Analysis of the Effects of Adding Pyroclastic Rock To Red Mud for the Production of a Baked Building Material in Terms of Its Resistance To Frost Actions
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, 2020) Dereli, Mustafa; Tosun, Mustafa
In the aluminum sector, approximately 130 million tons of waste red mud was produced in the last year. Such a high amount of wastes causes their storage areas to become a threat to the environment. Numerous studies have been conducted in the literature to eliminate this environmental threat. However, it is observed that these studies are mostly conducted on only a part of the waste, and there are few studies on the whole consumption of waste. Due to the said lack in the literature, it is thought that this waste can be utilized as a baked building material and consumed systematically. However, according to the literature and previous studies, it is observed that the use of the waste alone will not produce a quality building material. Therefore, otiose pyroclastic rocks were included within the scope of the study to be used together with the waste material. Accordingly, micronized pyroclastic rocks obtained from different regions were added to red mud at the proportions of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% by weight. Bentonite of 3% was added to mixtures to prevent capillary cracks. As a result of the preliminary experiments conducted on the baked building material samples obtained with the above-mentioned mixture ratios, two mixture types from each region with the highest compressive strength were selected. Physical and mechanical experiments were conducted on the samples to determine the resistance to frost actions-as an outer ambient condition with the most destructive effect-of the baked building materials (especially brick, etc. with the widest area of usage in outer walls and surface cover materials such as ceramic, clinker pavement, etc.) which will be obtained with these mixtures. As a result of the study, the optimum mixture type was determined to be the sample formed by adding 10% volcanic tuff around campus to red mud and baking it at a temperature of 1050 degrees C. Furthermore, different mixture types formed by adding the micronized pyroclastic material from other regions could reach sufficient values in terms of both compressive strength and frost actions. According to the results of the study, this material will fulfill the need for raw material as a building material resistant to frost actions and used in outer masonry. In this study, a process was obtained to eliminate a potential environmental problem, and a contemporary building material intended to be used as a sustainable building material was produced.

An Analytical Study About the Use of Steel Plate Shear Walls To Improve Lateral Rigidity of Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures
(LATIN AMER J SOLIDS STRUCTURES, 2020) Korkmaz, Serra Zerrin
Steel plate shear walls are becoming popular for steel structures. In this study, the use of Steel Plate Shear Walls (SPSW) was discussed to increase the horizontal stiffness of reinforced concrete structures. It was aimed to fix the SPSW elements to the exterior of the building. ABAQUS models of SPSW applied 2D frame samples, which were tested in a previous experimental study, were created. Experimental and analytical horizontal load-top displacement curves were found to be in good agreement. In the study, ABAQUS models of a 6-story and 3D reinforced concrete building were also created. In models, SPSW elements were placed at the exterior of the building. The load capacities of the reinforced and non-reinforced building models were compared. The steel sheet thickness and the number of frame openings at which the SPSW element was placed were considered as the variable parameters.

Assessment of the Rural Economic Structure of Gudul Town (ankara) by Quantified Swot Analysis
(KONYA TECHNICAL UNIV, FAC ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN, 2020) Dereyurt, Buse Sahin; Gündüz, Elif
Purpose Rather than solely having agricultural production at its core, rural development comprises of a multiaxial structure in which the socio-economic structure develops, non-agricultural economic diversification is assured, and a governance-based approached is adopted in the organization and participation mechanisms. The applicability and consistency of these intertwined axes entail an integrated approach to efforts in rural development. With the purpose of uncovering the critical points of the process, creating strategies intended for rural economic development within the axes valued by different stakeholders, and strengthening the participation mechanisms, SWOT Analysis, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) integrated method, and TOWS matrix have been used to identify the Gudul rural economic development model. Design/Methodology/Approach In this study, the hierarchical structure established for the economic structure of Gudul is placed on the foundations of a SWOT analysis, quantified through Analytic Hierarchy Process, and evaluated within the framework of the three stakeholder's perceptions (local people, experts, and local governments) according to their priority values. Findings Thus, the extent of the respective effects of important factors in rural economic development has been identified. In conclusion, the decisive role of quantified methods in the identification of strategies and policies utilized in the process of Gudu's rural economic development has been manifested. Various strategies supporting the rural development and also institutions responsible for the implementation of these strategies were designated in light of the needs of Gudul and the expectations of the local people living in rural areas. Research Limitations/Implications The version of the questionnaire forms compatible with the SWOT-AHP technique, the scarcity of local manager surveys, the lack of answers to the questions of the local people are among the main difficulties encountered. Originality/Value This study is quite original in that it is the first strategic rural development plan model made specifically for Gudul, related to the participation of indigenous people in planning initiatives and transparently reflects the sometimes combined and sometimes changing views of local people, experts and local administrators about the importance of SWOT groups has a quality.

