Generic site amplification factors for northwestern Türkiye and their use in ground motion simulations Muratoğlu, Gamze; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-7-29) Earthquake ground motions are influenced by source, path and local site properties. Among these three factors, local site conditions have a great effect on ground shaking and thus the structural damages observed during large earthquakes. Soil layers on top of hard rock can amplify the ground motions, which makes it essential to quantify the site amplifications. In this thesis, generic site amplification factors in Northwestern Türkiye are obtained according to the NEHRP (National Earthquake Hazards Reductio...
Appropriate passive cooling strategies for hot and humid climates : a case study in cyprus Hançerli, Mustafa Yılmaz; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) In this study, energy conservation potential of appropriate passive cooling and basic heat avoidance strategies were investigated for hot and humid climates. Within this framework, thermal behavior of a case study building that is situated in Cyprus was assessed by collecting temperature and relative humidity data from various rooms of the building during certain days in August. Then, by using feasible simulation strategies of the software tool Summer-Building, the effectiveness of passive cooling measures ...
Generic creep behavior and creep modeling of an aged surface support liner under tension Guner, D.; Gölbaşı, Onur; Öztürk, Hasan (2022-04-01) Polymer-based materials have been motivated to be an alternative support system element in the mining/tunneling industry due to their logistic and geotechnical benefits. Thin spray-on liner (TSL), a term to define the application of the material on the rock surface with a layer ranging from 2 mm to 10 mm in thickness, shows some promising results. TSLs are mainly composed of plastic, polymer, or cement-based ingredients to a certain proportion. This study intends to reveal the time-dependent response of TSL...
Dynamic soil characterization and site response estimation for Erbaa, Tokat (Turkey) AKIN, MÜGE; Kramer, Steven L.; Topal, Tamer (2016-07-01) Site amplification is one of the most important factors controlling damage in urban areas through strong earthquakes. Local site effects play an important role in earthquake-resistant design and should be considered for site response analyses. In this study, ground response analyses in Erbaa, Turkey, a settlement in the North Anatolian Fault Zone, using one-dimensional equivalent linear analysis and empirical approaches based on shear wave velocity profiles are evaluated and compared. The ground response an...
Specific Digging Energy as a Measure of Diggability Karpuz, Celal (1994-10-15) Performance monitoring of shovels is the common practice for diggability estimation. In this paper, the specific digging energy is proposed for the classification of diggability of rock units as a result of performance monitoring studies. An extensive field research program based on the determination of some rock mass and material properties and the performance monitoring of different type and size of electrical shovels has been undertaken at TKI`s (Turkish Coal Enterprises) surface coal mines. The result o...
