Comparative Dynamic Seismic Analyses of RC Minarets Strengthened with FRP and Buttresses

Abstract

In recent earthquakes occurred in Turkey, an unexpected number of reinforced concrete (RC) minarets were heavily damaged or collapsed causing loss of lives and economic damages. These structures can be counted as the most common constructed slender structures in Turkey. Therefore, the detailed behavior of these slender structures should be determined in order to strengthen the existing ones and construct safer and stronger RC minarets. In this study, the most common constructed types of RC minarets were analyzed under 17 August 1999 Mw 7.4 Kocaeli Earthquake for the determination of the effectiveness of strengthening techniques namely fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) and buttresses. Also, soil-structure interaction (SSI) is included in the dynamic seismic analyses of the minarets as proposed by Burman et al. (2012). At the end of the analyses performed, it was determined that FRP strengthening is more effective in enhancing the seismic response of RC minarets as the height of the minaret increases when compared with the buttress strengthening. Also, the stress demand locations predicted from the dynamic seismic analyses of the representative minarets were found to be consistent with the damages observed in recent earthquakes.

Payanda ve FRP ile Güçlendirilmiş Betonarme Minarelerin Karşılaştırmalı Sismik Analizi

Abstract

Türkiye'de son zamanlarda meydana gelen depremlerde, beklenmeyen sayıda betonarme minare, can ve ekonomi kaybına neden olarak ağır hasar görmüş veya tamamen yıkılmıştır. Bu yapılar, Türkiye'deki en yaygın inşa edilmiş narin yapılar olarak sayılabilir. Bu nedenle, bu narin yapıların ayrıntılı davranışı, mevcut yapıların güçlendirilmesi ve daha güvenli ve güçlü betonarme minarelerin inşa edilmesi için belirlenmelidir. Bu çalışmada, en yaygın inşa edilmiş betonarme minare tipleri, 17 Ağustos 1999 M_w 7.4 Kocaeli Depremi etkisi altında, güçlendirme tekniklerinin, yani lifli polimerlerin (LP) ve payandaların etkinliğinin tespiti için analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, Burman vd. (2012) tarafından önerilen zemin-yapı etkileşimi, minarelerin dinamik sismik analizlerine dahil edilmiştir. Yapılan analizlerin sonunda, LP güçlendirmesinin, yükseklik artışı oldukça payanda takviyesiyle güçlendirmeye kıyasla betonarme minarelerin sismik davranışında daha etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, temsili minarelerin dinamik sismik analizlerinden tahmin edilen gerilme talep bölgelerinin son depremlerde gözlemlenen hasarlarla tutarlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
