The aim of this thesis is to investigate effects of different soil, pile and ground motion parameters on lateral displacement of the piles embedded in homogeneous and clean sand under cyclic loading. For this purpose, an ...

The impact behavior of deflection-hardening High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Concretes (HPFRCs) was evaluated herein. During the preparation of HPFRCs, fiber type and amount, fly ash to Portland cement ratio ...

Viscous dampers (VDs) are effective and widely used passive devices for the protection of civil structures, provided that appropriate design is carried out. For this purpose, optimal design and optimum distribution of VDs ...

This study investigates the performance of the first reinforcement layer depth for sand subbase of a road or construction by plate load laboratory tests. Unreinforced and reinforced experiments on different reinforcement ...

Light shelf applications are one of the improved daylight system, help to contribute energy saving by using daylight effective. Latitude is an important parameter that affects the placement and efficiency of light shelf. ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of static shear stress on the liquefaction potential of soil, and to propose a closed-form solution that takes this effect into account. Two-dimensional finite-difference-based ...

The Turkish and global scale ground-motion databases are firstly compiled in the scope of the study. Joyner-Boore (RJB) and closest distance to the fault rupture (RRUP) ground-motion prediction equations (GMPEs) are ...

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) are a group of highly reactive and hazardous gases encompassing compounds ranging from nitrous to nitric acid. Air pollution caused by nitrogen oxides that are emitted to the atmosphere by industrial ...

Engineered geopolymer composites (EGC), is emerged through a combination of the geopolymer material developed as an alternative to Portland cement (PC), whose usage is increasing day by day with the growing population ...
