The economic growth in developing countries triggers investments in highway networks. Thus, this requires a re-evaluation of existing design practices, which are mostly empirical. An alternative is the relatively recently developed Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) design method. It has major data challenges and must be identified before a major switch. In this study, three different climatic regions for Turkey were analyzed optimizing 162 design combinations. Results showed that climate, traffic, and reliability parameters extremely affect the performance of the pavement. As in the current practice of Turkey, climate and material effects are not currently considered; these should be further studied considering the local calibration steps.

Holistic Water-Energy-Food Nexus for Guiding Water Resources Planning: Matagorda County, Texas Case Kulat, Muhammet I.; Mohtar , Rabi H.; Olivera, Francisco (Frontiers Media SA, 2019-2-12) Nations, particularly those with well-established infrastructure, have started to look for new, innovative solutions to address the expected, inevitable high demand for primary resources. The WEF (water-energy-food) Nexus approach, which holistically considers the dynamic interlinkages between water, energy, and food resources, has come to the forefront within scientific and practice communities. Supporters assert that sustainable solutions can be revealed through the use of this approach, rather than ...
Causal relationship between construction investment policy and economic growth in Turkey Ozkan, Filiz; Ozkan, Omer; Gunduz, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2012-02-01) The construction industry in countries experiencing severe economic crisis has vital importance to get out of stagnation because of its direct relations with 200 different sectors. In this study, the relationship between the construction growth data (infrastructure, building and residential (public), building and residential (private) investment) and gross domestic product (GDP) is examined for Turkey. To this end, Engle-Granger cointegration, error correction model (ECM) and Granger causality tests were ap...
Do Stock Index Futures Affect Economic Growth? Evidence from 32 Countries Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay; Aydoğan, Kürşat (2018-01-26) This article investigates the relationship between stock index futures markets development and economic growth using time-series methods for 32 developed and developing countries. Evidence of cointegration between stock index futures and real economy in 29 countries suggests the presence of co-movements among the variables, indicating long-run stationarity in those countries. Our findings show that there is Granger-causality from stock index futures markets development to economic growth for middle-income c...
Intra-OIZ and Intra-Industry Knowledge Spillovers in Ankara: A Spatial Econometric Analysis Erdil, Erkan (2018-06-01) Network between the firms reveal the knowledge spillovers which is inevitable for economic growth of a country for neoclassical economists. In this study, existence of intra- OIZ and intra-industry knowledge spillovers in Ankara is tested by the help of an export decision function. As it considers the spatial dependence between the regional units, the spatial econometric method is preferred. The data set is taken from the “Field Research Survey” of SMEDO. The spatial effect is one third of the total effect ...
Seismic response of hunchbacked block type gravity quay walls Yuksel, Z. Tugce; YÜKSEL, Yalçın; Çetin, Kemal Önder; ÇEVİK, Esin (2017-10-01) Earthquakes near major cities may cause big social and economic impacts. Damages to port facilities may cripple the economy. The past twenty years' experience has proven the high vulnerability of the port facilities. This fact, along with the economic importance of port structures, indicates the need for better seismic design approaches for berth structures and cargo handling facilities. In the recent decades, there have been many incidences of failure of gravity type quay walls. These failures have stimula...
