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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
