Özet

The major earthquake’s and the field research has shown that take place in Turkey's earthquake. Structures in Turkey are necessary to be able to stand without collapsing in a major earthquake may face in the future. Earthquake effects can be met by providing permanent deformation of the structures and by increasing the lateral rigidity and damping rate of the structures. The aim of this study is to reduce unwanted permanent deformations by placing infill walls without causing an irregularity in the structure, and to meet the effects of earthquakes by increasing the lateral stiffness and damping ratio of the structure. It is anticipated that the first elements to receive damage during an earthquake are the infill walls and thus the infill walls can permanently change shape and meet the effects of earthquakes. One of the aims of the study is that the beams are damaged significantly after the infill walls have completely collapsed and the columns remain in the linear elastic region. In this context, a series of results have been obtained by making nonlinear analyzes on the structure with a finite element model that can fully reflect the property of infill walls. It was observed that two of the bearing elements of the structure used in the study were in advanced damage level. However, the presence of the infill walls in the building immediately reduced these two heavily damaged elements to the level of use. It was observed that the infill walls were the first damaged element and then the beams were damaged during the earthquake. As a result, it has been suggested that infill walls should be taken into account in the design or performance analysis of structural systems.
