Artar, Musa; Carbas, Serdar
The primary aim of this study is to propose an innovative design methodology for optimizing the seismic resilience performance of steel truss bridges by dissipating the maximum input seismic energy. Maximum seismic energy dissipation is carried out by means of Pall friction dampers (PFDs), popularly categorized among passive energy-damping devices. PFDs distribute input seismic energy with a slip motion along with friction during an earthquake. For that, it is important to determine the optimal slip load value for the PFDs to start working before the structural elements reach the yield point. To determine the optimal slip load values of the PFDs under earthquake effects, the maximum seismic energy distribution is assured by nature-inspired Squirrel Search (SS) and Water Strider (WS) metaheuristic algorithms for steel truss bridges equipped with PFDs. Finally, steel truss bridges on which PFDs with optimal slip load values have been implemented are optimally designed to achieve the minimal structural weight while satisfying ASD-AISC Code of Practice requirements. In order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed design methodology, two design examples of 113-member and 465-member steel truss bridges steel are presented. The optimal slip loads attained with the SS and WS algorithms by conducting the proposed design methodology are 2.45% and 3.75% of the structural weight for the first design example and 2.64% and 2.63% of the structural weight for the second design example, respectively, which are much lower than those considered in practical applications. Moreover, the numerical results show that by 93.5% and 99.48% maximum distribution rates of input seismic energy are accomplished in the bridges. The results indicate that the proposed design methodology exhibit superior performance in optimizing the seismic resilience performance of steel truss bridges by maximum energy dissipation via friction dampers.

Artar, Musa; Carbas, Serdar
This paper focuses on optimum sizing design of steel frame structures equipped with friction dampers (FDs) in order to prevent the vulnerable effect of an earthquake. The fundamental concept is to maximize the energy dissipation of implemented FDs under different seismic excitations. The FDs utilized as passive energy dissipation devices in a steel structure increase the energy dissipation capacity of the structure by decreasing the seismic demand during an earthquake. In this context, the Pall friction dampers (PFDs) are implemented as diagonal damped brace members in investigated structures. Three different earthquake records (Kobe, Kocaeli-Duzce, Erzincan) are utilized to acquire nonlinear dynamic responses of the steel frame structures through time-history analyses. The open application programming interface (OAPI) functions are used to integrate a finite element modelling based structural analysis program, SAP2000, with a design optimization algorithm encoded in MATLAB for achieving the exact structural behaviours by synchronously data transferring. As an optimizer, one of the recent nature-inspired metaheuristic techniques, so-called Grey Wolf (GW) algorithm is used. Initially, under effect of seismic excitations, the steel frame structures are optimally sized for attaining minimum design weights without implementing the PFD elements by subjecting only strength, displacement, drift, and geometric structural design constraints taken from AISC-LRFD practice code provisions. Afterward, in order for optimally modelling the PFD elements, the frames are equipped with PFDs to calculate optimum yield strengths that is defined as slip load of a PFD. To do so, the GW algorithm ensures the maximizing of the dissipated energy and controls the yield strengths between the stories since the shear force due to the earthquake increases towards the base of the structure. Eventually, the provisions-based sizing design optimizations of the steel frame structures equipped with optimally modelled PFD elements are conducted under seismic excitations for conclusive evaluations.
