Abstract
From past to present, building designs and materials used are developing. Especially against the destructive effects of ground movements and free vibrations on structures, many structural system designs and composite structure designs have been developed. The purpose of the composite structure design is to choose different types of materials according to the structural load-bearing system stress, in short, to choose the most advantageous material type according to the cross-sectional stresses or to eliminate the negative aspects of one material with the positive aspects of another material. It is a known fact that the dynamic performance of steel structure carrier systems is high under the influence of ground movements and free vibrations. However, in cases where the section geometry cannot be changed due to architectural concerns due to architectural design difficulties, there are cases where the rigidity of the structure is not sufficient. In such cases, profiles made of different materials other than steel can be used in order to increase the rigidity of the structure, especially in the columns, which are a very important component of the structural load-bearing elements. Therefore, in this study, the effect of using molybdenum profile instead of steel profile on modal parameters in model steel structure columns was investigated. In the light of the information obtained, a decrease of approximately 23.72 percent was observed in the period value in the 1st free vibration mode of the steel-molybdenum structure model. Thus, it is understood that the rigidity of the model steel structure system increases. In cases where it is not possible to change the architectural design in steel structures, it is recommended to use column profiles as molybdenum profiles instead of steel profiles in order to provide the necessary rigidity and increase rigidity.