(SPRINGER, 2021) Doğan, Gamze; Ecemiş, Ali Serdar; Korkmaz, Serra Zerrin; Arslan, Musa Hakan; Korkmaz, Hasan Hüsnü
A 6.8-magnitude earthquake that occurred on January 24, 2020, has been effective in Turkey's eastern regions. The earthquake, with recorded peak ground acceleration (PGA) value of 0.292 g, caused the destruction or heavy damage of buildings, especially in the city center of Elazig province. The purpose of this paper was to share the results of detailed investigation in the earthquake-stricken area. Additionally, the causes of damages and failures observed in the buildings were compared to those that had occurred in previous earthquakes in Turkey. In this study, the damages observed in especially RC buildings as well as in masonry and rural buildings were summarized, the lessons learned were evaluated, and the results were interpreted with reference to Turkish earthquake codes. In the study, it was particularly emphasized why the building stock underwent such damage even though the buildings were exposed to earthquake acceleration well below the design acceleration values.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to reveal the deficiencies and the space features that people who have to spend more time in their homes during the Covid-19 epidemic process. Design/Methodology/Approach This research was conducted during the coronavirus pandemic, when individuals had to stay in their homes, spend more time at their homes and get to know their homes better. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to 400 residents living in the apartment and site (multi-block apartment). The obtained data were evaluated in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) and the results were expressed in figures and tables. Findings The changes made by the users living in these residences in all spaces of the house (living areas, wet areas, night units, semi-open, open, etc.) and their evaluations for these spaces are presented in detail. Research Limitations/Implications The main limitations of this study are that residential users are directly included in the study process through questionnaires. Originality/Value As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world, architecture was affected by this situation, as in many disciplines, and people started to rearrange their lives by taking measures against the risk of epidemics. Measures have been taken all over the world to reduce the risk of transmission of the epidemic, and curfews have been implemented. In the discipline of architecture, the spatial fictions that have continued until this time have been questioned, and people have been drawn to their residences against the risk of infection by the virus. Streets, avenues and squares in the cities remained empty and public spaces (shopping mall, cultural centre, sports centre, etc.) became unusable. This process enabled individuals to analyse their homes better and people realized the features they needed regarding the spaces they lived in during this process. In this study, the effects of this newly encountered process on residential spaces are revealed.

Design of a Thermal Hotel Based on Ahp-Qfd Methodology
(MDPI, 2021) Varolgüneş, Fatma Kürüm; Canan, Fatih; del Rio-Rama, Maria de la Cruz; Oliveira, Cristiana
The aim of this investigation was to help select design criteria that highlight customer satisfaction, and thus improve the design quality in buildings, specifically in a building of a thermal hotel. The methodology is based on applying the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) technique to listen to the voice of the customer, in addition to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which allows selection of the best design alternative. The literature shows that QFD-AHP methods have been tried in different areas of the building industry, but there are few examples of combining building design processes. In the study process, collaboration environments between stakeholders were established and the operability of the method used was tested with real actors. The matrix solutions realised in the horizontal and vertical sections of the framework of the model can be reused in different projects with different user demands. This added a modular and developable feature to the model. This study revealed that the most important customer needs, in order of importance, are health, service, comfort, and functionality. These are followed by accessibility, aesthetics, and energy conservation. According to the findings, QFD was shown to be an appropriate method for transferring customer (occupant) requirements to designs in the most accurate manner, given the complex structure of thermal hotel buildings.
Disability and Otherization: Readings on Cinema in the Light of Ud Principles
(2018) Bala, Havva Alkan; Uyaroğlu, İlkay Dinç
Cinema and architecture are universal with their inclusiveness in the mental process. The mental process is often generated by the sense of sight in modern times. In this sense, cinema, as a visual art, has started to take an active role in the intellectual, conceptual and creative actions of modern man. With the cinema, the realities of the virtual world have become more convincing than the dreams of the real world. It involves person-environment relationships which might not be ours but “look like ours”. Universal Design (UD) also puts forward a proactive interaction in-between man and environment. UD is based on equitable, flexible, intuitive, perceptible, tolerant-to-error access with appropriate size and space. While its conceptual basis with its guidelines are commonly constructed on the spatial needs of people with disabilities, it highlights disability does not focus on only permanent, visible, bodily or intellectual (dis)abilities. Every kind of "otherization" creates disability in society. This study aims to investigate how the relationship between architecture and disability in cinema is portrayed by reading through films that are masterpieces covering experiences of different disability groups. Using Visual Analysis method in the study, the codes and categories generated based on the UD Principles are associated with selected visual images and dialogues according to the frames of meaning of the scenes in the films. In this way, this study aims to question the location of UD parameters in physical and social environment through cinema.

