For proffer the authorization standard of act on facilitation reconstruction deteriorated RC condominium buildings, studied evaluation methods and criteria about buildings having risk falling cover concrete caused by rebar corrosion that exist in a wide. The approach is integrating deterioration grade member visual examination. Through trial case study used real aging suggested could estimate o...

the current study focuses on the experimental investigation of frp strengthening of rc portal frame subjected to combined vertical and horizontal loads. the main target of this research is to enhance the proposed structural properties that the rc portal frame had before the seismic occurrences by providing retrofitting of both columns and joints with more deformation capacity. the effect of var...

The inelastic response of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings without seismic details is investigated, presenting the results from more than 1000 nonlinear analyses. The seismic performance is investigated for two buildings, a typical building form of the 60s and a typical form of the 80s. Both structures are designed according to the old Greek codes. These building forms are typical fo...

The Republic of Turkey was established in 1923 out the remains Ottoman Empire. Between and 1938, Turkish republic underwent fifteen years rapid expansion growth, with Ankara as its new capital Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938) first president. During this period, reinforced concrete (RC) played a significant role construction Ankara’s public-use buildings. This study focuses on 57 these structu...

Cylindrical concrete cores of 10 cm diameter and height were taken from the columns and shear walls of randomly chosen 5-40 years old reinforced concrete (RC) buildings located in different towns of Istanbul and Izmit (Kocaeli) in Turkey from 2000 to date. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) measurements and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on 200 concrete core specimens...
