Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Çelik Köprü I-kirişlerine Yanal Destek Sağlayan Trapez Sac Kalıpların Mukavemeti(Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, 2009) Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Eğilmez, Oğuz Özgür; Alkan, Deniz; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyTrapez Sac Kalıplar (TSK) hem çelik bina hem de çelik köprü sektörlerinde beton döşemenin kalıp sistemi olarak sıklıkla kullanılmaktadırlar. TSK’ler her ne kadar bina inşaatlarında çelik I-kirişlere yanal destek sağlayıcı elemanlar olarak işlev görseler de, çelik köprü sektöründe trapez sac kalıplardan destek elemanları olarak yararlanılmasına izin verilmez. Ancak, önceki çalışmalar birleşim detayının geliştirilmesi durumunda TSK sisteminin kirişin yanal kararlılığına belirgin şekilde destek sağlayabildiğini göstermiştir. Bu makale halen devam etmekte olan ve TSK’lerin mukavemetinin incelendiği analitik bir çalışmanın ara sonuçlarını içermektedir. Geçmişte, TSK sistemleriyle desteklenen köprü kirişlerin genel burkulma davranışını irdeleyen basit sonlu elemanlar modelleri (SEM) kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada TSK’leri hem birbirlerine hem de kirişlere bağlayan vidalardaki kararlılık destek kuvvetlerini belilemek için kullanılan geliştirilmiş bir sonlu elemanlar modelinin sonuçlarına yer verilmiştir. Bu çözümleme sonuçları TSK’lerin içermesi gereken mukavemet ihtiyacını belirleyecek olan bir tasarım yönteminin geliştirilmesinde kullanılacaktır.Conference Object A Boundary Element Method for Axisymmetric Elastodynamic Analysis(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 1996) Özkan, Gonca; Özkan, Gonca; Mengi, Yalçın; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA 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, Gökmen; Tayfur, Gökmen; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySt. 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, Orhan; Gündüz, Orhan; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe 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 Consistency Analysis of Kalman Filter for Modal Analysis of Structures(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Tanyer, İlker; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Özen, Serdar; Özen, Serdar; Dönmez, Cemalettin; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz; Altınkaya, Mustafa Aziz; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this paper, Consistency Analysis of Kalman Filter for Modal Analysis of Structural Systems is made. As a future work, A fundamental Modal Analysis algorithm, Eigensystem Realization Algorithm(ERA) will be used with Kalman filters together to make a modal parameter estimation for a structural system. By applying ERA to the impulse response measurements taken from the structure, a state-space representation will be written. Kalman filter will be used as a state estimator in this study and it will have a critical role on minimizing the measurement noise. Before using Kalman filter with ERA, a consistency analysis of Kalman filter is made for artificial impulse response data of the structural system.Article Citation - WoS: 53Citation - Scopus: 63Effective Stress Principle for Saturated Fractured Porous Media(Wiley-Blackwell, 1995) Tuncay, Kağan; Çorapçıoğlu, M. Yavuz; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAn effective stress principle for saturated fractured porous media is proposed based On the double-porosity representation. Both the solid grains and the fractured porous medium are assumed to be linearly elastic materials. The derivation employs volume averaging technique to obtain macroscopic scale expressions. Two parameters, the bulk modulus of the fractured medium and bulk modulus of the porous matrix, are introduced in the formulation. The final expression reduces to the one obtained by Blot and Willis [1957], Skempton [1960], Nur and Byeerle [1971], and Verruijt [1984] when the volume fraction of the fractures vanishes, that is, for a nonfractured porous medium.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 29Fuzzy, Ann, and Regression Models To Predict Longitudinal Dispersion Coefficient in Natural Streams(IWA Publishing, 2006) Tayfur, Gökmen; Tayfur, Gökmen; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study developed fuzzy, ANN, and regression-based models to predict longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural streams from flow discharge data. 92 sets of field data were employed to calibrate and validate the models. 