Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Damage Limits for Ductile Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls(Turkish Chamber Civil Engineers, 2012) Gülkan, Hakkı Polat; Kazaz, Ilker; Gulkan, Polat; İnşaat MühendisliğiAlthough the strain based damage limits proposed in the existing Turkish Earthquake Code were adopted from reported studies of leading researchers, the appropriateness of these limit state definitions and corresponding values to evaluate the performance with the analytical tools and methods used in the displacement based design and assessment procedures has not been verified properly. The moment-curvature analysis based on the plane section hypothesis is severely violated especially for reinforced concrete walls. This indicates that a comprehensive investigation is required to investigate the validity of proposed damage limits for structural walls. This study is based on advanced and computationally rigorous numerical procedures to investigate the relation between drift ratio, plastic rotation and curvature, compressive strain in concrete and tensile strain in steel for rectangular reinforced concrete structural walls. Validity of the requirements related to deformation limits in the Turkish Seismic Code and other design guidelines is then evaluated. Modeling and acceptance criteria that are more accurate than the existing ones have been proposed for structural walls.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Flow Rate Along the Length of the Swirling Vortex Axis at an Intake(Turkish Chamber Civil Engineers, 2021) Yildirim, Nevzat; Tastan, KeremIn this study, the characteristics of the flow in the region of swirling vortex are examined. The potential flow model based on the summing infinite number of spherical sinks along the vortex core is introduced to predict the flow field and the flow rate along the vortex axis. The flow towards the swirling vortex core has considerable effects on the radial velocity distribution within the ambient fluid flow region near the intake. The agreement between available test data relating to the radial velocity and the method introduced in this study is found to be satisfactory.
