Effect of Shear Wall Area to Floor Area Ratio on the Seismic Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Burak Bakır, Burcu (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-11-01)
An analytical study is performed to evaluate the effect of shear wall area to floor area ratio on the seismic behavior of midrise RC structures. For this purpose, 24 midrise building models that have five and eight stories and shear wall ratios ranging between 0.51 and 2.17% in both directions are generated. Then, the behavior of these building models under earthquake loading is examined by carrying out nonlinear time history analyses. In the analyses, seven different ground motion records are applied to th...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges
Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01)
In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Effect of Feed Composition on the Gas Separation Performance of Binary and Ternary Mixed Matrix Membranes
Sen, Deger; Yılmaz, Levent; Kalıpçılar, Halil (Informa UK Limited, 2013-03-01)
Binary and ternary component mixed matrix membranes comprised of zeolite 4A and p-nitroaniline (pNA) in the polycarbonate (PC) matrix were prepared and appraised in gas separation. For comparison, homogenous membranes of PC and PC/pNA membranes were also investigated. The membranes were utilized to separate binary mixtures of CO2/CH4, H2/CH4, and CO2/N2. The effect of feed composition on the separation performance of membranes was investigated. Separation factors and ideal selectivities were similar for the...
Effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio on the physical and chemical properties of activated sludge
Durmaz, B; Sanin, Faika Dilek (2003-11-01)
The effect of carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of the feed on the physical and surface chemical properties of activated sludge is investigated. Semi-continuous reactors with 2 liters volume were operated at a mean cell residence time of 8 days. These mixed culture reactors were operated at 3 different carbon to nitrogen ratio. The operation of conventional activated sludge plants treating municipal wastewater is represented with reactors having a C/N ratio of 21 (in terms of the ratio of COD to TKN). Carbon a...
