A methodology for reliability-based design of rock slopes
DUZGUN, HSB; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Karpuz, Celal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-04-01)
A reliability-based methodology for the design of rock slopes, that can easily be implemented by the practicing engineers is proposed. The advanced first-order second-moment (AFOSM) method is adopted as the reliability assessment model and its application is illustrated for the case of plane failure. A model is developed within the framework of first-order second-moment approach to analyze the uncertainties underlying the in situ shear strength properties of rock discontinuities. Here, particular emphasis i...
A Methodology for real-time sensor-based blockage assessment of building structures during earthquakes
Ergin, Tuluhan; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
During and after earthquakes, occupants inside a damaged building should be evacuated rapidly and safely whereas related units outside the buildings (e.g. first responders) should know the current condition of the building. Obviously, this information should be as accurate as possible and accessed timely in order to speed up the evacuation. Unfortunately, absence of such information during evacuation and emergency response operations results in increased number of casualties. Hence, there arises a need for ...
A methodology for calculating hydraulic system reliability of water distribution networks
Mısırdalı, Metin; Merzi, Nuri; Department of Civil Engineering (2003)
A completely satisfactory water distribution network should fulfill its basic requirements such as providing the expected quality and quantity of water with the desired residual pressures during its lifetime. A water distribution network should accommodate the abnormal conditions caused by failures. These types of failures can be classified into two groups; mechanical failures and hydraulic failures. Mechanical failure is caused due to malfunctioning of the network elements such as pipe breakage, power outa...
A methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale wet and dry CSP systems
Uzgoren, Eray; Timur, Eray (2015-06-25)
This study presents a methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale concentrated solar power (CSP) systems for its energy conversion efficiency and make-up water requirement. Energy conversion efficiency of CSPs relies not only on the level of direct solar radiation but also on the performance of the cooling system. Regions with high solar potential have to deal with heat rejection at elevated temperatures which causes reduced energy conversion efficiencies due to high condenser temperatures. ...
A Quantitative Approach for Rapid Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Steel Highway Bridges
Dicleli, Murat (1997-01-01)
While methodologies exist which allow to rapidly identify the seismically deficient bridges and rank them in terms of their respective vulnerability, it remains that the bridge vulnerability aspect of these methodologies is crude and generally limited to simple recognition of undesirable structural features known to have performed inadequately in past earthquakes. Thus, bridges sharing such features would also share the same rating, independently of variations in geometry and other structural properties. As...
