Biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials: investigating the temporal evolution of microbial metabolic state and material porosity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The potential for self-healing of concrete via biomineralization processes in which microorganisms influence mineral precipitation is promising. To embed microorganisms within a cement-based material, key challenges are ... -
Biomineralized cement-based materials: impact of inoculating vegetative bacterial cells on hydration and strength
(Elsevier, 2015-01)Biomineralization in cement-based materials has become a point of interest in recent years due to the possibility that such an approach could be used to develop a self-healing cement-based system. The objective of this ... -
Blind identification of site effects and bedrock motion from surface response signals
(Elsevier, 2018-04)A method for blind identification of site effects from two nearby ground surface response signals is presented. The proposed approach makes use of ground surface accelerations from two nearby stations to back-calculate the ... -
Case study for comparative analysis of BIM-based LEED building and nonLEED building
(Pamukkale Üniversitesi, 2022)The objective of this study is to design a sustainable high-rise residential building using Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), and perform comparative analysis for ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