Evaluation of Aluminium Production Waste in Building Material Production
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2021) Dereli, Mustafa; Tosun, Mustafa
Purpose The production of aluminum is based on obtaining alumina from bauxite, which is also known as the "Bayer Process." However, waste that is enough to endanger the environment is released at the end of this process applied to obtain aluminum. In Turkey, red mud waste is released from Seydişehir ETİ Aluminum production facilities into the pond located within the settlements. Red mud, which creates a potential environmental problem, should be systematically eliminated. In the literature, there are hundreds of studies on this subject. However, it is observed that these studies will not accelerate the waste consumption process. The consumption of the waste as soon as possible will be possible by using it as the main raw material. In this context, using both the literature and the doctorate study of the manuscript's author, the methods for using the waste as a building material were discussed for the systematic consumption of it. Design/Methodology/Approach Accordingly, in the study, the physical (specific gravity, plastic limit, differential thermal analysis, etc.) and chemical properties (XRF) of the waste red mud were discussed together with the waste generation process starting with the Bayer process. Furthermore, the physical (specific gravity, water absorption, water vapor permeability, initial water absorption velocity), mechanical (compressive strength) of the building materials that could be produced by using the waste were also included in the study. Findings It was concluded that it was possible to produce a quality building material by using the waste as a raw material. Research Limitations/Implications Type the research limitations/implications of the paper here. The study was limited to the mixing of red mud waste and pyroclastic rocks in certain proportions and their use as raw materials in the production of baked building materials by baking at different temperatures. Social/Practical Implications In this study, a solution method to a potential environmental problem was developed. Furthermore, a source of raw material was provided in sustainable building material production. Accordingly, a contribution can be made to the national economy with the building material that can be produced with local opportunities. Originality/Value With the materials and joining methods used in the study, a production was made on a unique subject.

Hbim and Thermal Performance in Historical Buildings
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Özeren, Ö.; Korumaz, Mustafa
States are making regulations with the aim of reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2050. Buildings, which are responsible for a quarter of the energy consumed in the world, are within the scope of these regulations. Generally, policies developed cover new buildings. Since buildings with heritage value have a large share in the world, especially in Europe, they should not be separated from the policies developed. Heritage buildings will be important in achieving future energy targets with energy performance improvements. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the thermal performance of buildings with heritage value. Reinforcement in heritage buildings is usually carried out in the building envelope. However, this improvement process is quite difficult. Because the improvements should be carried out by considering the heritage values. The recent use of BIM-based systems has contributed positively to this process. All interventions to be performed on the HBIM model obtained from point clouds can be calculated and evaluated in advance. In this study, parametric performance calculations were performed over the BIM-based software Revit, taking into account the type and thickness of the insulation material over the HBIM model. The study was carried out on the Traditional Turkish House located in Ermenek district of Karaman province in Turkey. According to the results of the study, it was determined that the energy efficiency increased by 33% on average. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The Importance of Iconic Buildings for City Image: Konya Science Center Example
(2018) Yıldız Kuyrukçu, Emine
Science centers are experimental and applied places that are designed to pave the way for people from all age and with different knowledge to learn the information from the source and to trigger their interest towards science. Science centers convert science into an education in an entertaining manner. Moreover, science centers can be defined as places that exhibit history and culture of the geography that are present in addition to their contribution to science, while being places where science and art are merged to each other in harmony. In recent period, scientific events may create attraction for cities in addition to cultural events, Science centers, where education is found together with entertainment, are now becoming more and more popular in the world and they can sometimes serve as an important focal point of the city by attracting more visitors from certain museums. It is seen in recent period that science centers are being designed as iconic buildings with the purpose of creating attention with their different architecture. Science centers, which are designed as iconic buildings with their interest and curious architectural designs, create a new attraction point by drawing tourists to the city along with the educational activities. The aim of this study is to reveal the opinions of the architect in the design of Konya Science Center, to analyze the relationship established by the building with the city, its scale with surrounding texture and human, the access to building, its form, material, technology and its spatial presentation to determine whether it is an iconic building or not. For this purpose, science centers’ design purpose and their importance for the city are explained firstly, then examples across the world are given. Observations and interviews are made, photographs of the building are taken and any kind of written and drawn resources are utilized in order to determine whether the selected building is in accordance with the definition “iconic building”. As a result, it is determined with this study that Konya Science Center is “an icon building” for the city in parallel with the developing trends in design and construction technology fields in general terms after its analysis in architectural terms. It is hope that Konya Science Center that is featuring icon building will be attention center for Konya city after Mevlana Museum because of owing to its different form, material selection, building and Leeds certified sustainable building.

