Stochastic Seismic Analysis of a Cable-Stayed Bridge Using CFRP Cables
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have found increasingly wide applications in civil
engineering due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and high corrosion resistance for last two
decades. This paper presents a numerical study on the stochastic seismic analysis of a cablestayed
bridge subjected to earthquake ground motion using carbon fiber reinforced polymer
(CFRP) cables. Jindo Bridge is chosen and schemed using CFRP cables. The cross-sectional
areas of CFRP cables are determined by the principle of either equivalent cable stiffness or
equivalent cable strength. The analysis of the selected bridge is conducted and the results
obtained for CFRP cables are compared with steel counterpart. The results indicate that response
values obtained for CFRP cables correspond well with those of the steel cables
Asma Köprülerin Analiz Yöntemleri
Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2015Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2015Bu çalışmada, asma köprülerin deterministik ve stokastik dinamik analizleri; geometrik olarak lineer olmayan davranış dikkate alınarak incelenmektedir. Uygulama olarak Boğaziçi Asma Köprüsü seçilmiştir. Yer hareketi olarak 1971 San Fernando depremi Pacoima Barajı S16E bileşeni ile 1992 Erzincan depremi doğu-batı bileşeni ivme kayıtları kullanılmaktadır. Stokastik analizlerde yer hareketini temsil etmek üzere Clough ve Penzien tarafından düzeltilerek elde edilen filtre edilmiş beyaz gürültü modeli dikkate alınmaktadır. Yer hareketi modeli, mesnetlere etkiyen yer hareketlerinin yansıma ve kırılmalarla değişebilir olmasından kaynaklanan korelasyon etkisini, dalga yayılma etkisini ve zemin özelliklerinin yer hareketine etkisini içermektedir. Analizler sonucunda köprü kuleleri ve tabliyesine ait yerdeğiştirme ve kesit tesirleri elde edilmiştir. Yer tabakasının karmaşık yapısından dolayı, yer hareketlerinin farklı noktalardaki değişiminden doğan etkilerin asma köprüler gibi uzun açıklıklı sistemlerin deterministik ve stokastik analizlerinde dikkate alınması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.In this study, deterministic and stochastic dynamic responses of suspension bridges are investigated by considering geometrically nonlinear behavior. Bosporus Suspension Bridge is chosen as an example. S16E component of Pacoima Dam record of 1971 San Fernando earthquake and east-west component of 1992 Erzincan earthquake are used as ground motions. Filtered white noise model modified by Clough and Penzien is considered as a ground motion in the stochastic analyses. The ground motion model includes the effects of incoherence, wave passage, and site response. The bridge towers and deck displacement and internal forces are obtained in the end of the analyses. Because of the complex nature of earth crust, it is emphasized that the multiple support seismic excitations should be taken into account in the deterministic and stochastic analyses of long span structures like suspension bridges
Dynamic Analysis of a Suspension Bridge Using CFRP Composite Material
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is a class of advanced composite materials used in civil
engineering because of their advantages when these materials are compared to traditional ones.
These advantages are light weight, high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios,
damping capabilities, and high resistance to environmental degradation. This paper presents a
numerical study on the dynamic analysis of a suspension bridge subjected to earthquake ground
motion using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. Bosporus Suspension Bridge is
selected for application. The cross-sectional areas of CFRP elements are determined by the
principle of either equivalent-stiffness or equivalent-strength methods. The YPT330 component
of Yarımca station records of 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake is chosen as a ground motion. The
calculated displacement and internal forces occurring in the towers and deck are examined. It is
seen from the analyses results that, CFRP material are more effective than steel material for
suspension bridges
Numerical Modeling of Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete Building during Construction Stages Using ABAQUS Software
The effects of seismic actions on reinforced concrete (RC) structures are strongly influenced by the dynamic behavior of their materials. It is crucial to find a simple definition of the natural frequencies of reinforced concrete buildings, particularly in relation to both principal and secondary elements constructing the reinforced concrete building type. This paper firstly presents a comparison with the ambient vibration surveys. An analysis model of different stages of construction of the reinforced concrete masonry wall was compared using the finite element software. In the second step, structural responses of the model were investigated by means of static analysis. Three main types were examined: Bare frame for one, two and three storeys; brick-walled; and coated cases. Modal analysis is carried out by ABAQUS software starting from the deformed building, to provide the natural frequencies and mode shapes. For the natural frequencies, a good agreement is obtained between analytical and experimental results. Furthermore, the comparison results between different cases show that the application of the plaster work increases the lateral stiffness and has significant effects on the dynamic response of the buildings
Yakın Ve Uzak Fay Yer Hareketi Etkisindeki Asma Köprülerin Yapısal Davranışlarının Belirlenmesi
Konferans Bildirisi -- Teorik ve Uygulamalı Mekanik Türk Milli Komitesi, 2011Conference Paper -- Theoretical and Applied Mechanical Turkish National Committee, 2011Bu çalışmada, yakın ve uzak fay yer hareketi etkisinde bulunan asma köprülerin yapısal davranışlarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada örnek olarak, Ülkemizde bulunan iki asma köprüden biri olan Boğaziçi Köprüsü örnek olarak seçilmiştir. Köprünün sonlu eleman modeli proje verileri dikkate alınarak SAP2000 programında oluşturulmuş, analizlerde geometrik olarak lineer olmama durumu dikkate alınmıştır. Köprünün yapısal davranışının belirlenmesinde, 1999 yılında meydana gelen Kocaeli ve Chi-Chi depremlerinin aynı maksimum ivmeye ve yakın-uzakfay özelliklerine sahip ivme kayıtları kullanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, tabliye uzunluğu ve kule yüksekliği boyunca yerdeğiştirmeler ve kesit tesirleri elde edilmiş, elde edilen değerler karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelenmiştir. Çalışmadan, yakın fay yer hareketinin yerdeğiştirme ve kesit tesirlerinde uzakfay yer hareketine oranla dahafazla etkili olduğu görülmüştür
