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 ... -
Bio-derived rheology modifying agents for cement-based materials
(Springer, 2020)In recent few years, significant development has been made in concrete technology to accommodate the requirements of high-performance concrete. Rheology Modifying Agents (RMAs) (such as superplasticizers) and Viscosity ... -
BIM-based automated safety review for fall prevention
(Springer, 2020)The construction industry is globally known as one of the most hazardous industries. Safety in construction is affected by many factors such as the behavior of workers, site conditions, the design and the implementation ... -
Mapping the scientific research of the life cycle assessment in the construction industry: A scientometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-10-15)The interest toward the life cycle assessment studies in the construction industry has been increasing in the last decades. However, there is no existing study that focuses on mapping the scientific research of the LCAs ... -
Investigation of the extent of field data required for reliable calibration and validation of large scale traffic simulation models: A case study
(IEEE, 2020-09-20)Availability, accuracy and relevance of field data are essential for developing a reliable simulation model. Large scale simulation models in particular require data from many sources and in great detail. Considering the ... -
Effects of oil contamination and bioremediation on geotechnical properties of highly plastic clayey soil
(Elsevier, 2021-06)Leakage of oil and its derivatives into the soil can change the engineering behavior of soil as well as cause environmental disasters. Also, recovering the contaminated sites into their natural condition and making ... -
Effects of unbonded steel layout on seismic behavior of post-tensioned precast concrete shear walls
(Springer Nature, 2020-10)Unbonded post-tensioned precast connections have been studied widely in various applications and shown to be promising seismic resisting systems with superior seismic performance including exceptional self-centering ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
End-of-life materials used as supplementary cementitious materials in the concrete industry
(MDPI, 2020-04)A sustainable solution for the global construction industry can be partial substitution of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) by use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) sourced from industrial end-of-life (EOL) ... -
The effect of triaxiality on finite element deletion strategies for simulating collapse of full-scale steel structures
(Elsevier, 2020-05-01)Collapse prediction of steel structures should incorporate a finite element model that accounts for ductile fracture through material separation in critical structural members. Finite element deletion approaches have been ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Flood performance and dislocation assessment for Lumberton homes after Hurricane Matthew
(Seoul National University, 2019-05-26)In order to better understand community resilience following a disaster, a multidisciplinary research team from the Center of Excellence (CoE) for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning and the National Institute of ... -
An investigation of the effects of surface topography on the seismic structural demands for a region of istanbul
(CRC Press, 2019)In this study, we provide preliminary results from an ongoing study—funded by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, TUBITAK—investigating the effects of site-specific surface topography and soil ... -
Strip model for steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates
(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 ... -
Microzonation with respect to ground shaking intensity
(CRC Press, 2019)Seismic microzonation is conducted to assess the seismic hazard on the ground surface with respect to ground shaking intensity. A probabilistic seismic hazard study is conducted to define earthquake characteristics on the ... -
Numerical modeling of the offshore wind turbine monopile foundation under environmental loading
(CRC Press, 2019)Prediction of dynamic performance of an offshore wind turbine requires consideration of many different design parameters. Beside the superstructure, foundation also plays an important role both functionally and financially ... -
