Reliability of lifeline networks with multiple sources under seismic hazard
Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2000-01-01)
Lifelines are networks extending spatially over large areas. Transportation systems, pipelines, communication and power transmission systems are examples of lifelines. The performance of a lifeline after a major earthquake is particularly vital for a community because of the emergency services that are usually required after such events. Performance measures are usually expressed in terms of quantities that are assessed based on statistical and probabilistic methodologies. The major performance measure is t...
Reliability of transportation lifeline systems subjected to earthquake loads
Topkara Özcan, Naz; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
Lifelines, such as highway, gas, water and power distribution systems, are networks which extend spatially over large geographical regions. The assessment of the reliability of a lifeline under seismic loads requires particular attention, since the proper functioning of these systems during or after a destructive earthquake is very important. The main objective of this study is to investigate the system reliability of lifeline networks subjected to earthquake loads by concentrating on highway systems consis...
Reliability of Dragline’s Subsystems
Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (null; 2013-04-19)
Systems are functional mechanisms, intending to perform a specific task in a defined time period. During the operations of systems, it is encountered with the imperative shutdowns due to external and internal considerations. Retrospective data covering the causes of the shutdowns and their durations can help to predict the time-dependent reliability amounts of the system, detect the critical parts, and improve the maintenance and repair plans. Reliability analyses, especially common at the industries in nee...
Performance of seismic-isolated bridges in relation to near-fault ground-motion and isolator characteristics
Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-11-01)
This paper investigates the performance of seismic-Isolated bridges (SIBs) subjected to near-fault (NF) earthquakes with forward rupture directivity effect (FRDE) in relation to the isolator, substructure, and NF earthquake properties, and examines some critical design clauses in AASHTO's Guide Specifications for Seismic Isolation Design. It is found that the SIB response is a function of the number of velocity pulses, magnitude of the NF ground motion, and distance from the fault. Particularly, a reasonabl...
Performance of combined cycle power plants with external combustion
Doğan, Osman Tufan; Yeşin, Tülay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
Externally Fired Combined Cycle (EFCC) is a recent tcehnology which utilizes coal as the primary fuel a gas turbine cycle. EFCC is among the clean coal technologies aiming at improving the coal combustion performance in a cost effective and environmentally friendly manner. Natural gas is used as the supplementary fuel. The ultimate goal of the EFFC concept is coal onyl option, since natural gas can better be utilized in a modern Gas Turbine Combined Cycle (CCGT) plant. In this study, performance of the EFCC...
