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 ... -
Crack remediation in mortar via biomineralization: effects of chemical admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate
(Elsevier, 2018-11-30)Limited research on biomineralization in cement-based systems suggested that self-healing of surface cracks could be obtained by triggering biogenic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitation within the cracks. While this is ... -

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 ... -
A new embankment construction method through the analysis of possible failure mechanisms in soft soils
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019)A new method to analyze the failure behavior of embankments on soft soils is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on the evaluation of stability considerations applied on a possible mechanism which can be ... -
Tension field inclination angle in steel plate shear walls with beam- connected web plates
(National Technical University of Athens, 2019)Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are an efficient lateral force-resisting system with thin infill plates, main elements resisting the lateral force, connected to beams and columns on all four edges. Upon lateral loading, ... -
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 ... -
Numerical modeling of the offshore wind turbine monopile foundation under environmental loading
(CRC Press, 2019)Prediction of dynamic performance of an offshore wind turbine requires consideration of many different design parameters. Beside the superstructure, foundation also plays an important role both functionally and financially ... -
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 ... -
Strip model for steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates
(National Technical University of Athens, 2019)Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are a lateral force-resisting system in which thin infill plates (web plates) are connected to the boundary frame (i.e., beams and columns) along four edges. Despite shear buckling of thin ... -
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 ... -
Flood performance and dislocation assessment for Lumberton homes after Hurricane Matthew
(Seoul National University, 2019-05-26)In order to better understand community resilience following a disaster, a multidisciplinary research team from the Center of Excellence (CoE) for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning and the National Institute of ... -
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 ... -
Yumuşak zeminler üzerinde dolgu inşasında temel zemini göçmesine dayalı tasarım yaklaşımı
(TMMOB İnşaat Mühendisleri Odası, 2019-09)In order to tackle the difficulties encountered in embankment design and construction, a new design method for embankments on soft clays is proposed in this paper. The method approaches to the problem with the philosophy ... -
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 ... -
Analyzing the benefits and challenges of building information modelling and life cycle assessment integration
(IEEE, 2020)Previous studies show that the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry contributes up to 1/3 of global GHG emissions. With the aim of mitigating negative impacts of AEC industry on the natural environment, ... -
BIM-based automated safety review for fall prevention
(Springer, 2020)The construction industry is globally known as one of the most hazardous industries. Safety in construction is affected by many factors such as the behavior of workers, site conditions, the design and the implementation ... -
Bio-derived rheology modifying agents for cement-based materials
(Springer, 2020)In recent few years, significant development has been made in concrete technology to accommodate the requirements of high-performance concrete. Rheology Modifying Agents (RMAs) (such as superplasticizers) and Viscosity ... -
Design of energy-efficient white portland cement mortars for digital fabrication
(Springer, 2020)Additive manufacturing, i.e. three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has many advantages over traditional processes and the related technology is continuously improving. This study aims to develop an energy- efficient ... -
BIM execution plan based on BS EN ISO 19650‐1 and BS EN ISO 19650‐2 standards
(Istanbul Technical University, 2020)The major requirement of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is to effectively manage information gathered from different project stakeholders. A structured guideline requires for managing the process ...
