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 ...
Bacteria-based concrete
(Elsevier, 2018)
Several strains of bacteria can induce the precipitation of calcium carbonate, if the appropriate conditions, sufficient nutrients and a calcium source are provided. The metabolic pathway that is followed by the bacterial ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
