    Estimation of flexural capacity of quadrilateral FRP-confined RC columns using combined artificial neural network
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2012) Koroglu, Mehmet Alpaslan; Ceylan, Murat; Arslan, Musa Hakan; Ilki, Alper
    This study presents the application of combined artificial neural networks (CANNs) for the flexural capacity estimation of quadrilateral fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete (RC) columns. A database on quadrilateral FRP confined RC columns subjected to axial load and moment was obtained from experimental studies in the literature; CANN models were built, trained and tested. Then the flexural capacities of quadrilateral FRP confined RC columns were determined using the developed CANN model. Single and combined ANN was used for the first time in the literature for the estimation of flexural capacities of non-circular fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confined reinforced concrete (RC) columns. The accuracies of the proposed ANN and CANN models were more satisfactory as compared to the existing conventional approaches in the literature. Moreover, the proposed CANN models' results had lower prediction error than those of the single ANN model. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Experimental Study on Beam-to-Column Connections of Steel Frame Structures with Steel Slit Dampers
    (ASCE-AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, 2015) Koken, Ali; Koroglu, Mehmet Alpaslan
    After the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes important experimental programs on beam-to-column connections were developed because of brittle fractures at welded beam-to-column connections. A number of studies are being carried out on a variety of materials and systems that dissipate the seismic loading effects in order to improve the seismic performance of steel frames. In the research reported in this paper, a slit steel damper system was developed to prevent the damage formation of standard columns and beams by dissipating lateral loads at the beam-to-column connections of steel frames. Therefore, the columns and beams of steel frames will not be damaged after a heavy earthquake, and the structures might be put into the service again simply by replacing the dampers at the connection sites. The seismic performance of the studied connection was verified through cyclic tests of two full-scale steel frames that had slit dampers and of one specimen that had a conventional extended end-plate connection. Test results indicated that the proposed connection showed a good hysteretic behavior, a good energy dissipation capacity, and good rigidity. However, plastic deformation is limited to the slit dampers, while the inelastic behavior of the beams and columns is prevented. (C) 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers.

    PHOTOGRAMMETRIC APPROACH IN DETERMINING BEAM-COLUMN CONNECTION DEFORMATIONS
    (UNIV FEDERAL PARANA, CENTRO POLITECNICO, 2014) Koken, Ali; Koroglu, Mehmet Alpaslan; Karabork, Hakan; Ceylan, Ayhan
    In accordance with the advances in technology, displacement calculation techniques are ever developing. Photogrammetry has become preferable in some new disciplines with the advances in the image processing methods. In this study, the authors have used two different measurement techniques to determine the angles of rotation in beam-column connections that are subjected to reversible cyclic loading. The first of these is the method that is widely used, the conventional method in structural mechanics experiments, where Linear Variable Differential Transformers (LVDTs) are utilized; and the second is the photogrammetric measurement technique. The rotation angles were determined using these techniques in a total of ten steel beam-column connection experiments. After discussing the test procedures of the aforementioned methods, the results were presented. It was observed that the rotation angles measured by each method were very close to each other. It was concluded that the photogrammetric measurement technique could be used as an alternative to conventional methods, where electronic LVDTs are used.

    USE OF DIFFERENT SHAPED STEEL SLIT DAMPERS IN BEAM TO COLUMN CONNECTIONS OF STEEL FRAMES UNDER CYCLING LOADING
    (HONG KONG INST STEEL CONSTRUCTION, 2018) Koroglu, Mehmet Alpaslan; Koken, Ali; Dere, Yunus
    Following the Northridge and Kobe earthquakes, extensive research was conducted on the use of various materials and systems that will absorb the earthquake effects within the structure itself in order to improve the behavior of the steel structures under seismic effects. In this study, the use of seismic dampers at beam-column joints of steel-framed structures to prevent damage to the structural members by absorbing the energy of the lateral loads was investigated. Thus, it will be possible for the steel-framed structures to be put into service right after a damaging earthquake by only replacing the dampers attached to the joints as no damage will occur to the beams and columns. For this purpose, as a first step, dampers with ductile behavior were chosen through preliminary tests. Consistent with the results of the preliminary tests, a total of six full-scale corner beam-column joint test specimens were produced. Five specimens were attached various types of dampers m different sizes and one reference specimen was designed with regular end-plate connection. After the evaluation of the test results, valuable data on the load carrying and energy consumption capacities, stiffness characteristics and the general behavior of the specimens were obtained. In the analytical part of the study, analyses of the selected specimens were performed through ANSYS finite elements software package. The analytical and experimental results were compared and have been found very consistent with each other.
