Impact of air entraining admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation and bacterial viability
(Elsevier, 2017)The applications of self-healing in cement-based materials via biomineralization processes are developing quickly. The main challenge is to find a microorganism that can tolerate the restricted environment of cement paste ... -
Impact of neighbouring deep excavation on high-rise sun plaza building and its surrounding
(Elsevier, 2020-04)A deep excavation was carried out at the border of 38-story Sun Plaza Tower in Istanbul with a shoring that made use of temporary anchorages. However, building construction license was cancelled due to later detected legal ... -
Impact spectrum of flood hazard on seismic vulnerability of bridges
(Techno-Press, 2018-05-25)Multiple hazards (multihazard) conditions may cause significant risk to structures that are originally designed for individual hazard scenarios. Such a multihazard condition arises when an earthquake strikes to a bridge ... -
Implementing artificial neural network-based gap acceptance models in the simulation model of a traffic circle in SUMO
(Sage, 2023-12)The impact of various operational and design alternatives at roundabouts and traffic circles can be evaluated using microscopic simulation tools. Most microscopic simulation software utilizes default underlying models for ... -
