Ground-motion models are developed using global dataset and the main assumption when deriving a ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) is ergodic assumption. In stochastic sense ergodicity defined as the point in the ...

Behavioral properties of cold-formed steel (CFS) members, the use of which has increased in recent years, are determined by standard tests, including axial compression and bending tests. During experimental testing, various ...

This thesis is about estimating the deformation behavior of supported diaphragm walls and settlements behind the wall due to excavation built on soft ground environments. For this purpose, a finite element model that ...

Natural disasters have the capacity to severely damage all kinds of man-made structures. An earthquake is also one of the most destructive and cruel of them. One of the biggest damages that earthquakes will cause in modern ...

Today, air quality continues to be an important issue affecting public health, environment, and economy around the world. One of the most fundamental problems faced by industrialized societies is air pollution caused by ...

Cold-formed Steel (CFS) buildings are gaining popularity in the construction industry due to seismic performance and rapid construction process. CFS buildings provide a significant advantage from a sustainability perspective ...

This study aims to evaluate the geotechnical characteristics of clayey soils in the west of Ankara and, accordingly, the depositional environments, depending on the laboratory and the in-situ tests. The clayey soils mentioned ...

In recent years, the increase in population in our country, as in the whole world, has caused the need for underground structures. Deep excavation systems are used in the construction of underground structures such as metro ...

Microbials incorporated cement-binder system is a kind of self-healing cementitious material that contains micro-organisms which induce a precipitation of calcium carbonate in cracks. Ureolytic pure cultures have been used ...

Infrastructures are getting more and more popular and preferable since the urban areas are getting crowded. Ground surface is occupied by high rise buildings, hospitals, social facilities and etc. Therefore, it is essential ...
