Generalized reliability model for local scour around bridge piers of various shapes
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2001-10-01)
Excessive local scour around piers and abutments is known as a major cause of bridge failure induced by hydraulic deficiencies. Complexity of the scouring phenomenon and high degrees of uncertainties in governing parameters lead to an unavoidable risk in bridge pier design. In this paper, a generalized reliability model based on static resistance-loading interference is developed for the assessment of reliability of bridge scour for various pier shapes. In the model, the relative maximum scour depth and the...
Generalized random spreading performance analysis of CDMA over GWSSUS fading channels
Ertuğ, Özgür; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Since direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) is an interference-limited random multiple-access scheme, the reduction of co-channel interference with either interference suppression or interference cancellation multiuser receivers and/or power control to prevent detrimental near-far situations is vital for improved performance. Up to date, some contributions investigated randomly-spread asymptotically - large number of users and large bandwidth - large CDMA systems with multiuser receivers a...
Generalized fragility curves for earthquake insurance premiums
Ekici, Melis Aysun; Yakut, Ahmet; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Department of Earthquake Studies (2015)
Since there are three major earthquake lines on Anatolia which are North Anatolian Fault, East Anatolian Fault and West Anatolian Fault, earthquake is one of the most important issue for Turkey. Following the damages of Kocaeli (1999) Earthquake to our economy, importance of earthquake insurance was understood and therefore Compulsory Earthquake Insurance was put into action. However, for the calculation of insurance premiums which were specified by Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP), only type of bu...
Generalized Model of Modular Two Element Compensated IPT Systems with Common DC-Bus
Ayaz, Enes; Altun, Ogün; Polat, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan (2022-01-01)
In this paper, modular IPT systems which have receiver series/parallel compensation with series/parallel common DC-Bus are investigated. For these systems, power sharing between the receiver modules is vulnerable to system components such as the mutual coupling between the transmitter and the receiver coils. It is also observed that the power sharing is affected by the compensation topologies of the receivers and the type of the electrical connection of common DC-Bus. Therefore, in this study, a mathematica...
Simplified MAP estimator for OFDM systems under fading
Cueruek, Selva Muratoglu; Tanık, Yalçın (2007-04-25)
This paper presents a simplified Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimator, which yields channel taps in OFDM systems under fading conditions using a parametric correlation model, assuming that the channel is frequency selective, slowly time varying and Gaussian. Expressions for the variance of estimation error are derived to evaluate the performance of the MAP estimator. The relation between the correlation of subchannels taps and error variance and the effect of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are investigated. Th...
