Özet

In our country for residential, car park and business purposes, in order to be able to use the buildings the basement and ground floors of the buildings as open. The use of basement and ground floors for this purpose causes the soft floor effect to occur. In this study, a total of eight four-story steel structures with or without isolation formed by central or eccentric braced are considered. The ground floor of these structures is not formed with central or eccentric steel braced and is designed as a soft floor. Excessive shear force, bending moment and lateral displacement are expected in the columns of the floors that have soft story effect during the earthquake of the investigated structures. In soft floor columns, two types of passive isolation systems are used, namely the friction pendulum isolation system or the lead-based rubber system passive base isolation system, in order to reduce these effects and to use these floors for parking or workplace purposes. In this study, isolation systems were placed between the foundation and the structure to transmit seismic effects to the building during an earthquake and to increase the natural dominant period of the building. Firstly, non-linear analysis in the time domain of non-isolation structures with soft-fold effect was performed. Later, nonlinear analyzes in the time domain of the structures with floor insulated soft story effects were made. A series of results was obtained by comparing the analyzes made. According to the analysis results, it has been observed that both isolation systems reduce the shear forces, lateral displacements and bending moments occurring in the columns of the floor that has a soft floor effect. However, it has been achieved that in the friction pendulum isolation system, it can absorb the energy from the earthquake more than the lead-based rubber system isolation system. In the steel structure formed as an eccentric braced, the soft floor effect is less prominent than the steel structure formed as a central braced. Since the tie beams formed by the eccentric steel braces can meet the earthquake effects, it has been proposed to create a steel structure system with an eccentric braced in structures with soft story effect. In addition, the use of passive insulation systems and cross members together will limit the possible soft story effect on the steel structure.