63 sets of data were used for the calibration while the remaining data were used for the validation of the models. The model-prediction results revealed the superiority of the developed models over the existing equations. The developed models predicted the measured data satisfactorily with minimum errors and maximum accuracy rates. The three models had comparable performances although the fuzzy model had the highest accuracy rate (79%) and lowest mean relative error (0.85).Article Citation - WoS: 63Correlating Rheology of Self-Consolidating Concrete To Corresponding Concrete-Equivalent Mortar(American Concrete Institute, 2009) Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Khayat, Kamal H.; Yahia, Ammar; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe investigation reported in this paper seeks to develop a methodology to evaluate the rheological parameters and thixotropy of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) using those of concrete-equivalent mortar (CEM). The mixture proportioning of CEMs are derived from their corresponding concrete mixtures by eliminating the coarse aggregate fraction and replacing it by a certain mass of sand of the same surface area. SCC mixtures with water-cementitious material ratios (w/cm) of 0.35, 0.38, and 0.42 and coarse aggregate-total aggregate volume ratios (CA/A) of 0.44 to 0.53 were investigated. The mixtures with a w/cm (if 0.38 and 0.42 incorporated low and moderate dosages, respectively, of a viscosity-modifying admixture to enhance stability For each SCC, the dosage of high-range water-reducer (HRWR) was varied to cover a wide range of slump flow consistencies ranging between 570 and 730 mm (22.4 and 28.7 in.). All SCC mixtures were proportioned with 450 kg/m(3) (758.5 lb/yd(3)) of ternary silica fume-ground granulated blast-furnace slag cement. A simple method is also proposed to determine the HRWR demand of SCC from that of the corresponding CEM. Test results showed that a good correlation can be established between the yield stress, plastic viscosity, and thixotropy of SCC and their corresponding CEM mixtures. Both thixotropy and plastic viscosity of SCC mixtures and their corresponding CEM mixtures are shown to vary primarily with variations in the w/cm and relative volume of coarse aggregate.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 79Artificial Neural Networks for Estimating Daily Total Suspended Sediment in Natural Streams(IWA Publishing, 2006) Tayfur, Gökmen; Tayfur, Gökmen; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyEstimates of sediment loads in natural streams are required for a wide spectrum of water resources engineering problems from optimal reservoir design to water quality in lakes. Suspended sediment constitutes 75-95% of the total load. The nonlinear problem of suspended sediment estimation requires a nonlinear model. An artificial neural network (ANN) model has been developed to predict daily total suspended sediment (TSS) in rivers. The model is constructed as a three-layer feedforward network using the back-propagation algorithm as a training tool. The model predicts TSS rates using precipitation (P) data as input. For network training and testing 240 sets of data sets were used. The model successfully predicted daily TSS loads using the present and past 4 days precipitation data in the input vector with R2 = 0.91 and MAE = 34.22 mg/L. The performance of the model was also tested against the most recently developed non-linear black box model based upon two-dimensional unit sediment graph theory (2D-USGT). The comparison of results revealed that the ANN has a significantly better performance than the 2D-USGT. Investigation results revealed that the ANN model requires a period of more than 75 d of measured P-TSS data for training the model for satisfactory TSS estimation. The statistical parameter range (xmin - xmax) plays a major role for optimal partitioning of data into training and testing sets. Both sets should have comparable values for the range parameter.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Köprülerde Deneysel Modal Analiz Uygulamaları(TMMOB İnşaat Mühendisleri Odası, 2009) Dönmez, Cemalettin; Karakan, Eyyüb; Dönmez, Cemalettin; 03.03. Department of Civil Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyDeneysel modal analiz son 30 yıldır çeşitli araştırmacılar tarafından yapısal sistemlerin durum tespiti/izlemesi ve hasar tanılaması amacıyla kullanılmaktadır. Ölçüm ve analizlerin tekniğine uygun olarak tasarlanıp uygulanması durumunda bu teknik ile yapısal bir sistemin dinamik özellikleri (frekanslar, sönüm oranları ve modal şekilleri) kestirilebilmektedir. Sistemde oluşacak herhangi bir hasarın sistemin sıkılığını ve aynı zamanda dinamik özelliklerini değiştireceği gerçeğinden yola çıkılırsa, hasar öncesi ve sonrası dinamik özelliklerin izlenmesi sayesinde yapıda oluşan hasarlar tahribatsız bir biçimde tespit edilebilir.
