Abstract:

In this study, the effects of the filling walls placed in different rates and arrangements within the floor on the seismic behavior of concrete buildings were studied. The performance of the buildings designed in accordance with the Turkey Building Earthquake Regulation (TBDY-2018) has been identified by non-linear analysis method in the field of time determination. For the analysis, 11 earthquakes were selected taking into account parameters such as earthquake records, close and remote effects, the size of the earthquakes, the kind of ground and the benefit mechanism of our country. Selected drive records have been extended to be compatible with the horizontal elastic design spectrum given in TBDY-2018 using the simple extension method. In the analysis, 5 different levels of filling walls were considered. These filling walls have been considered in the analysis as diagonal (equivalent) pressure bars. The building’s final element model uses SAP2000 and the Cut Analysis uses the RESPONSE2000 program. As a result of the analysis, the mod forms obtained from buildings for each filling wall ratio, the vibration period values, the relative layer slurry rates and the building performance levels are compared.
