Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the aec industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01)Although a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the ... -
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 ... -
Real-time earthquake shake, damage, and loss mapping for Istanbul metropolitan area
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)The past devastating earthquakes in densely populated urban centers, such as the 1994 Northridge; 1995 Kobe; 1999 series of Kocaeli, Düzce, and Athens; and 2011 Van-Erciş events, showed that substantial social and economic ... -
Regional-scale seismic fragility, loss, and resilience assessment using physics-based simulated ground motions: An application to istanbul
(Wiley, 2023-05)Using results from 57 large-scale physics-based fault-rupture and wave propagation simulations, this research aims to evaluate the seismic risk, loss, and resilience of more than 16,000 reinforced concrete buildings in the ... -
Relationship between response modification coefficient and displacement amplification factor for different seismic levels and site classes
(National Technical University of Athens, 2019)Modern seismic design provisions allow structural systems to be designed for reduced forces, which are typically much smaller than the corresponding elastic design loads. This reduction in seismic loads is done by using ... -
Review of uncertainties in building characterization for urban-scale energy modeling
(Springer, 2022)Bottom-up modeling appears to be a suitable approach for the urban-scale building energy performance assessment with providing valuable inferences on the complicated building energy patterns and helping authorities ... -
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 ... -
A simplified approach for site-specific design spectrum
(Springer, 2018)The design acceleration spectrum requires site investigations and site-response analyses in accordance with the local seismic hazard. The variability in earthquake source and path effects may be considered using a large ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Site characterization for site response analysis in performance based approach
(Springer, 2022)The local seismic hazard analysis would yield probabilistic uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum on the engineering bedrock outcrop. Thus, site-specific response analyses need to produce a probabilistic uniform ... -
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 response from Istanbul vertical arrays and strong motion network
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute ( EERI ), 2014)In the framework of Istanbul Microzonation Project for the European side, the investigated region was divided by a grid system of 250m×250m and site investigations were performed for each cell based on borings and in-situ ...
