VİSKOZ SÖNÜMLEYİCİ DUVAR TİP VE ADEDİNİN YAPISAL DAVRANIŞ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİLERİ

Öz

Sismik talepleri azaltma kapasiteleriyle karakterize edilen enerji sönümleyici ekipmanlar, binaların yapısal korunması için etkili ve yenilikçi çözümler olarak yaygın bir şekilde uygulanmaktadır. Viskoz Sönümleyici Duvarlar (VWD) da, özellikle yüksek katlı betonarme binaların tasarımında ve mevcut yapıların mimari estetiği bozmadan güçlendirilmesinde önemli avantajlar sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, farklı tip ve miktarlarda VWD kullanımının, betonarme binaların dinamik performansı üzerindeki etkinliğini incelemektedir. VWD’lerin yapı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek amacıyla genişlik, kanat ve miktar parametrelerinin kombinasyonlarından oluşan 12 model üretilmiştir. 10 katlı betonarme bir bina, TBDY 2018 ile uyumlu ölçeklendirilmiş 11 yer hareketi altında doğrusal olmayan zaman tanım alanında analiz metodolojisi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Katlar arası öteleme oranı, yer değiştirme, kat ivmesi, kat kesme kuvveti ve sönüm gibi parametreler karşılaştırılmıştır. VWD'lerin deplasman ve kuvvet talepleri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, VWD tipi ve miktarının enerji dengeleri üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, sönümleyici sayısındaki artışın katlar arası ötelemeleri sınırlamada etkili olduğu, ancak %50'yi aşan ilave sönüm oranlarının kat ivmelerinde artışa yol açtığı belirlenmiştir.

THE EFFECTS OF VISCOUS WALL DAMPER TYPE AND QUANTITY ON STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR

Öz

Energy dissipation devices, characterized by their capacity to reduce seismic demands, are widely implemented as effective and innovative solutions for the structural protection of buildings. Viscous Wall Dampers (VWD) also provide significant advantages, particularly in the design of high-rise reinforced concrete buildings and the retrofitting of existing structures without compromising architectural aesthetics. This study investigates the effectiveness of using different types and quantities of VWDs on the dynamic performance of a reinforced concrete building. Twelve models were generated based on combinations of width, wing, and quantity parameters to evaluate the performance of the VWD. A 10-story reinforced concrete building was analyzed using nonlinear time history analysis methodology under 11 scaled ground motions compliant with TBEC 2018. Parameters such as inter story drift ratio, displacement, story acceleration, story shear force, and damping were compared. Displacement and force demands of the VWDs were calculated. Furthermore, the effect of VWD type and quantity on energy balances was examined. As a result of the analyses, it was found that the increase in the number of dampers was effective in limiting inter story drifts, but supplemental damping ratios exceeding 50% led to increases in story accelerations.