Neighborhood From Cul-De Sac To Gated Community in Turkish Urban Culture: the “fina”
(2018) Alkan Bala, Havva
In this study, the closed neighborhood was discussed in gated communities and in cul-de-sacs by focusing on public and private concepts, rights and regulations in Turkish urban culture. The study aims to enlighten old concepts such as “close neighborhood,” “gated community,” and “cul-de-sac” with a new approach in order to understand whether planned and modern gated communities contain the same aspects of traditional Turkish cul-de-sacs – part of the “fina” concept. According to tradition and culture, the concept of fina is a kind of usage of public space as if it were private. In the modern age, gated communities have created new life styles, spaces and boundaries with their advantages and disadvantages all over the world. The gated community may be called an “architecture of fear,” namely fear of the neighbors, fear of theft, fear of the one living outside the gates. On the other hand, cul-de-sacs are derived from friendships and family relations – namely, being friends with relatives, neighbors and nature. Gated communities and cul-de-sacs are both created by making public space – belonging to all citizens – into private/semi-private space belonging to only a special community. A comparative method is used between gated communities and cul-de-sacs in order to understand whether the legalization of using public space in private ways creates benefits to society as a whole or not. The result expected from this study is not only to determine the similarities and differences pertaining to cul-de-sacs and gated communities but also to reveal the positive values generated or existing in these two living areas and provide feedback with the potential of reflecting each other.

Non-Destructive Test Investigations on the Deterioration of Roman Mausoleum in Karadag Central Anatolia, Turkey
(UNIV AGEAN, DEPT MEDITERRANEAN STUD, 2020) Tosunlar, Mehmet Bahadır; Beycan, Arife Deniz Oktaç; Korkanç, Mustafa
The Binbirkilise region has maintained its existence as an important religious and cultural center from the Hittites to the last period of the Eastern Roman Empire. There are many monuments in the region dating back to these periods. Among the region monuments, a Roman mausoleum draws attention along with its construction system and original form. This mausoleum was recently (2015) completely unearthed in the archaeological excavations carried out by the archaeologists of the Karaman Museum. Since then serious deterioration problems started to occur of atmospheric, biological and human origin. Several non destructive techniques (NDT) were applied and relevant measurements undertaken such as; temperature (ST), surface moisture (SM), Schmidt hammer rebound (SHR), and P-wave velocity (Vp) tests, 3D photogrammetry, thin sections, polarizing microscope, XRF analyses, XRD, mainly used to determine the deterioration conditions of building stones on the surface. The NDM innovative approach contributed to the understanding of the deterioration dynamics. It has been determined that a white crust formation on the parts of the monument unearthed by excavations and this crust formation affects the deterioration process of the building stones.

