    Experimental and numerical investigation of hysteretic earthquake behavior of masonry infilled RC frames with opening strengthened by adding rebar-reinforced stucco
    (Springer, 2024) Tekeli, Hamide; Yuksel, Ceyhun; Anil, Ozgur; Mutlu, Erkan Okay
    Adding a reinforced stucco layer to the masonry infill walls is a preferred method for strengthening RC frame system structures with an easy-to-apply method that does not require a long time, is economical, and does not require detailed and extensive workmanship. However, no research has been discovered as a result of the extensive literature review that investigates the effects of masonry-infilled RC frames strengthened with a reinforced stucco layer on the seismic performance of openings that must be due to architectural requirements such as doors, windows, installations, and similar ventilation systems. As a result, an experimental study was planned to investigate the effects of the dimensions and location of the opening in the masonry infill walls on the performance of the strengthening method with the reinforced stucco layer. The applied strengthening method increased the ultimate load capacity, initial stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity values of reinforced concrete frames with masonry infill walls by 83%, 226%, and 62%, respectively, but resulted in a 38% decrease in displacement-ductility ratios. The study found that the openings in the masonry infill walls harm the performance of the strengthening technique by adding a rebar-reinforced stucco layer and decreasing the success level. When the opening size increased, and the opening was located at the corner of the masonry wall, the performance of the applied strengthening technique was negatively affected and decreased. Furthermore, nonlinear numerical analyses of the experiments conducted as part of the study were performed using ABAQUS finite element software. The numerical analysis results were compared to the experimental results. It has been determined whether numerical analysis models are compatible with experimental results.

    Investigation of the Earthquake Behavior of Historical Erzincan Çadurcu Bath and the Reasons for Its Persistence Until Today
    (Gazi Univ, 2024) Guncu, Arzu; Soyluk, Asena; Celik, Alper; Mutlu, Erkan Okay
    In this study, the earthquake behaviour of the historical cadurcu Bath in Erzincan, which is located on the North Anatolian Fault, the most active fault line of Turkey, was investigated. This historical masonry structure has preserved its structural integrity despite being exposed to two earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 in 1939 and 6.7 in 1992. In accordance with the architectural survey studies, the historical building was modelled. According to the results of response spectrum analysis, stress and displacement distributions and modal characteristic parameters of the structure were evaluated. When the analysis results of the models created with the solid model technique and the shell model technique are compared, it is concluded that the shell modelling technique is safe in such studies, considering the analysis time and modelling difficulty. According to the results of the analyses, considering the stress distribution in the historical building elements, it is seen that the configuration characteristics of historical masonry structures are important in earthquake resistance like other building systems.
