Determination of the effect of fiber reinforced polymers composite material on experimental and analytic methods of reinforced concrete buildings of dynamic behaviors

In thesis, the effect of fiber reinforced polymer material on the dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings is determined by experimental and analytical methods. For this purpose, analytical and experimental studies have been carried out on reinforced concrete plane frame built in the laboratory conditions. The master thesis work consist of three chapters. The first chapter is the general information section, general information about the dynamic behavior of engineering structures, finite elements and experimental modal analysis methods and formulations of these methods are presented in this section. In the second chapter; are given made works and the findings obtained from these studies. The works carried out in the second chapter is divided into two parts. In the first part, the dynamic behavior of the laboratory model for undamaged, damaged, repaired and strengthened states was determined by experimental modal analysis method and examined comparatively. In the second part; the finite element model of the reinforced concrete plane frame is established for the same conditions and the dynamic behavior is determined analytically, the finite element models are updated according to the experimental results. In addition, dynamic behaviors are obtained for these four states of the updating finite element models of buildings and the initial finite element model. In the third chapter; the results obtained from the thesis study and suggestions are given. Lastly, references and autobiography are represented.
