of Wide-Beam Infill-Joist Block Rc Frames in Turkey(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015) Dönmez, CemalettinObservations after the 2011 Van-Erciş earthquake show that some of the recently constructed reinforced-concrete buildings were either heavily damaged or had collapsed. As a building subtype, wide-beam, infill-joist block reinforced-concrete frames got attention because of their mode of failure. There were several such buildings that failed in strong-column, weak-beam mode. Considering the demand created by the earthquake, structures were not expected to reach their full capacity. The purpose of this study is to review the history and current practice of infill-joist frames in Turkey and to conduct a performance evaluation of infill-joist frames designed per the current earthquake code (2007). Regulations for this building subtype are critically reviewed, and the designer's response to code regulations is discussed. Results indicate that the force-based design approach used in the current code is not always adequate to satisfy the displacement demands. In addition, it is observed that layout, proportioning, and detailing requirements of beam-end regions and beam-column connections do not always warrant ductile behavior as targeted.Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 60Performance of Structures in İzmir After the Samos Island Earthquake(Springer, 2022) Yakut, A.; Sucuoǧlu, H.; Binici, B.; Canbay, E.; Dönmez, C.; Ilki, A.; Ay, B.Ö.The October 30, 2020 Earthquake caused unexpectedly significant damage in İzmir considering its distance to the city. This paper evaluates the recorded ground motions, summarizes the performance of structures affected from the earthquake with emphasis on the reasons of damage. A detailed damage assessment was carried out by the Earthquake Engineering Research Center of Middle East Technical University to compile data on the damage of RC and masonry buildings. It was observed that majority of the damage was concentrated in the Bayraklı district due to its peculiar soil properties where many 7–10 story mid-rise RC buildings suffered heavy damage and collapse. The level of amplified ground motions combined with deficiencies of apparently non-code compliant buildings exacerbated the damage. The main reasons of damage were mainly attributed to the presence of soft stories, lack of proper detailing, poor construction quality, presence of heavy overhangs, and hence significant lack of code-compliance in essence. The influence of infill walls on seismic performance of deficient and inadequate buildings was clearly seen in this earthquake. This paper also discusses seismic code requirements in effect and their influence on the observed building performance. The recorded ground motions were compared with the code spectra to evaluate the performance of the buildings. The code response spectra were found to be well above the recorded ground motion spectra at the sites where significant damage was observed. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.
