Investigation of the effects of using steel cross and reinforced concrete shears earthquake performance in building

Abstract

Türkiye mostly on the seismic belt and it causes serious loss of life and property. To prevent this, quake proof structures should be developed and more research should be studied. While reinforced concrete shear walls are common in earthquake resistant buildings in Türkiye, steel usage has not spread. Reinforced concrete structures, which are well-known in project design and application used frequently. Steel structures have been used typically world-wide since the old years while different and innovative methods have been developed and new studies are continuing. Within the area of research, three different system models were designed including a reinforced concrete system without shear walls, a reinforced concrete system with a shear wall on the outermost axis and a reinforced concrete system with a steel cross on the outermost axis then examined. The analyzes are modeled in the SAP2000 program which is internationally accepted and frequently used in academic studies and it will be designed according to the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBDY-2018). Modeled buildings were analyzed using the equivalent earthquake load and time history calculation method.
