Factors affecting site-specific response analysis
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)AbstractThe engineering purpose of a site-specific response analysis is to estimate the uniform hazard acceleration spectrum on the ground surface for a selected hazard level. One of the mandatory components for site ... -
Predicting the risky encounters without distance knowledge between the ships via machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2023-07-01)As the maritime traffic is getting denser, the number of encounters is increasing. The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model to classify encounters as risky or non-risky when two ships encounter in a certain ... -
Calcium sulfoaluminate cement and supplementary cementitious materials-containing binders in self-healing systems
(Elsevier, 2023-08)Creation of more durable concrete is one pathway to achieving improved sustainability and carbon footprint over a concrete structure's life. Microbially induced calcite precipitation has been shown to densify concrete ... -
Simulation of vehicles’ gap acceptance decision at unsignalized intersections using SUMO
(Elsevier, 2022)In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based gap acceptance behavior model was proposed. The feasibility of implementing this model in a microscopic simulation tool was tested using the application programming ... -
Rateworkspace: BIM integrated post-occupancy evaluation system for office buildings
(International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2022-04)The feedback obtained from occupants regarding their comfort needs and performance of buildings is critical for assessing occupant satisfaction, identifying the operation and maintenance (O&M) issues in time and for improving ... -
Assembly-based flood repair cost and time models for industrial buildings in Turkey
(Elsevier, 2023-10)Flooding is one of the most frequent hazard events significantly affecting the industry in Turkey, leading to severe economic losses and business disruptions. To predict the direct flood losses and business downtimes on ... -
A simplified guide on BIM integration to mitigate facilities management risks of modular construction projects
(Springer, 2022)Building Information Modelling (BIM) has been upscaling throughout the years being highly interoperable. In modular construction, projects have limited scope for alterations at later stages because of exorbitant costs. It ... -