Optimal Energy Design and Retrofit Recommendations for the Turkish Building Sector
(COLLEGE PUBLISHING, 2021) Sayın, Selçuk; Augenbroe, Godfried
This paper introduces methodologies and optimal strategies to reduce the energy consumption of the building sector with the aim to reduce global energy usage of a given region or country. Many efforts are underway to develop investment strategies for large-scale energy retrofits and stricter energy design standards for existing and future buildings. This paper presents a study that informs these strategies in a novel way. It introduces support for the cost-optimized retrofits of existing, and design improvements of new buildings in Turkey with the aim to offer recommendations to individual building owners as well as guidance to the market. Three building types, apartment, single-family house and office are analyzed with a novel optimization approach. The energy performance of each type is simulated in five different climate regions of Turkey and four different vintages. For each vintage, the building is modelled corresponding to local Turkish regulations that applied at the time of construction. Optimum results are produced for different goals in terms of energy saving targets. The optimization results reveal that a 50% energy saving target is attainable for the retrofit and a 40% energy saving target is attainable for new design improvements for each building type in all climate regions.

Outdoor Thermal Comfort Conditions During Summer in a Cold Semi-Arid Climate. a Transversal Field Survey in Central Anatolia (turkey)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019) Canan, Fatih; Golasi, Iacopo; Ciancio, Virgilio; Coppi, Massimo; Salata, Ferdinando
In the present study the outdoor thermal comfort conditions in Konya (Central Anatolia, Turkey) were examined during summer. This is why a transversal field survey was carried out and over 300 questionnaires were filled by randomly chosen participants. Moreover, environmental variables as air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and globe temperature were constantly measured. This allowed to relate the thermal perception and preference votes given by the interviewees to the morphological and furniture characteristics of the surveyed sites. Then, taking into account at the same time all the obtained data, a regression line between the thermal perception votes and the corresponding PET (Physiological Equivalent Temperature) values was obtained and a neutral PET value of 26.8 degrees C was calculated. Based on a logistic curve model with the probit function, a preferred PET value of 19.2 degrees C was determined. On the other hand, the PET comfort range of (21.6)-(32.0) degrees C was obtained by considering, as thermal comfort interval, the range (- 0.5)-(+ 0.5) of the ASHRAE 7-point scale. Finally, two outdoor thermal comfort indexes were introduced. The first one, called Turkish Outdoor Comfort Index (FOCI), is able to predict the thermal perception of the considered population in hot conditions. In the second case, the Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) relation was modified based on the surveyed data and outdoor sites.

Outdoor Thermal Perception and Comfort Conditions in the Koppen-Geiger Climate Category Bsk. One-Year Field Survey and Measurement Campaign in Konya, Turkey
(ELSEVIER, 2020) Canan, Fatih; Golasi, Iacopo; Falasca, Serena; Salata, Ferdinando
This study presents an analysis of the thermo-hygrometric conditions in the city of Konya (Turkey). A one-year transversal field surveywas carried out in the Selcuk University campus and 2295 valid questionnaireswere collected. In each questionnaire, randomly selected interviewees provided personal information and judged their perception and thermal preference according to the ASHRAE 7-point and McIntyre scales, respectively. For each interviewee, a value of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) was calculated based on the values of operational variables obtained from the questionnaires and the environmental variablesmeasured during the survey. This allowed to calculate the seasonal preferred and neutral PETs and the annual PET comfort range. Also, the scale of the PET thermal perception was determined for the Konya population and, more generally, for the inhabitants of the BSk Koppen-Geiger climate zone. Statistical analyzes carried out in terms of Variance Inflationary Factor, multicollinearity assessment and Best Subsets Analysis led to the identification of the Turkish Outdoor Comfort Index, an empirical index able to predict the average value of the thermal perception of a large group of individuals living in the aforementioned climate zone. Moreover, the equations of the Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) were obtained for each season. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Outdoor Thermal Perception in the Semi-Arid Climate of Constantine, Algeria: a Field Survey During the Post-Covid
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Ouis, A.; Benhassine, N.; Canan, Fatih
The purpose of the paper was to assess pedestrians' thermal perception, in the semi-arid climate of Constantine, Algeria, with particular emphasis on the protocols implemented in public spaces during the post-COVID-19. Three outdoor public spaces were selected in August 2021 to conduct a field study involving 254 respondents, randomly assigned. The adopted approach combined objective and subjective assessment, as well as numerical simulations using ENVI-met. Accordingly, microclimate monitoring and a questionnaire survey were carried out simultaneously from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in each study site. A strong association was found between the combined microclimate parameters (objective variables) and thermal sensation of the surveyors with (R2 = 0.74). Besides, Kruskal-Wallis H test revealed that the subjective thermal sensation was significantly influenced (p-value <0.05) by thermal history and purpose of visit (subjective variables). Most interviewees preferred ‘move to shade’ measure as a remedial behavior to reduce their thermal discomfort. Further, a neutral temperature of 22.7 °C PET was obtained by a linear regression between the Mean Thermal Sensation Votes (MTSV) and Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), the comfort range was estimated between 18.6 °C ≤ PET≤ 26.8 °C during summer. Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic effects, the Chi-square test suggests that the frequency of pedestrian visits was statistically independent of the imposed pandemic measures. However, the planned activities were affected by social distancing and the use of face masks increases pedestrians' thermal discomfort. Overall, the study highlights the significance of environmental and non-environmental factors to improve outdoor thermal comfort, and ensure human well-being. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

