A study on risk assessment of scour vulnerable bridges
Apaydın, Meriç; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Many river bridges fail or are seriously damaged due to excessive local scouring around piers and abutments. To protect a bridge from scour-induced failure, it should be designed properly against excessive scouring and its scour criticality should be checked regularly throughout the service life to take prompt action. The Federal Highway Administration of United States (FHWA) developed a program, HYRISK, as a basis for evaluation of existing scour failure risk of a bridge. It provides implementation of a ri...
A STUDY ON RESERVOIR FILLING PRACTICES FOR SMALL EARTHFILL DAMS
Kurter, Ege Can; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Çalamak, Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-12-16)
The initial filling is considered to be the first safety test of the embankment followed after construction. The earth material acts significantly different during the first interaction with water. The majority of the failures occur during initial filling. The reasons of failures are mainly attributable to crack formation and internal erosion followed by piping. The filling is commonly practiced in multi-stages where intermediary holds are provided for monitoring purposes before the embankment is further lo...
A study on the reliability-based safety analysis of concrete gravity dams
Beşer, Mehmet Reşat; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet various project demands. Their roles in both environment and the economy of a country are so important that their design and construction should be carried out for negligibly small risk. Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore variations of the governing variables. To offset this limitation, high safety factors are considered that increase the cost of the structure. Reliabilityاbased design approaches are probabilistic in nature ...

A Case study on how public primary schools promote health
Çetintürk, Arzu; Akar, Hanife; Department of Social Policy (2013)
The main drive of this study is to investigate how urban public primary schools promote health in Turkey with a qualitative study conducted in a middle-sized urban school, in Ankara. The current health promotion practices in Turkish urban public primary schools were examined through a case study utilizing semi-structured interviews conducted with 9 classroom teachers, 2 school administrators, 2 parents that are parent-teacher association members and 2 canteen operators. In addition, a classroom activity was...
