Research Project Tarihi yığma yapıların yapısal davranışlarının incelenmesinde izlenecek esasların belirlenmesi; Örnek çalışma: Urla Kamanlı camii(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2004) Aktaş, Engin; Teomete, EgemenTarihi yapılar, binlerce yıllık kültürel birikimimizin en değerli parçalarmdandır. Onlarca medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmış Anadolu toprakları, bünyesinde sayısız tarihi yapı bulundurmaktadır. Bu yapıların yokolmasmı engellemek ve gelecek nesillere ulaşmasını sağlamak önemli bir insanlık vazifesidir. Yıllar tarihi yapılara oldukça hoyrat davranmış ve çoğunun üzerinde derin izler bırakmıştır. Bu yapıların bir kısmı restorasyon ve güçlendirmeye ihtiyaç duymaktadırlar. Hassas bir şekilde yaklaşılması gereken tarihi yapılar, herhangi bir müdahale öncesinde etraflıca gözlenip, analiz edilmelidir. Yapının problemleri iyi tanımlanmalıdır; yapının özgün durumu göz önüne alınarak, araştırma metodları planlanmalı ve uygulanmalıdır. Yapının tarihçe araştırması, röleve çıkartılması, malzeme ve yapısal testler, zemin analizi, uzun dönem gözlemler ve yapı analizi yapıya uygulanacak araştırma metodları arasında sayılabilir. Bu çalışmada örnek olarak seçilen, tarihi yığma yapı Urla Kamanlı Camii üzerinde araştırma metodlarmm uygulanması gösterilmiştir. Yapı analizleri için modellemede Sonlu Elemanlar Metodu seçilmiş, yapının test ve gözlemler sonucu elde edilen geometrik ve malzeme verileri bu modelde kullanılmıştır. Yığma yapıların sonlu elemanlar metodu ile modellenmesinde sıkça kullanılan mikro ve makro modellemeden, yapının büyüklüğü gözönüne alınarak makro modelleme tercih edilmiştir. Makro modellemede yığma sistem öğeleri, homojenize edilerek yığma davranışın modellenmesine gidilir. Toplanan verilerle, yapının sonlu elemanlar analizi, LUSAS adlı ticari bir program ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapıya öz yük, sismik yükler ve olası oturma senaryoları için elastik lineer analizler uygulanmış ve yapıdaki sorunlu bölgeler irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca doğrusal olmayan analizler sayesinde ise yapının öz yük ve oturma senaryolarının beraberce etkittirilmesi ile yapıdaki mevcut durum açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.Research Project Moment aktaran mevcut çelik çerçeve kiriş kolon birleşimlerinin deprem davranışlarının cam elyaf takviyeli kompozit malzemeler kullanılarak geliştirilmesi(2010) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Tanoğlu, Metin[No Abstract Available]Conference Object A Boundary Element Method for Axisymmetric Elastodynamic Analysis(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 1996) Özkan, Gonca; Mengi, YalçınA new numerical method is proposed for the boundary element analysis of axisymmetric bodies. The method is based on complex Fourier series expansion of boundary quantities in circumferential direction, which reduced the boundary element equation to an integral equation in (r-z) plane involving the Fourier coefficients of boundary quantities, where r and z are the coordinates of the r theta z cylindrical coordinate system. The kernels appearing in these integral equations can be computed effectively by discrete Fourier transform formulas together with the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, and the integral equations (r-z) plane can be solved by Gaussian quadrature, which establishes the Fourier coefficients associated with boundary quantities. The Fourier transform solution can then be inverted into r theta z space by using again discrete Fourier transform formulas together with FFT algorithm. In this paper, we present the formulation of the proposed method which is outlined above. A comparison is given between the existent methods in literature and our method, which shows that the use of FFT algorithm for the integrations in circumferential direction provides considerable saving in computer time.Conference Object Upscaling Surface Flow Equations Depending Upon Data Availability at Different Scales(Springer Verlag, 2003) Tayfur, GökmenSt. Venant equations, which are used to model sheet flows, are point-scale, depth-averaged equations, requiring data on model parameters at a very fine scale. When data are available at the scale of a hillslope transect, the point equations need to be upscaled to conserve the mass and momentum at that scale, Hillslope-scale upscaled model must be developed if data are available at that scale. The performance of the three models applied to simulate flows from non-rilled surfaces revealed that the hillslope-scale upscaled model performs as good as the point-scale model though it uses far less data. The transectionally-upscaled model slightly underestimates the observed data.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Effect of Water Source on Human Health: a Case Study From Biga Peninsula, Turkey(2009) Baba, Alper; Gündüz, OrhanThe concentrations of certain elements including arsenic (As), fluoride (F) and aluminum (AI) were measured in groundwater in the different part of Biga Peninsula which is located in the western parts of Turkey. The concentration values of As and AI in groundwater ranged between 10-40 ppb, 0.5-0.8 ppm and 1-11.5 ppm, respectively, in this region. Al values exceed the Turkish drinking water standard value of 0.2 ppm. Furthermore, As concentration in water from alteration zones exceed the drinking water standard value of 10 ppb. Based on this background, this study was intended to investigate the source of these heavy metals and its neurotoxin effects on human health as many people living in this region have undergone medical treatment, which are believed to be related to the quality of water resources originating from densely altered volcanic rocks.Conference Object Experimental Investigation of Flow Characteristics of Discretized Triangular Hydrographs(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering Research, 2015) Pulat, Aytaç; Ata, Cem; Altınsoy, Sinem; Bombar, Gökçen; Elçi, ŞebnemIn this study effect of discretization of triangular hydrographs on flow characteristics is investigated. All experimental tests are carried out in a rectangular flume of 70 cm width and 18 m length and having a slope of 0.004. The flow rate is measured by an electromagnetic flow meter mounted on the inlet pipe and the time