A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Turkish territory—part I: the area source model
Sesetyan, K.; Demircioglu, M. B.; Duman, T. Y.; Çan, T.; Tekin, S.; Eroğlu Azak, T.; Fercan, Nazife Özge Zülfikar (Springer International Publishing, 2016)The seismic zoning map of Turkey that is used in connection with the national seismic design code (versions issued both in 1997 and 2007) is based on a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment study conducted more than 20 ... -
Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the aec industry
Seyis, Senem (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01)Although a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the ... -
Real-time earthquake shake, damage, and loss mapping for Istanbul metropolitan area
Zülfikar, A. C.; Fercan, Özge Nazife Zülfikar; Tunç, S.; Erdik, M. (Springer International Publishing, 2017)The past devastating earthquakes in densely populated urban centers, such as the 1994 Northridge; 1995 Kobe; 1999 series of Kocaeli, Düzce, and Athens; and 2011 Van-Erciş events, showed that substantial social and economic ... -
A rule-based methodology for automated progress monitoring of construction activities: A case for masonry work
Işın, Gürşans Güven; Ergen, E. (International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2019)The conventional approach that is used to monitor construction projects is to collect progress data from the construction site through visual investigation. This results in deficient and sometimes erroneous data, and leads ... -
Scheduling and simulation of maritime traffic in congested waterways: an application to the Strait of Istanbul
Özlem, Ş.; Or, İ.; Altan, Yiğit Can (Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)The aim of this study is to develop a simulation model which is capable of mimicking actual vessel arrival patterns and vessel entrance decisions (which are made based on expert opinions generally) on congested, narrow ... -
Seismic design and performance of SPSWs with beam-connected web plates
Özçelik, Ahmet Yiğit; Clayton, P. M. (Elsevier, 2018-03)Steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates (B-SPSWs) are an alternative steel plate shear wall (SPSW) configuration in which the web plate edges are detached from the columns to avoid high flexural demands in ... -
A simplified approach for site-specific design spectrum
Ansal, Mustafa Atilla; Tönük, G.; Kurtuluş, Aslı (Springer, 2018)The design acceleration spectrum requires site investigations and site-response analyses in accordance with the local seismic hazard. The variability in earthquake source and path effects may be considered using a large ... -
Site response from Istanbul vertical arrays and strong motion network
Ansal, Mustafa Atilla; Kurtuluş, Aslı; Tonuk, G. (Earthquake Engineering Research Institute ( EERI ), 2014)In the framework of Istanbul Microzonation Project for the European side, the investigated region was divided by a grid system of 250m×250m and site investigations were performed for each cell based on borings and in-situ ... -
Site specific response analysis for performance based design earthquake characteristics
Tönük, G.; Ansal, Mustafa Atilla; Kurtuluş, Aslı; Çetiner, B. (Springer Science+Business Media, 2014-06)During strong earthquakes, seismic waves travelling towards the ground surface alter the engineering characteristics of the soil layers and consequently the characteristics of travelling seismic waves also change with ... -

Strip model for steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates
Özçelik, Ahmet Yiğit; Clayton, P. (National Technical University of Athens, 2019)Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are a lateral force-resisting system in which thin infill plates (web plates) are connected to the boundary frame (i.e., beams and columns) along four edges. Despite shear buckling of thin ... -
Uncertainty in risk of highway bridges assessed for integrated seismic and flood hazards
Yılmaz, Taner; Banerjee, S.; Johnson, P. A.
