Development of composite cold-formed steel-rubberised concrete semi-rigid moment-resisting connections
(Elsevier, 2022-06)This paper presents the development of a composite cold-formed steel (CFS)-rubberised concrete (RuC) semi-rigid moment-resisting connection suitable for framed building structures. The connection comprises built-up tubular ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Energy-based sidesway collapse fragilities for ductile structural frames under earthquake loadings
(Elsevier, 2018-11)In assessing the likelihood of structural collapse under strong earthquake motions, uncertainties in structural properties and ground motions can be incorporated by use of a probabilistic analysis framework in conjunction ... -
Estimating roadway horizontal alignment from geographic information systems data: An artificial neural network–based approach
(ASCE, 2023-11-01)Estimating horizontal alignment using discretized roadway data points, such as GIS maps, is complicated because the number of curved and tangent segments and their start and end points are not known a priori. This study ... -
Evaluating the impact of building envelope on energy performance: Cooling analyses
(Golden Light Publishing, 2022-03-31)Buildings require a significant amount of energy for heating, cooling, and lighting. Hence, building energy performance has become one of the most important topics in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) ... -
Evaluation of self-healing of internal cracks in biomimetic mortar using coda wave interferometry
(Elsevier, 2016-05)Calcium carbonate biomineralization is a bio-chemical process in which calcium carbonate precipitation is obtained by leveraging the metabolic activity of microorganisms. Studies have shown that biomineralization can be ... -
Evolution of seismic hazard maps in Turkey
(Springer International Publishing, 2018-08)A review on the historical evolution of seismic hazard maps in Turkey is followed by summarizing the important aspects of the updated national probabilistic seismic hazard maps. Comparisons with the predecessor probabilistic ... -
Expeditious strip model for steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates
(Elsevier, 2021-09)Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are a robust lateral force-resisting system used in earthquake-prone regions due to their high lateral strength and stiffness as well as stable hysteretic characteristics. One of the ... -
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 ... -
Field reconnaissance on seismic performance and functionality of Turkish industrial facilities affected by the 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquake sequence
(Springer, 2024-01)On February 6th, 2023, an earthquake sequence with moment magnitudes (Mw) of 7.8 and 7.5 rocked southern and eastern Turkiye, affecting 15 million-residents and a significant portion of Turkiye’s industrial community. In ... -
Fly-ash evaluation as potential EOL material replacement of cement in pastes: Morpho-structural and physico-chemical properties assessment
(MDPI, 2022-04-24)The main objective of the study was to produce alternative binder materials, obtained with low cost, low energy consumption, and low CO2 production, by regenerating end-of-life (EOL) materials from mineral deposits, to ... -
Formalization of occupant feedback and integration with BIM in office buildings
(ASCE, 2021-01-01)Occupant feedback is not effectively used in the facility management (FM) phase for operations and maintenance activities as well as retrofit and refurbishment investment decisions. One of the reasons is related to incomplete ... -
Immobilization of bacterial cells on natural minerals for self-healing cement-based materials
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-13)Recent research in the field of concrete materials showed that it might be possible to develop a smart cement-based material that is capable of remediating cracks by Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). ... -
Impact of air entraining admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation and bacterial viability
(Elsevier, 2017)The applications of self-healing in cement-based materials via biomineralization processes are developing quickly. The main challenge is to find a microorganism that can tolerate the restricted environment of cement paste ... -
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 ...
