Öner, Erdal; Aydoğan, Ayşe N.; Yurdakul, Muhammet; Ergün, Mustafa; Artar, Musa
This article presents a comprehensive numerical study to determine the seismic performance of the Kirazlıyalı Çenesuyu Bridge, currently in service in Kocaeli, Türkiye, under both seismically isolated and non-isolated conditions, considering different soil types. The study holds great importance due to Kocaeli’s status as one of Türkiye’s most developed industrial regions, its location in a high-seismic-risk area, and its complex geological structure. The Kirazlıyalı Çenesuyu Bridge is a structure consisting of simply supported prestressed girders, commonly used in highway transportation networks. Designed as a twin bridge, the structure is 134 meters in length and 20 meters in width. Currently, the bridge is not equipped with seismic isolators; instead, its superstructure rests on elastomeric bearings over abutments and piers. Within the scope of this study, the bridge was retrofitted with Single Curved Friction Pendulum (SCFP) seismic isolators. These SCFP isolators were specifically designed in accordance with the Turkey Building Earthquake Code (TBEC-2019) standards for two distinct soil classes: ZA (hard rock) and ZC (very dense sand and gravel). The soil-pile interaction was simulated using single-parameter Winkler spring models in both horizontal and vertical directions. The Finite Element Model (FEM) of the bridge was developed in SAP2000 software, and analyses were conducted on this platform. The seismic performance of the bridge was assessed through nonlinear dynamic time history analyses using real earthquake ground motion records from the Imperial Valley, Kocaeli, and Kahramanmaraş (Pazarcık) earthquakes under various scenarios. The seismic responses of the bridge were examined in terms of base shear forces, lateral displacements of the pile, shear forces at the pier, bending moments at the pier, deck accelerations, and the hysteresis curves of the isolator. The study results demonstrate significant improvements in the seismic behavior of the bridge when equipped with the seismic isolation system. Furthermore, these improvements are shown to be directly influenced by the interaction of the structure-pile-soil system, as well as the compatibility between the frequency characteristics of this system and the frequency content of the imposed earthquake. The numerical data supporting these results are presented in the relevant sections through tables and graphs.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2025Scopus SJRQ3A comprehensive analysis of the ground motions of the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye earthquakes
Kiral, Adnan; Tonyali, Zeliha; Ergun, Mustafa
With a focus on the dynamic characteristics of the ground motion recorded in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, this study provides an overview of the historical seismicity of the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) as well as the characteristics of the Pazarcik and Elbistan earthquakes (Mw=7.7 and Mw=7.6) that resulted in property loss and casualties on February 6, 2023. Analyzing the ground motion and local site effects for the earthquake region has been the subject of extensive research in the past. Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) are one of the evaluation techniques utilised in the literature. Previous research employing this approach and other techniques suggested that the earthquake region’s geotechnical and seismological conditions are complicated, particularly in Hatay City. In this study, to further investigate the ground motions, six GMPEs, which were previously proposed for the USA, Europe and the Middle East, are adopted. The findings of this study are integrated with those from previous research for comprehensive assessments. This study shows that the PGA of the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes cannot be fully predicted using GMPEs, which use epicentral distance (Repi) in the equation. As a result, further research into rupture distance (Rrup) or Joyner-Boore distance (Rjb)-based equations is necessary. Also, the complexity of the region (i.e., irregularities present in alluvial deposits) and the high PGA values could be responsible for such a result. This study emphasizes the region’s need to have more sophisticated GMPEs in the future.

Turan, Muhittin; Kahya, Volkan; Yaylacı, Ecren Uzun; Yaylacı, Murat
This paper introduces a highly accurate and computationally efficient shear deformable finite element model for the static analysis of bi-directional functionally graded beams (BD-FGBs) with various boundary conditions grounded in the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The model, featuring ten degrees of freedom across five nodes, excels in capturing both axial and shear deformations with remarkable precision while maintaining a streamlined formulation. In a novel approach, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) methods are also employed alongside the finite element analysis, offering a dual-method investigation into the static behavior of BD-FGBs. This paper aims to further advance the understanding of BD-FGM beams by exploring their static behavior under diverse loading conditions and boundary constraints, employing advanced finite element methods and artificial neural network techniques. The material properties are modeled through power-law distributions, and the governing equations are derived from Lagrange’s principle. Displacements and stresses were computed under different boundary conditions (BCs), slenderness ratios (L/h), and power-law indices (px, pz). Comparative analysis with existing literature reveals the superior suitability of the proposed finite element model for static analysis, while the ANN approach further reinforces its potential as a robust, complementary tool. The innovative combination of these methods promises to offer significant contributions to the field and provides new insights into the behavior of BD-FGBs under static loads.

