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 ... -
Implications of site specific response analysis
(Springer, 2018)Definition of design earthquake characteristics, more specifically uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum, on the ground surface is the primary component for performance based design of structures and assessment of ... -
Increasing the stability of nanofluids with cavitating flows in micro orifices
(AIP, 2016)One of the most critical challenges for nanofluids in practical applications is related to their stability and reusability since a gradual agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids occurs with time and is accelerated ... -
Influence of accelerometer type on uncertainties in recorded ground motions and seismic damage assessment
(Springer, 2022-07)Strong motion data recorded by strong-motion networks are essential for preventing and mitigating earthquake disasters, such as earthquake early warning and earthquake emergency responses, and the type of accelerometer can ... -
Influence of sensor density on seismic damage assessment: A case study for istanbul
(Seismological Society of America, 2022-08)The strong ground motions (GMs) recorded by strong motion networks are significant to increase the accuracy of seismic damage assessment. However, the influence of sensor density on seismic damage assessment remains ... -
Influence of Sporasarcina pasteurii cells on rheological properties of cement paste
(Elsevier, 2019-11-20)Nowadays with the developments in the concrete materials technology, researches started to focus on highly flowable mixes with improved rheological properties. These highly flowable mixes generally require use of viscosity ... -
Interaction of a pile with layered-soil under vertical excitations: field experiments versus numerical simulations
(Springer International Publishing, 2017-09)Data recorded during a field test involving an instrumented drilled shaft under vertical excitations are examined in order to (1) extract the soil–pile system’s dynamic impedance, and (2) to evaluate the small-strain shear ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Local site conditions and seismic risk assessment of historic buildings
(2013)The objectives of the Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project are to improve Istanbul’s preparedness for a potential earthquake. Within this framework “Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage ... -
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 ... -
Micro-a-fluidics ELISA for rapid CD4 cell count at the point-of-care
(Nature, 2014-01-22)HIV has become one of the most devastating pathogens in human history. Despite fast progress in HIV-related basic research, antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains the most effective method to save AIDS patients' lives. ... -
Microchip ELISA coupled with cell phone to detect ovarian cancer HE4 biomarker in urine
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the USA, and early diagnosis can potentially increase 5-year survival rate. Detection of biomarkers derived from hyperplasia of epithelial tissue by ... -
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 ... -
Mixed method review for integrating building information modeling and life-cycle assessments
