EFFECTS OF INFLOW BOUNDARY LAYER ON THE WAKE CHARACTERISTICS OF A RADIALLY NON-UNIFORM POROUS DISC
Abdulrahim, Anas; Uzol, Oğuz; Perçin, Mustafa; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-1-03)
This thesis study presents the results of an experimental investigation focusing on the effects of inflow boundary layer on the wake characteristics of a porous disc (disc diameter-to-boundary layer height is 0.2) with radially non-uniform porosity in terms of mean flow, turbulence, wake scaling, and proper orthogonal decomposition. Two-dimensional two-component particle image velocimetry measurements within the wake are performed up to 7.5 diameters downstream as the disc is lowered deeper in to a boundary...
Effects of cast-in-place concrete topping on flexural response of precast concrete hollow-core slabs
Baran, Eray (2015-09-01)
Results of a study focusing on the flexural response of precast prestressed concrete hollow-core slabs with cast-in-place concrete topping are presented. The experimental part of the study included load testing of five precast concrete hollow-core units. The numerically determined flexural response of test specimens was later compared with the experimentally obtained behavior. Results demonstrate that a major composite action is valid between the hollow-core unit and the topping slab under load levels corre...
Effects of inflow boundary layer on the wake of a radially non-uniform porous disk
Abdulrahim, Anas; Akpolat, M. Tuğrul; Hassanein, Abdelrahman; Perçin, Mustafa; Uzol, Oğuz (2021-05-01)
This study presents the results of an experimental investigation focusing on the effects of the inflow boundary layer on the wake characteristics of a 0.12 m diameter porous disk with radially non-uniform porosity in terms of mean flow, turbulence, and wake scaling. Two-dimensional two-component particle image velocimetry measurements within the wake are performed up to 7.5 diameters downstream as the disk is lowered deeper into a boundary layer that is representative of a neutral atmospheric boundary layer...
Effects of soil structure interaction and base isolated systems on seismics performance of foundation solis
Soyöz, Serdar; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
In this thesis primarily structural induced liquefaction potential was aimed to be analyzed. Also the effect of base isolation systems both on structural performance and liquefaction potential was studied. FLAC software was chosen for the analyses so that structure and soil could be modeled together. By these means the soil structure interaction effects were also examined. Four different structures and three different sites were analyzed under two different input motions. All the structures were also analyz...
Effects of masonry infill walls on the seismic performance of buildings
Öztürk, Mehmet Selim; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
In Turkey, in most of the reinforced concrete buildings, hallow masonry infill walls are used as a non-structural element, during design stage, their contribution to overall building behavior is not well known. Observations made after the earthquakes revealed that these non-structural elements had beneficial effects on the lateral capacity of the building. In this study, the contribution of the hallow masonry infill walls to the lateral behavior of reinforced concrete buildings was investigated. For this pu...