Tayfur, Bilal; Daloğlu, Ayşe T.
In this paper, a Guided Simulated Annealing (GSA) algorithm is presented to optimize 2D and 3D steel frames against Progressive Collapse. Considering the nature of structural optimization problems, a number of restrictions and improvements have been applied to the decision mechanisms of the algorithm without harming the randomness. With these improvements, the algorithm aims to focus relatively on the flawed variables of the analyzed frame. Besides that, it is intended to be more rational by instituting structural constraints on the sections to be selected as variables. In addition to the LRFD restrictions, the alternate path method with nonlinear dynamic procedure is used to assess the risk of progressive collapse, as specified in the US Department of Defense United Facilities Criteria (UFC) Design of Buildings to Resist Progressive Collapse. The entire optimization procedure was carried out on a C# software that supports parallel processing developed by the authors, and the frames were analyzed in SAP2000 using OAPI. Time history analyses of the removal scenarios are distributed to the processor cores in order to reduce computational time. The GSA produced 3% lighter structure weights than the SA (Simulated Annealing) and 4% lighter structure weights than the GA (Genetic Algorithm) for the 2D steel frame. For the 3D model, the GSA obtained 3% lighter results than the SA. Furthermore, it is clear that the UFC and LRFD requirements differ when the acceptance criteria are examined. It has been observed that the moment capacity of the entire frame is critical when designing according to UFC.

Majidian, Sina; Tapkın, Serkan; Tercan, Emre
Evaluation of tunnel performance in seismic-prone areas demands efficient means of estimating performance at different hazard levels. The present study introduces an innovative push-over analysis approach which employs the standard earthquake spectrum to simulate the performance of a tunnel. The numerical simulation has taken into account the lining and surrounding rock to calculate the rock-tunnel interaction subjected to a static push-over displacement regime. Elastic perfectly plastic models for the lining and hardening strain rock medium were used to portray the development of plastic hinges, nonlinear deformation, and performance of the tunnel structure. Separately using a computational algorithm, the non-linear response spectrum was approximated from the average shear strain of the rock model. A NATM tunnel in Turkey was chosen for parametric study. A seismic performance curve and two performance thresholds are introduced that are based on the proposed nonlinear seismic static loading approach and the formation of plastic hinges. The tunnel model was also subjected to a harmonic excitation with a smooth response spectrum and different amplitudes in the fully-dynamic phase to assess the accuracy of the approach. The parametric study investigated the effects of the lining stiffness and capacity and soil stiffness on the seismic performance of the tunnel.

Yaylacı, Murat; Yaylacı, Ecren Uzun; Turan, Muhittin; Özdemir, Mehmet Emin; Öztürk, Şevval; Ay, Sevil
In this study, the two-dimensional crack problem was investigated by using the finite element method (FEM)based ANSYS package program and the artificial neural network (ANN)-based multilayer perceptron (MLP) method. For this purpose, a half-infinite functionally graded (FG) layer with a crack pressed through two rigid blocks was analyzed using FEM and ANN. Mass forces and friction were neglected in the solution. To control the validity of the crack problem model exercised, the acquired results were compared with a study in the literature. In addition, FEM and ANN results were checked using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R2), and a well agreement was found. Numerical solutions were made considering different geometric parameters and material properties. The stress intensity factor (SIF) was examined for these values, and the results were presented. Consequently, it is concluded that the considered non-dimensional quantities have a noteworthy influence on the SIF. Also FEM and ANN can be logical alternative methods to time-consuming analytical solutions if used correctly.