variation of flow depth is monitored at various locations. The point velocities are measured by a side-looking ultrasonic velocity meter at 17 different elevations along the water column by repeating the same hydrograph 17 times in unsteady flows, so that the velocity time series could be obtained at each location. A pump speed control unit (PSCU) is used to generate the hydrograph. The results of a three step discretized hydrograph and a continuous triangular shaped hydrograph generated in the flume are compared. Rising and falling periods of both hydrographs are 5.5 minutes and the base and peak flow rates are 14 l/s and 62 l/s respectively. The time varying mean of velocity time series in both stream-wise and vertical directions are investigated. The velocity profiles as well as the turbulence characteristics are compared with the ones obtained from the triangular hydrograph and the discretized hydrograph at unsteady flow conditions. The effect of discretization of the triangular hydrograph on flow velocities and turbulence characteristics is also discussed.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Validation of Porosity in 2d-Dem Cpt Model Using Large Scale Shaking Table Tests in Saturated Sands(Taylor & Francis, 2015) Bakunowicz, Paulina; Ecemiş, NurhanThis paper contains the calibration phase of two-dimensional numerical modelling of Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) in clean saturated sand deposits. The data for calibration is obtained from the CPTs conducted before five different large scale laminar box shaking table tests. The numerical simulations of the cone penetration tests are carried out under application of the Distinct Element Method (DEM) software PFC2D (ITASCA, 2008). This software has additional basic fluid analysis option which uses well recognized SIMPLE shame (Patankar, 1980). A series of conventional Consolidated Drained (CD) triaxial tests were performed in the laboratory to assess the stress-strain behavior of the tested soil. Based on these physical experiments, calibration and scaling of DEM model was performed. In this paper, it is also proven that CPT laminar box based correlations facilitate to overcome limitations of 2D simulation. Outcome can be widely and successfully applied both in scientific research and engineering practice.Conference Object Performance of Vertical Wall and Floating Breakwaters Combination for Datca Marina(ICE Publishing, 2014) Günbak, Ali Rıza; Öztunalı Özbahçeci, Bergüzar; Küçükosmanoğlu, Alp; Akbaş, Halit LeventDatca Marina is located at the South Western corner of Turkey at the Mediterranean Sea with steep sea bottom slopes (1/3-1/5). The water depths are changing between 4m to 37m at the breakwater location. Considering the high water depths and the wave characteristics, floating breakwater could be a good alternative for the marina. However, the performance of the floating breakwater may be limited due to the longer periods of the waves coming from E to SSE direction range. Therefore both a floating breakwater composed of 20 m length segments (B=5m wide, h=2,9m high) of total 526m and a vertical wall breakwater of 362m are decided to use for protecting the Marina against waves. The performance of the vertical wall and floating breakwaters combination is investigated by 3D hydraulic model experiments. Hydraulic model tests showed that the significant wave height may exceed 0.3m only 1,08% of the year. It is also found that floating breakwater is much more efficient under oblique wave attack and it is proposed to use the projection of oblique wave length to predict transmission coefficients of oblique waves.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Strength Requirements of Permanent Metal Deck Forms Used for Lateral Bracing of Steel Bridge Girders(2006) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Helwig, T.A.; Herman, R.S.Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) are often used in steel bridges to support the weight of the wet concrete during deck construction. Although the PMDF also has the potential to provide bracing to steel bridge girders during construction, the stiffness of the PMDF system as a lateral brace is drastically reduced by the eccentric support angle connection detail used to attach the forms to the girders. Laboratory tests have shown that a simple modification to the connection detail can substantially increase the stiffness of these PMDF systems and allow utilization of the PMDF for girder bracing. This paper presents results from a parametrical study conducted to determine stability and strength requirements for PMDF used to provide lateral bracing to steel bridge girders. Detailed FEA models were used to determine the stability bracing strength requirements for the fasteners that are used to connect the PMDF along the sidelaps of the sheets and to the girders. Design expressions are presented as well as an example demonstrating the use of the design equations.Conference Object Roc Curves for Evaluating Sensor Performance as Low Energy Impacts Damage a Composite Wing(DEStech Publications Inc., 2009) Aktaş, Engin; Seaver, M.Eight fiber Bragg gratings and 3 ICP accelerometers attached to the upper surface of a foam core composite wing (1320 mm X 152.4 mm X 13.4 mm) were used to record the wing's response to broad band (0 - 1500 Hz) Gaussian excitation following a series of low energy (-6.5 J) impacts to the surface of the wing. For each damage level, at least 15 measurements were made over a period of three days to enable a statistical evaluation of each sensor's performance. Damage detection relied on measuring nonlinearity in the response data using a second order correlation metric called the Bicoherence. The amplitudes of any peaks seen in the Bicoherence were compared with thresholds determined from the variance in the off diagonal terms in the Bicoherence measurement. This approach allows the evaluation of both the probability of detection (POD) and the probability of false alarms (PFA) for each measurement without the need for a healthy baseline. The results show that all eight FBGs out perform the accelerometers and that one FBG in particular is more sensitive to nonlinearity than the others. The measurement sensitivity of the Bicoherence is also compared with static tip deflection measurements.
