Investigation of the use of self compacting concrete in rapid damage repair of airfield runway

By admin

Turkish Air Force needs stationery installations as a prerequisite of its foundation
principles. Today, air-fields play crucial roles as being the first targets for enemy forces
in any possible warfare. Due to that reason, it is vitally important for a country to
manage re-operating its air-fields soon after an attack. To succeed this goal, “rapid repair
of air-fields” method, [...]

Influence of intergranular void ratio on the one dimensional compression

By admin

Clayey sand can be considered as a composite matrix of coarse and fine grains. The interaction
between coarser and finer grain matrices affects the overall stress-strain behavior of these soils.
Intergranular void ratio (which is the void ratio of the coarser grain matrix) can be utilized as an
alternative parameter to express the compression response of such soils.

Development of a numerical algorithm for a consolidation problem due to subsidence in deep alluvial soils

By admin

Settlement of the ground surface due to ground water withdrawal from thick underlying
aquifers may cause serious and costly damage problems.
In this study, a land subsidence problem in İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone
(IAOIZ) has been partially modelled as a consolidation problem of a multi layered soils, using
the method of finite differences. For this aim, a computer [...]

Experimental study of wave propagation in open channels by using electronic circuits and comparison with theory

By admin

In this study, propagation of flood waves in open channels which is one of the important
topics of hydromechanic science is investigated experimentally and theoretically.
Experimental studies are carried out on an experimental set up which has been built in
Hydraulic Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department of Dokuz Eylül University.
Theoretical analysis is performed by numerical solution of mathematical [...]

Seismic evaluation of reinforced concrete buildings

By admin

it is known that ajority of the existing structures in Turkey do not have suffıcient seismic safety that is defıned by the Turkish Earthquake Code. Most of the building stock are ageing and in need of aintenance and retrofıt. After recent earthquakes, especially Kocaeli and Düzce earthquakes, seismic performance assessment of existing buildings is an [...]

Solution methods on the nonlinear analysis of structural systems

By admin

In this study, it is intended to determine the performance levels of structural systems under earthquake effects by using a linear elastic method, the Capacity Spectrum Method and the Displacement Coefficients Method which the last two are used to determine performance levels of structures by considering structural capacity obtained from pushover analyses. For this purpose, [...]

Design of residential homes using steel framing systems

By admin

This study deals with the use of light-weight stell sections in the construction of mediumlength
spans and low-height buildings subjected to medium-rated loads. Introduction of
cold-formed thin-walled steel elements that form the structure is made and the design rules
of AISI 1996 standarts are given in the first three parts of the study.

Influence of capping layer on the transfer of inertial lateral loads to jet grout columns

By admin

Soil improvement methods using jet-grouting method have been extensively used over the
last decade. As in other soil improvement methods, the main reason in the soil improvement
with jet grout is to improve the soil parameters in the field. Though the performance of jet
grout columns against liquefaction and settlement problems has been found efficient in the
1999 Marmara [...]

The effects of rail systems on urban traffic in İzmir

By admin

The aim of this thesis is investigating the effects of rail systems into the zmir traffic. The
previously, after giving an information about the aim of this thesis in first part, given the
meaning of mass transit, explained ‘where does mass transit take place in transportaion?’ and
evaluated developing the mass transit in the world and our country. [...]

Numerical analysis of soil–pile interaction using finite element method

By admin

A nonlinear finite element algorithm has been developed in this study. The motivation behind this attempt was the investigation of seismic inertial soil-pile-structure interaction effects on the response of the surrounding soil to the laterally deforming pile. Emphasis has been given to the understanding of excess pore pressure development since this parameter governs the mechanism [...]
