In this study, the first hardfill dam in Turkey, Cindere Dam, is evaluated regarding current and alternative measurement systems in detail. Cindere Dam is a notable project, especially with its height as an example of hardfill dam, not only in Turkey but also in the world. First, the current instrumentation system of Cindere Dam is evaluated as a whole with reference to the parameters measured, instruments and data acquisition system. Second, an alternative instrumentation system is developed by using additional parameter and instruments to the current instrumentation system. Furthermore, each instrumentation system equipped with manual and automatic data acquisition systems is considered. The comparison between the current and the alternative instrumentation systems are also carried out in terms of technical and economical feasibility aspects. Although, the current instrumentation system is found to be satisfactory, it is observed that the alternative system promotes the current system in various aspects without increasing the cost significantly.

An integrated seismic hazard framework for liquefaction triggering assessment of earthfill dams' foundation soils Ünsal Oral, Sevinç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Within the confines of this study, seismic soil liquefaction triggering potential of a dam foundation is assessed within an integrated probabilistic seismic hazard assessment framework. More specifically, the scheme presented hereby directly integrates effective stress-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering assessment with seismic hazard analysis framework, supported by an illustrative case. The proposed methodology successively, i) processes the discrete stages of probabilistic seismic hazard workflow ...
A Methodology for Optimal Layout Design of Pressure Cells for Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams Arı, Onur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01) In this study, a methodology for optimal layout design of pressure cells for concrete faced rockfill dams is developed. A representative dimensionless stress distribution model was formed for obtaining the magnitudes and location of different stress zones as a function of dam height. This information enabled development of a procedure for proper location and the number of pressure cells throughout the dam body. A vertical placement algorithm based on error minimization was first developed, which is followed...
Active microwave remote sensing of soil moisture : a case study in Kurukavak Basin Yılmaz, Musa; Şorman, Ali Ünal; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Soil moisture condition of a watershed plays a significant role in separation of rainfall into infiltration and surface runoff, and hence is a key parameter for the majority of physical hydrological models. Due to the large difference in dielectric constants of dry soil and water, microwave remote sensing and particularly the commonly available synthetic aperture radar is a potential tool for such studies. The main aim of this study is to produce the distributed soil moisture maps of a catchment from active...
Evaluation of site conditions for the Ankara Basin of Turkey based on seismic site characterization of near-surface geologic materials Kockar, M. K.; Akgün, Haluk; Rathje, E. M. (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01) Regional site conditions relevant for seismic hazard studies can be derived from various geologic, seismologic, and geotechnical sources. In this study, site conditions are derived for the Ankara Basin in Turkey by merging in-situ seismic measurements of dynamic properties, geologic information, and some geotechnical boring information. Field seismic refraction surveys were performed at 259 sites in the project area to classify and characterize Plio-Pleistocene fluvial deposits and Quaternary alluvial and t...
Numerical simulation of unsteady flow in an oil pipeline under various hydraulic conditions Turan, Emrah; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2006) In the present study, transient flow analyses of a long oil pipeline are performed. Transient flow conditions are initiated by typical valve operations and pump trips that may be expected during operation of such pipelines. In order to simulate transient events an existing computer program called “Stoner Pipeline Simulator” has been used for a large number of hydraulic transient conditions. The program is based on the characteristics method solution of the governing water hammer equations. Locations that ma...
