Mixed method review for integrating building information modeling and life-cycle assessments
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)Previous studies have suggested that building information modeling (BIM) and life-cycle assessments (LCAs) could be integrated to quantify and alleviate the environmental effects of buildings while simplifying and optimizing ... -
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 ... -
Design method for quantifying embankment safety against lateral spreading and determining contribution of basal reinforcements
(Elsevier, 2020-06)This study proposes an analytical method for the calculation of the safety factor against lateral spreading in embankments, both for cases with and without basal reinforcement. Hence, a new limit equilibrium approach is ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of the extent of field data required for reliable calibration and validation of large scale traffic simulation models: A case study
(IEEE, 2020-09-20)Availability, accuracy and relevance of field data are essential for developing a reliable simulation model. Large scale simulation models in particular require data from many sources and in great detail. Considering the ... -
A computational workflow for rupture‐to‐structural‐response simulation and its application to Istanbul
(Wiley, 2020-10)Scenario-based earthquake simulations at regional scales hold the promise in advancing the state-of-the-art in seismic risk assessment studies. In this study, a computational workflow is presented that combines (i) a ... -
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 ... -
Çimento-esaslı harçlarda kendiliğinden iyileşmenin sağlanması için 2 bileşenli biyolojik katkı maddesinin geliştirilmesi
(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2021)Purpose: Throughout the literature, studies showed that among several alternatives such as diatomaceous earth (DE), metakaolin, zeolites and expanded clay could be suitable for protection of the bacteria based on their ... -
Estimating roadway horizontal alignment using artificial neural network
(IEEE, 2021)This paper presents a novel approach for extracting horizontal alignment data from Geographic Information Systems (GIS) centerline shapefiles. Estimating the road horizontal alignment is formulated as a minimization problem, ... -
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). ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Predicting pore volume, compressive strength, pore connectivity, and formation factor in cementitious pastes containing fly ash
(Elsevier, 2021-09)This paper describes the use of thermodynamic modeling to predict the reaction products and properties of cementitious pastes containing fly ash. A pore partitioning model is used to estimate the gel and capillary pore ... -
Identification of common data environment functions during construction phase of BIM-based projects
(Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, 2021-10)The utilization of building information modeling (BIM) has been rapidly increasing in the last decade as it stimulates project constructability, quality, efficiency, and success. A well-structured and organized information ... -
