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 ...
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 ...
A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Turkish territory—part I: the area source model
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)
The seismic zoning map of Turkey that is used in connection with the national seismic design code (versions issued both in 1997 and 2007) is based on a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment study conducted more than 20 ...
Passive radiative cooling design with broadband optical thin-film filters
(Elsevier, 2017-09)
The operation of most electronic semiconductor devices suffers from the self-generated heat. In the case of photovoltaic or thermos-photovoltaic cells, their exposure to sun or high temperature sources make them get warm ...
Use of biomineralisation in developing smart concrete inspired by nature
(Inderscience, 2015)
Recently, interest has focused on leveraging the biological functions of microorganisms to develop smart cement-based materials. This paper provides an overview of the calcium carbonate biomineralisation process in nature ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
