Abstract

In field studies conducted to examine the causes of destruction and advanced damage after earthquakes, it has been revealed that one of the main sources of destruction in buildings in all other major earthquakes is the plain (unribbed) reinforcements placed in the reinforced concrete elements in the wrong diameter and number. This situation in the reinforcements affected the concrete strength negatively and caused many structures to collapse or to receive heavy damage. For this purpose, the change caused by the reinforcement in the seismic ultrasonic velocities of the low strength reinforced and unreinforced specimens with different strength properties was examined. In this context, seismic ultrasonic longitudinal-P and transverse-S wave measurements were taken and the results were compared with each other. Then, strength values were determined by applying uniaxial compression test and compared with the results obtained from the seismic ultrasonic velocities. Accordingly, in low-strength concretes, as the reinforcement diameter increases, the concrete strength increases, but the seismic ultrasonic P and S wave velocities decrease due to the decrease in the contact surface between the concrete and the reinforcement.

Özet

Depremlerden sonra meydana gelen yıkım ve ileri derece hasarların nedenlerini incelemek için yapılan saha çalışmalarında, binalardaki yıkımın asıl kaynaklarından birinin betonarme elemanlara yanlış çap ve sayıda yerleştirilen düz (nervürsüz) donatılar olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Donatılardaki bu durum beton dayanımını olumsuz yönde etkileyerek çok sayıda yapının yıkılmasına veya ağır hasar almasına sebep olmuştur. Bu amaçla farklı mukavemet özellikleri gösteren düşük dayanımlı donatılı ve donatısız numunelerde, donatının sismik ultrasonik hızlarda neden olduğu değişim irdelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, sismik ultrasonik boyuna-P ve enine-S dalga ölçüleri alınarak sonuçlar birbirleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Daha sonra tek eksenli basınç deneyinin uygulanmasıyla dayanım değerleri belirlenerek sismik ultrasonik hızlardan elde edilen sonuçlarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Buna göre, düşük dayanımlı betonlarda donatı çapı arttıkça beton dayanımında artış, ancak beton ile donatı arasındaki temas yüzeyinin azalmasına bağlı olarak sismik ultrasonik P ve S dalga hızlarında azalma gözlenmiştir.