Hatipoğlu, Yavuz S.; Düzgün, Oğuz A.
The effectiveness of fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) on dynamic response mitigation of coupled two adjacent structures was investigated, considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects under earthquake excitation. A numerical procedure was employed to evaluate system response. The finite elements were used for the numerical treatment of the adjacent buildings and soil region. Viscous boundary conditions were used as special non-reflecting boundaries on the edges of finite soil region. According to the results, the FVDs were found to be very effective for dynamic response mitigation of the adjacent buildings, even if considering the soil medium. The results showed that the most affecting parameter on the system response was found to be soil type. It was also concluded that when adjacent structures coupled by FVDs, the maximum values of the roof displacements, the base shear forces, and the base bending moments could decrease up to around 50%. Changing in lateral stiffness of the one building has minor effects on the effectiveness of viscous dampers

This paper investigates the artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the dimensionless parameters for contact pressures and contact lengths under the rigid punch, the initial separation loads, and the initial separation distances of a contact problem. The problem consisted of two elastic infinitely layers (EL) loaded by means of a rigid cylindrical punch and resting on a half-infinite plane (HP). Firstly, the problem was formulated and solved theoretically using the Theory of Elasticity (ET). Secondly, the contact problem was extended based on the ANN. External load, the radius of punch, layer heights, and material properties were created by giving examples of different values used at the training and test stages of ANN. Finally, the accuracy of the trained neural networks for the case was tested using 134 new data, generated via ET solutions to determine the best network model. ANN results were compared with ET results, and well agreements were achieved.

Artar, Musa
This paper presents a research on optimum design of cold-formed steel space frames using a new algorithm method named Jaya, which has been developed in recent years. The most obvious difference of Jaya algorithm from other algorithms is that it does not need any control parameters for updating. However, Jaya algorithm is able to successfully reach the optimum solutions without any delay. In this study, in order to test the robustness and practicality of this novel algorithm technique, different steel space frame problems that have been studied with other algorithms in literature are examined. The minimum weight designs of the problems are carried out by selecting suitable C-section from a prepared list including 85 C-sections with lips taken from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI 2008). A program is coded in MATLAB interacting with SAP2000 OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface) in order to obtain optimum solutions. The strength constraints according to AISI-LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design), lateral displacement constraints, inter-story drift constraints and geometrical constraints are taken into account in the analyses. Two different cold-formed steel space frames are taken from literature to research optimum solutions by using Jaya algorithm. The first steel space frame is 379-member and the second steel space frame is 1211-member. The results obtained using Jaya algorithm are compared with those in reference studies. The results prove that Jaya algorithm technique is quite successful and practical optimum design of cold-formed steel space frames.

Öner, Erdal
This study has been performed to investigate the receding contact problem of a homogeneous orthotropic coating that is not bonded to a homogeneous isotropic substrate without any interfacial defects. The isotropic substrate is supported on a Winkler foundation. The problem is solved assuming that the contact between the rigid punch and orthotropic coating, and that between the orthotropic coating and isotropic substrate, are frictionless. Additionally, the effect of the body forces is neglected, and only compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interfaces. The contact analysis of the orthotropic coating, which is subjected to a contact load using a rigid cylindrical punch, is performed under plane strain conditions. The governing equations are analytically found using the theory of elasticity and Fourier integral transformation techniques. Subsequently, the governing equations are reduced to a system of two singular equations, wherein the unknowns are the contact stresses and contact widths. To numerically solve the resulting singular integral equations, Gauss-Chebyshev integration formulas are employed. It is analyzed the influence of the following parameters on the contact stresses and contact widths: orthotropic-material properties, punch radius, load ratio, Winkler foundation stiffness.

Yaylacı, Murat; Adıyaman, Gökhan; Öner, Erdal; Birinci, Ahmet
The aim of this paper was to examine the continuous and discontinuous contact problems between the functionally graded (FG) layer pressed with a uniformly distributed load and homogeneous half plane using an analytical method and FEM. The FG layer is made of non-homogeneous material with an isotropic stress–strain law with exponentially varying properties. It is assumed that the contact at the FG layer-half plane interface is frictionless, and only the normal tractions can be transmitted along the contacted regions. The body force of the FG layer is considered in the study. The FG layer was positioned on the homogeneous half plane without any bonds. Thus, if the external load was smaller than a certain critical value, the contact between the FG layer and half plane would be continuous. However, when the external load exceeded the critical value, there was a separation between the FG layer and half plane on the finite region, as discontinuous contact. Therefore, there have been some steps taken in this study. Firstly, an analytical solution for continuous and discontinuous contact cases of the problem has been realized using the theory of elasticity and Fourier integral transform techniques. Then, the problem modeled and two-dimensional analysis was carried out by using ANSYS package program based on FEM. Numerical results for initial separation distance and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for continuous contact case; the start and end points of separation and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for discontinuous contact case were provided for various dimensionless quantities including material inhomogeneity, distributed load width, the shear module ratio and load factor for both methods. The results obtained using FEM were compared with the results found using analytical formulation. It was found that the results obtained from analytical formulation were in perfect agreement with the FEM study.

