Seismic performance improvement of single-storey precast reinforced concrete industrial buildings in use
Özet
Single-storey precast reinforced concrete (RC) frame type buildings are mainly preferred in manufacturing plants and storehouses. The behaviour of semi-rigid beam-column connections of the buildings is one of the main sources of uncertainty. The common damages observed after credible earthquakes were falling off large-span beams and large plastic deformations at the column base. New generation Lead Extrusion Damper (LED) developed by the authors is utilized in the seismic retrofitting of these buildings in use. This paper discusses the seismic performances of pre- and post-behaviour of the retrofitted buildings and evaluates the efficiency of the applied retrofitting technique. It is exposed that seismic demands are diminished essentially. The relative storey drifts decrease by about 40-90% while the reduction in the strain at the column base section reaches to 70%. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

Cyclic Behavior of Electroslag Welded Joints in Beam-to-Built-Up Box Column Steel Moment Connections
Özkula, Gülen; Garai, Rupa; Lee, Peter; Uang, Chia Ming (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2019)Steel special moment frames (SMFs) with built-up box columns are often used in taller buildings when two orthogonal axes of participating moment frames intersect. Interior diaphragm (or continuity) plates are usually ... -
