Risky maritime encounter patterns via clustering
(MDPI, 2023-04-28)The volume of maritime traffic is increasing with the growing global trade demand. The effect of volume growth is especially observed in narrow and congested waterways as an increase in the ship-ship encounters, which can ... -
A rule-based methodology for automated progress monitoring of construction activities: A case for masonry work
(International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2019)The conventional approach that is used to monitor construction projects is to collect progress data from the construction site through visual investigation. This results in deficient and sometimes erroneous data, and leads ... -
Safety performance functions for Two-Lane urban arterial segments
(Elsevier, 2023-11)This paper presents the calibration and development process of the safety performance function for the undivided two-lane urban and suburban arterial segments in New Jersey. Data requirements, the availability of required ... -
Scheduling and simulation of maritime traffic in congested waterways: an application to the Strait of Istanbul
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)The aim of this study is to develop a simulation model which is capable of mimicking actual vessel arrival patterns and vessel entrance decisions (which are made based on expert opinions generally) on congested, narrow ... -
Science mapping the knowledge domain of energy performance research in the AEC industry: A scientometric analysis
(Elsevier, 2023-02-01)This study aims to reveal the current state of energy performance research in the AEC industry and literature. The research objective is to identify hot topics (i.e., knowledge domain) and hot keywords (i.e., knowledge ... -
Seismic design and performance of SPSWs with beam-connected web plates
(Elsevier, 2018-03)Steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates (B-SPSWs) are an alternative steel plate shear wall (SPSW) configuration in which the web plate edges are detached from the columns to avoid high flexural demands in ... -
Seismic performance assessment of concentrically braced steel frames designed to the Turkish Building Earthquake Code 2018
(Elsevier, 2022-06)The Turkish Building Earthquake Code 2018 (TBEC 2018) came into force in 2019 and superseded the previous code, the Turkish Earthquake Code 2007 (TEC 2007). Compared to TEC 2007, TBEC 2018 includes new design approaches ... -
Site response analysis in performance based approach
(Elsevier, 2024-03)A performance based approach for site response analysis requires a probabilistic approach accounting for the observed variability in soil stratification and engineering properties of the soil layers. The major variability ... -
Site specific response analysis for performance based design earthquake characteristics
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014-06)During strong earthquakes, seismic waves travelling towards the ground surface alter the engineering characteristics of the soil layers and consequently the characteristics of travelling seismic waves also change with ... -
Soil liquefaction-induced uplift of buried pipes in sand-granulated-rubber mixture: Numerical modeling
(Elsevier, 2022-03)The significant uplift of buried pipes observed during recent earthquakes has showed the need for further research in remediation methods for soil liquefaction. Sand-granulated rubber mixture is reported as a new soil ... -
A suite of broadband physics-based ground motion simulations for the Istanbul region
(Wiley, 2023-04)Physics-based earthquake ground motion simulations (GMS) have acquired significant growth over the last two decades, mainly due to the explosive developments of high-performance computing techniques and resources. These ... -
Tracking major resources for automated progress monitoring of construction activities: masonry work case
(Emerald, 2021-10-21)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to monitor the progress of construction activities in an automated way by using sensor-based technologies for tracking multiple resources that are used in building construction. ... -
Uncertainty in risk of highway bridges assessed for integrated seismic and flood hazards
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-11-24)Probabilistic risk assessment for bridges under natural hazards is of great interest to engineers for the development of risk mitigation strategies and implementation plans. The present study evaluates risk of an existing ... -
Use of biomineralisation in developing smart concrete inspired by nature
(Inderscience, 2015)Recently, interest has focused on leveraging the biological functions of microorganisms to develop smart cement-based materials. This paper provides an overview of the calcium carbonate biomineralisation process in nature ... -
Use of corn-steep liquor as an alternative carbon source for biomineralization in cement-based materials and its impact on performance
(Elsevier, 2018-03-20)Early age microcracks are generally the primary cause for a decrease in service life of cement-based structures. Recent studies suggested that it might be possible to develop a smart cement-based material that could self-heal ... -
Use of natural minerals to immobilize bacterial cells for remediating cracks in cement-based materials
(ASCE, 2022-03-01)Cracks in cement-based materials are one of the main factors affecting the durability of structure. Recent research in the field of concrete materials showed that self-healing in cement-based systems can be achieved by ... -
Use of pre-wetted lightweight fine expanded shale aggregates as internal nutrient reservoirs for microorganisms in bio-mineralized mortar
(Elsevier, 2017-11)Interest in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials has gained broader attention in the concrete community. One of challenges in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials is that cell death ... -
Velocity pulse effects of near-fault earthquakes on a high-speed railway vehicle-ballastless track-benchmark bridge system
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-09-02)The near fault (NF) line waves send out signal envelopes that oscillate over lengthy periods of time with periodic impulses. Like train bridges, train tracks demonstrate comparable track-bridge (TB) motion dynamics. Using ...