Yaylacı, Murat; Adıyaman, Gökhan; Öner, Erdal; Birinci, Ahmet
In this study, the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of functionally graded (FG) layer resting on a rigid foundation were considered. The top of the FG layer was loaded by a distributed load. It was assumed that the shear modulus and the density of the layer varied according to exponential functions along the depth whereas the the Poisson ratio remained constant. The problem first was solved analytically and the results were verified with the ones obtained from finite element (FE) solution. In analytical solution, the stress and displacement components for FG layer were obtained by the help of Fourier integral transform. Critical load expression and integral equation for continuous and discontinuous contact, respectively, using corresponding boundary conditions in each case. The finite element solution of the problem was carried out using ANSYS software program. In continuous contact case, initial separation distance and contact stresses along the contact surface between the FG layer and the rigid foundation were examined. Separation distances and contact stresses were obtained in case of discontinuous contact. The effect of material properties and loading were investigated using both analytical and FE solutions. It was shown that obtained results were compatible with each other.

Artar, Musa; Daloğlu, Ayşe T.
The effect of soil foundation plays active role in optimum design of steel space frames when included. However, its influence on design can be calculated after a long iterative procedure. So it requires longer computer time and more computational effort if it is done properly. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how these effects can be calculated in more practical way in a shorter time. The effects of semi-rigid column bases are taken into account in optimum design of steel space frames. This study is carried out by using JAYA algorithm which is a novel and practical method based on a single revision equation. The displacement, stress and geometric size constraints are considered in the optimum design. A computer program is coded in MATLAB to achieve corporation with SAP2000-OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface) for optimum solutions. Four different steel space frames including soil structure interaction taken from literature are investigated according to different semi-rigidly supported models depending on different rotational stiffness values. And the results obtained from analyses are compared with the results available in reference studies. The results of the study show that semi-rigidly supported systems in the range of appropriate rotational stiffness values offer practical solutions in a very short time. And close agreement is obtained with the studies on optimum design of steel space frames including soil effect underneath.

Artar, Musa; Daloğlu, Ayşe T.
This study investigates optimum designs of steel space truss towers under seismic loading by using Jaya optimization algorithm. Turkish Earthquake Code (2007) specifications are applied on optimum designs of steel space truss towers under the seismic loading for different local site classes depending on different soil groups. The proposed novel algorithm does not have any algorithm-specific control parameters and depends only a simple revision equation. Therefore, it provides a practical solution for structural optimization problems. Optimum solutions of the different steel truss examples are carried out by selecting suitable W sections taken from American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). In order to obtain optimum solutions, a computer program is coded in MATLAB in corporated with SAP2000-OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface). The stress and displacement constraints are applied on the design problems according to AISC-ASD (Allowable Stress Design) specifications. Firstly, a benchmark truss problem is examined to see the efficiency of Jaya optimization algorithm. Then, two different multi-element truss towers previously solved with other methods without seismic loading in literature are designed by the proposed algorithm. The first space tower is a 582-member space truss with the height of 80 m and the second space tower is a 942-member space truss of about 95 m height. The minimum optimum designs obtained with this novel algorithm for the case without seismic loading are lighter than the ones previously attained in the literature studies. The results obtained in the study show that Jaya algorithm is a practical and robust optimization method for structural optimization problems. Moreover, incorporation of the seismic loading causes significant increase in the minimum design weight.

Yurdakul, Muhammet; Ates, Sevket
This study aims to investigate the stochastic response of isolated and non-isolated highway bridges subjected to spatially varying earthquake ground motion model. This model includes wave passage, incoherence and site response effects. The wave passage effect is examined by using various wave velocities. The incoherency effect is investigated by considering the Harichandran and Vanmarcke coherency model. The site response effect is considered by selecting homogeneous firm, medium and soft soil types where the bridge supports are constructed. The ground motion is described by power spectral density function and applied to each support point. Triple concave friction pendulum (TCFP) bearing which is more effective than other seismic isolation systems is used for seismic isolation. To implement seismic isolation procedure, TCFP bearing devices are placed at each of the support points of the deck. In the analysis, the bridge selected is a five-span featuring cast-in-place concrete box girder superstructure supported on reinforced concrete columns. Foundation supported highway bridge is regarded as three regions and compared its different situation in the stochastic analysis. The stochastic analyses results show that spatially varying ground motion has important effects on the stochastic response of the isolated and non-isolated bridges as long span structures.
