Based on the limitations of traditional procurement, this study uses analytical network
process (ANP) for contractor selection. Using extensive literature review, best value (BV) …

Force-based design (FBD) method has been practiced for a long time which focuses on the
seismic force over the structure. Problems associated with FBD are assumed stiffness of …

This study aims to compare pushover and nonlinear time history analyses for existing low-
and mid-rise RC buildings to better understand the applicability limits, advantages and …

Earthquakes' effects on the ground especially to superstructures vary depending on the local
site conditions. As the seismic waves move towards the surface, the dynamic behavior is …

Base-isolated building structures prove highly effective in seismic events, particularly when
designed using direct displacement-based methods. This design approach ensures that the …

The basic purpose of this paper is to investigate and propose a novel inter-story drift limits
for the current Turkish Seismic Code to get easy structural assessment by using software …

Structures exposed to the most destructive effects against seismic forces are constructions
where irregularities are present. In this study, torsional irregularities were investigated by …

This paper treats the vibration characteristics of three different types of asymmetric buildings
and investigates the feasibility of applying an innovative vibration‐based multicriteria …

Since they offer many alternatives for shopping, eating, resting, etc. many people spend a
considerable time in shopping mall buildings. Therefore, this type of building is increasing …

Reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames are the most common form among the building
type structures in Turkey. The contemporary seismic design of building type structures …
