It is vital that Turkey keep abreast of developments in the world and build up its technology to become a developed country. Steel construction is one of these areas. In this context, the main purpose of this study was to define, analyze and evaluate the general characteristics of structural steel and steel construction with the purpose of throwing new light on its advantages and disadvantages. Within this framework, a literature survey was conducted on structural steel components and structures; and on steel construction in Turkey. Additionally, a case study was carried out on a steel office building in Ankara. In this, the Türkiye Esnaf ve Sanatkar Kredi Kefalet Kooperatifleri Merkez Birliği (TESKOMB) Building was investigated in terms of the design and production criteria for steel structures and to determine problems faced during these processes. As a result of this study, the existing condition of the construction sector and the means to improve use of structural steel in Turkey were discussed more realistically.

Exploration factors affecting the execution of international design projects
Fığlalı, Umut; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2005)
Economic instabilities in our country over the past few decades and improvement in communication technologies, have encouraged Turkish construction firms to utilize business opportunities in foreign countries. However, working abroad brings with it certain risks and problems. The aim of this thesis were to define and clarify problematic factors during the design stages in international design projects (IDP), to collect relevant suggested solutions and to try and determine the sources of these factors. The s...
A Study on the price escalation system in public construction contracts in Turkey
Ercan, Muhammed; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
The construction industry has a major role in the development of Turkish economy. The construction sector contributes 6-8 % of the gross domestic product of Turkey. At the same time, public investments comprise an important portion in the Turkish construction sector. Medium to large construction projects generally take over a year for completion and cost of materials and labor that are used as resources in construction projects often increase during implementation of construction projects. On the other hand...
Risk assessment of international construction projects using the analytic network process
Bu-Qammaz, Amani Suliman; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
This thesis offers a comprehensive risk assessment methodology that provides a decision support tool, directed for Turkish construction organizations, which can be utilized through the bidding decisions for international construction projects. Within this context the analytic network process technique is implemented to develop a risk assessment model, which is used to derive the relative priorities of the risk factors associated with international construction projects. The findings of the risk assessment m...
Investigation of material properties for the turkish masonry buildings /
Çobanoğlu, Adil Baran; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Unreinforced masonry construction is still widespread among many urban and rural areas, in developing countries such as Turkey. In order to prevent any loss of lives during an earthquake, ensuring the safety of these buildings is crucial. The buildings which are located in earthquake prone regions should be investigated and assessed so that necessary precautions can be taken. Therefore, several questions and concerns regarding the application of the assessment procedure, the assumptions and risk decision fo...
