Item STUDY ON THE FUNDAMENTAL PERIOD OF VIBRATION FOR BUILDINGS WITH DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS(2015-01-27) BASHAR, A. Shon; TUNÇ, GökhanThe determination of the fundamental period of vibration for a building is essential in the earthquake design field. According to the various building codes, there are limitations on this topic. In this study, only reinforced concrete buildings with various floor levels and structural configurations are investigated. As part of this investigation, a total of 105 models representing unique sets of 21 layouts is constructed using a commercially available software package, ETABS. In the seismic analysis phase the response spectrum analyses are conducted according to the Turkish Seismic Code, 2007. Not only the periods, but also the lateral deflections are evaluated in detail by using the code associated limitations outlined in the 1997 and 2007 Turkish Seismic Codes and the ASCE 7-10. The intent of this study is to understand the dynamic behaviors of buildings with different configurations under severe seismic loads. The framing type, and number of floors and in-plane aspect ratios are studied in this thesis. For this purpose, five sets of floor levels, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 stories are studied. The results are discussed and their associated effects on the existing period equations in the Turkish and American codes are studied.
