Abstract


The Winkler method, which is widely used today, assumes that the soil behaves elastically and does not take into account the soil shear stress values, it is insufficient to reflect the actual soil behavior. Especially in the earthquake calculations of rigid and massive structures such as high-rise buildings, dams, suspension bridges, viaducts, it is necessary to consider soil as a dynamic system that changes shape and affects the behavior of the structure in terms of inertia. In response to the effect of soil on the structure, the structure also affects soil both kinematically and dynamically. Thus, in the absence of the structure, the earthquake data, which is only a result of the dynamic behavior of the soil in its internal structure, now acquires a more complex soil motion characteristic that is also affected by the presence of the structure. The observations made in some earthquakes show that the changes between the records taken simultaneously on the building foundation and at soil surface not a point far from foundation, show that the structure also affects soil therefore soil motion in response to the effect of the earthquake on the structure. In this study, the effect of soil types on the nonlinear seismic behavior of reinforced concrete structures was investigated. For this purpose, 7-storey building models with different plans and rigidities were created. The behavior of these models under 11 different earthquake loads for the ZA, ZB, ZC, ZD, ZE soil types specified in the Turkish Building Earthquake Code has been investigated. Analyzes were made using the time history method with the help of the SAP2000 program. As a result of the analysis, the displacements, plastic hinge formation, Effective inter-storey drift and period values obtained for different models were compared.
