Community resilience-focused technical investigation of the 2016 Lumberton, North Carolina, flood: An interdisciplinary approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2020-08-01)In early October 2016, Hurricane Matthew crossed North Carolina as a Category 1 storm, with some areas receiving 0.38-0.46 m (15-18 in.) of rainfall on already saturated soil. The NIST-funded Center for Risk-Based Community ... -
A comparative evaluation of sepiolite and nano-montmorillonite on the rheology of cementitious materials for 3D printing
(Elsevier, 2022-10-03)Through the last decade, methods of digital manufacturing of concrete gained a significant interest compared to conventional concrete. The main challenge in additive manufacturing (3D printing) is to design a highly ... -
Comparison of blast analysis methods for modular steel structures
(Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, 2018-03)Two blast analysis methods widely used are three-dimensional finite element (FE) and uncoupled equivalent single degree of freedom (ESDOF) methods. The uncoupled equivalent ESDOF method, which is the most common blast ... -
A comparison study between 1D and 2D site response analyses based on observed earthquake acceleration records
(Springer, 2023)The objective of the present work is to evaluate the necessity of 2D site response analysis based on the comparison among the peak ground and spectral accelerations recorded by Istanbul Rapid Response Network and Istanbul ... -
A comparison study between 1D and 3D site response analyses based on observed earthquake acceleration records…
(National Technical University of Athens, 2023)The characteristics of the site conditions have a very significant influence on the variation of building damage during earthquakes, thus, it is essential to evaluate and analyse the effects of site conditions. One option ... -
Composite cold-formed steel rubberised concrete building framed systems
(Avestia Publishing, 2022)In this research, with the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections in-filled with rubberized concrete (RuC), a new low-carbon construction system is developed and assessed for its structural resilience and environmental ... -
A computational workflow for rupture‐to‐structural‐response simulation and its application to Istanbul
(Wiley, 2020-10)Scenario-based earthquake simulations at regional scales hold the promise in advancing the state-of-the-art in seismic risk assessment studies. In this study, a computational workflow is presented that combines (i) a ... -
A cost-benefit analysis of sensor quality and spatial density for rapid regional post-event seismic damage assessment: Application to Istanbul
(Elsevier, 2022-12)A quantitative evaluation of the influence of sensor quality and spatial density on the results of rapid regional seismic damage evaluations of buildings can provide an important reference for the deployment of a strong-motion ... -
Crack remediation in mortar via biomineralization: effects of chemical admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate
(Elsevier, 2018-11-30)Limited research on biomineralization in cement-based systems suggested that self-healing of surface cracks could be obtained by triggering biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation within the cracks. While this is ... -
Çimento-esaslı harçlarda kendiliğinden iyileşmenin sağlanması için 2 bileşenli biyolojik katkı maddesinin geliştirilmesi
(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2021)Purpose: Throughout the literature, studies showed that among several alternatives such as diatomaceous earth (DE), metakaolin, zeolites and expanded clay could be suitable for protection of the bacteria based on their ... -
Design method for quantifying embankment safety against lateral spreading and determining contribution of basal reinforcements
(Elsevier, 2020-06)This study proposes an analytical method for the calculation of the safety factor against lateral spreading in embankments, both for cases with and without basal reinforcement. Hence, a new limit equilibrium approach is ... -
Design of energy-efficient white portland cement mortars for digital fabrication
(Springer, 2020)Additive manufacturing, i.e. three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has many advantages over traditional processes and the related technology is continuously improving. This study aims to develop an energy- efficient ... -
Designing façade and envelope for a high-rise residential building using energy-efficient materials: A case in Istanbul, Turkey
(IOP Publishing, 2022)The construction industry is responsible for 40% of global energy demand as buildings increase heating, cooling, and lighting demand. Therefore, building energy performance has become one of the most significant subjects ... -
Designing redundant cable-driven parallel robots for additive manufacturing using end-effector compliance index
(IEEE, 2023)This paper presents a methodology for optimizing cable anchor points for cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) for specific additive manufacturing tasks. Much of a CDPR's workspace is generally not used for printing tasks. ... -

Editorial and welcome to a new ERA
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-01)With this first issue of Volume 13 (2015), while we are celebrating our 12th anniversary, we will be implementing some major changes for BEE. We are going to start publishing on a monthly basis with 12 issues per year and ... -
Effect of flexural demands in the leaner columns on the column buckling strength
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2018)Leaner columns of steel frames are typically designed for axial load only and they are assumed not to contribute to the lateral stiffness of the system; however, a recent study revealed that under seismic loading leaner ...
