The FE model was developed and validated against experimental results reported in published literature. The parametric study was thereafter conducted to examine important parameters influencing the strengthened behavior. The parameters were concrete compressive strength, beam width, beam size, and tension reinforcement ratio. The FE model accurately predicted experimental results with a mean predicted-to-experimental value of 1.04. The FE results showed that the percentage of shear strength provided by embedded steel bars was almost constant once both concrete strength and tension reinforcement ratio were increased. However, an increase in the beam width resulted in a decrease in the percentage of shear strength gain due to embedded steel bars. Shear stress at failure decreased once beam size was increased for both unstrengthened (control) and DE-strengthened beams. The percentage of shear strength provided by embedded steel bars decreased from 47.9% to 27.6% as effective depth was increased from 261.5 mm to 523 mm.","PeriodicalId":151121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering & Applied Mechanics","volume":"498 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132963346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Uncertain structural parameters of interest are shear modulus and mass density, modeled using the lognormal distribution. The stochastic seismic response of the dam-foundation system to the random loads with uncertain structural parameters is carried out with the Monte Carlo simulation method. The spatial variability of ground motion is considered with incoherence and wave passage effects as stationary as well as non-stationary random excitation. A time-dependent frequency response function is used throughout the study for non-stationary responses. Obtained results indicate that the variability of shear modulus and mass density can be neglected in stochastic dynamic analysis of an asphaltic lining dam-foundation system. Also, it is seen from the results that stationarity is a reasonable assumption for asphaltic lining dams to typical durations of strong shaking.","PeriodicalId":151121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering & Applied Mechanics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133666041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, maintenance of these structures should be made periodically to prevent natural and manmade hazards.

Experimental, especially non-destructive methods are crucial for increasing the knowledge level of historical structures. Also, experimental tests provide information data that is used in the modal updating process of numerical models. Thus, simulations that are impossible to make experimentally can be easily carried out with updated numerical models. In this paper, a historical masonry mosque called İskenderpaşa and its minaret is investigated by nondestructive experimental tests. Also, finite element models of both structures are created by ANSYS software. To obtain reliable numerical models, finite element model updating processes are made with the aid of experimental data. At the end of the study, the differences between natural frequencies are reduced from 18.6% to 4.9% for the mosque and from 15.2% to 4.8% for the minaret.

Thermoplastic composite materials used in the study were produced by lamination technique. In composite production; Glass fiber and carbon-aramid hybrid fabrics were used as fiber, and polyethylene granules were used as matrix. Thermoplastic sheets were obtained by keeping polyethylene granules and woven fibers in the hot press for a certain period of time. The damage behavior of the composite test specimens under tensile load was tested for the number of layers and fiber type. As the number of layers increased, stiffness, damage load and deformations increased in thermoplastic composites.

To reach a sufficient level of structural performance, the following two options can be considered: reconstruction or strengthening of structures. Although reconstruction has some advantages in terms of using current technological developments, this option can lead to some negative consequences such as interruption of the building's service life, relatively high cost, and sustainability issues. Therefore, strengthening an existing structure mostly stands out as the first choice. The techniques used in strengthening applications can be grouped into two different methods: traditional (addition of new structural members) and non-conventional (seismic base isolation, local retrofitting, and jacketing). Among innovative methods, the fibre-reinforced polymer strengthening method attracts attention due to several advantages including practical applicability, as well as shear and bending capacity increase. Its application to the outer surface of structural members using resin reduces deterioration. Plus, fibres oriented in various directions spread stresses in different directions, therefore, provide effective force distribution. In this study, the effect of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) orientation and RC material properties in the strengthening RC beams were investigated using MATLAB software. Accordingly, all stages of the design process are presented for RC beam strengthening considering both flexural and shear effects based on the American Concrete Institute (ACI) 440.2R standard. Through compiling MATLAB code, calculation time reduces, and material characteristics can be obtained more accurately. Plus, using curves obtained by MATLAB coding, shear and bending capacity increases can be observed. According to our findings, the application of one-layer CFRP plate to an RC beam increases the bending capacity by 50.6% and shear capacity by 33.6%. However, as the number of layers increases, the capacity increase rate reduces.","PeriodicalId":151121,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Structural Engineering & Applied Mechanics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130895852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
