Tasarım ve Malzeme Parametrelerinin Betonarme Sargılama Performansına Etkisi: Sayısal Bir Yaklaşım

Abstract

Depremlerin betonarme yapılar üzerinde oluşturduğu hasar ve yıkımlar, mevcut yapı stokunun deprem performanslarının öngörülen düzeyde olmadığını göstermektedir. Mevcut yapı stoku için alınabilecek önlemlerden biri de yapıların güçlendirilmesidir. Deprem performansı yetersiz betonarme yapıların hedeflenen sismik performans düzeyine çıkarılması amacıyla farklı güçlendirme yöntemleri kullanılabilmektedir. Betonarme sargılama, yetersiz taşıma gücüne veya sünekliğe sahip betonarme elemanların güçlendirilmesinde tercih edilen yöntemlerden biridir. Ancak sargılama uygulamasının etkinliği, mevcut ve yeni beton tabakaları arasındaki bileşik davranışı kontrol eden çeşitli tasarım ve malzeme parametrelerine önemli ölçüde bağlıdır. Bu çalışmada, sargılama sistemlerinin yapısal performansı üzerindeki temel parametrelerin; sargı kalınlığı, beton dayanım sınıfı ve enine donatı aralığı etkilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla ayrıntılı bir sayısal inceleme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, bu parametrelerin özellikle betonarme kolonların kesme kuvveti kapasitelerine etkisini ortaya koymaya odaklanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, kolonlarda farklı düzeylerde hasarlara neden olan en kritik iki faktör olan düşük dayanımlı beton ve yetersiz enine donatı aralığı dikkate alınarak üç katlı bir referans bina modeli oluşturulmuştur. Herhangi bir düzensizlik içermeyen orta yükseklikteki bu yapı için statik itme analizi kullanılmıştır. Referans yapı modeli için kesme kuvveti kapasitesi aşılan kolonlar dikkate alınarak betonarme sargılama uygulanmış ve yapısal analizler yeniden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her bir parametre için farklı değişkenler dikkate alınarak elde edilen sonuçlar, betonarme sargılamada bu parametrelerin kritik bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır.

Effect of Design and Material Parameters on the Performance of Reinforced Concrete Jacketing: A Numerical Approach

Abstract

The damage and collapse observed in reinforced concrete (RC) structures during earthquakes have shown that the seismic performance of the existing building stock is below expectations. One of the most effective measures for the existing building stock is structural strengthening. Various retrofitting methods can be employed to enhance the seismic performance of RC buildings that do not meet the targeted performance levels. Among these methods, RC jacketing is commonly used for strengthening structural members with insufficient load-carrying capacity or ductility. However, the effectiveness of jacketing applications largely depends on several design and material parameters that govern the composite behavior between the existing and newly added concrete layers. In this study, a detailed numerical investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of key parameters, such as jacket thickness, concrete strength class, and transverse reinforcement spacing, on the structural performance of jacketing systems. The study specifically focused on the influence of these parameters on the shear capacity of RC columns. For this purpose, a three-story reference building model was developed considering two critical factors that often cause severe damage in columns: low-strength concrete and insufficient transverse reinforcement spacing. A pushover analysis was conducted for this regular, mid-rise structure. RC jacketing was applied to the columns that exceeded their shear capacity in the reference model, and structural analyses were repeated. The results obtained for different parameter variations revealed that these parameters play a crucial role in the effectiveness of RC jacketing.