A Practical Approach To Performance-Based Building Design in Architectural Project
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020) Sayın, Selçuk; Çelebi, Gülser
The aim of this study is to develop an approach that can enhance and contribute to the practical applicability of performance-based building design in architectural projects. The need for such an approach is based on the current lack of a practical application for performance-based design in architectural projects, despite the numerous studies conducted in this regard to date. The approach has been applied in a commercial building project designed by an architectural firm in Konya. The performance evaluation of the design developed in accordance with the requirements of the client/builder and the restrictions of regulations was carried out using IES VE 2014 software at a specific phase of the design process. Through this building performance simulation tool; the thermal protection of the envelope/heat loss and solar gain, thermal comfort (temperature, humidity), air quality (freshness), daylight and glare levels were evaluated for the selected spaces in the building, and following the evaluation, new design proposals were put forward to improve the design so as to meet the performance goal.
Reading on Domestic Life Before and After the Period of Turkish-Greek Population Exchange From Historical Houses: Nigde Oral Mansion Sample
(E.U. Printing And Publishing House, 2022) Acar Ata, İlknur; Başar, Mehmet Emin
After the compulsory exchange of populations between Greece and Turkey in 1923, immigrants started a new life in another country. During this process, the need for shelter was tried to be solved by placing Turkish Muslim immigrants into the exchanged Greek non-Muslims' houses. In this study, data related to the changing domestic life and space with the user before and after the exchange in a mansion in Turkey were obtained with documentation in accordance with the architectural preservation discipline. The social, cultural, economic, religious differences of the leaving Greek family and the Turkish family that moved into it, were reflected in the transforming spaces of the mansion. Oral and written historical research on the building has been supported by documenting building following the architectural conservation discipline. Data about the life of the Greeks, the first owners of the mansion, which is located in the Cappadocia region in Nigde, can be read from the functions of the places, the workmanship of the building, the quality of the materials used, the stone and woodwork decoration features. The spaces used in the mansion have changed and transformed over time in accordance with the users' religious belief, culture and economic situation of the after exchanged period. Reading and interpreting the story of a historical building containing information about the period in this way has also revealed the adaptation of human beings to sustainable life and space. Thanks to this adaptation, these historical houses with a history of more than hundred years have been preserved.

Seismic Design Considerations for Architectural Design Aspects
(2019) Korkmaz, Serra Zerrin
Architectural design decisions play an important role in the earthquake behavior of buildings. However, architects are very unfamiliar with earthquake response concept. Earthquake resistant design (ERD) initiates generally during the architectural design stage to adhere to these principles. This study was focused on plan geometries, architectural design and structural system configurations for structural earthquake responses. A general-purpose finite element program was used to evaluate several irregularities and their corresponding earthquake responses. In the first phase of the study, the projections in plan view and projection ratios were compared from a torsional response perspective. In the second phase, nonparallel axes are investigated. In the last phase, the effects of shear wall arrangement on torsional irregularity response were analysed by considering 4 different configurations in a school building failure during the recent earthquake (2011) in the city, Van located in the east of Turkey. The number of storys was chosen as a parameter for the latter phase. The mode superposition method was preferred for the linear dynamic analyses. According to the results of the study, the torsional rotation was found to be proportional to the projection ratio in plan. For non-orthogonal cases, structure with an inclined axis more than 30°, torsional irregularity factor exceeded the code-defined limit. Beneficial observations and conclusions were drawn for both architects and structural engineers’ perspective.
