Assessment and code considerations for the combined effect of seismic base-isolation and viscoelastic dampers

Erkal, Aykut ; Tezcan, Semih S. ; Laefer, Debra F. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011)

To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
Investigation of the Rail-Induced Vibrations on a Masonry Historical Building

Erkal, Aykut ; Laefer, Debra F. ; Fanning, Paul ; Durukal, Eser ; Hancilar, Ufuk ; Kaya, Yavuz (Trans Tech Publications, 2010-10)

Increasingly historic masonry buildings are subjected to higher levels of traffic and rail vibrations due to urbanization and population growth. Deterioration and destabilisation of these buildings may result, especially ...
Manufacturing, assembly, and testing of scaled, historic masonry for one-gravity, pseudo-static, soil-structure experiments

Laefer, Debra F. ; Long, James H. ; Cording, Edward J. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Truong Hong, Linh (Elsevier, 2011-12)

In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
Theoretical solutions for strength-scaled unreinforced masonry for scaled soil-structure experimentation

Laefer, Debra F. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Cording, Edward J. ; Long, James H. ; Truong Hong, Linh (ASTM International, 2010-07)

Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
