Uncertainty in risk of highway bridges assessed for integrated seismic and flood hazards
(Taylor and Francis, 2017-11-24)
Probabilistic risk assessment for bridges under natural hazards is of great interest to engineers for the development of risk mitigation strategies and implementation plans. The present study evaluates risk of an existing ...
Optimization of spectrally selective Si/SiO2 based filters for thermophotovoltaic devices
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Design of a spectrally selective filter based on one-dimensional Si/SiO2 layers is considered for improved performance of thermo-photovoltaic devices. Spectrally selective filters transmit only the convertible radiation ...
Interaction of a pile with layered-soil under vertical excitations: field experiments versus numerical simulations
(Springer International Publishing, 2017-09)
Data recorded during a field test involving an instrumented drilled shaft under vertical excitations are examined in order to (1) extract the soil–pile system’s dynamic impedance, and (2) to evaluate the small-strain shear ...
Biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials: investigating the temporal evolution of microbial metabolic state and material porosity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)
The potential for self-healing of concrete via biomineralization processes in which microorganisms influence mineral precipitation is promising. To embed microorganisms within a cement-based material, key challenges are ...
Use of pre-wetted lightweight fine expanded shale aggregates as internal nutrient reservoirs for microorganisms in bio-mineralized mortar
(Elsevier, 2017-11)
Interest in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials has gained broader attention in the concrete community. One of challenges in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials is that cell death ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
