Fire vulnerability assessment of architectural design parameters with fuzzy logic model Kızılkaya, Nilüfer; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2016) There is a direct relationship between building characteristics and fire spread. Acceptability of fire safety design involves interoperability of fire safety objectives and building design input. In case of unacceptable fire safety design process, modifications are made in proposed building design parameters for which architects are decision makers. Therefore, in order to get an acceptable level of fire safety, vulnerability of building design parameters must be identified during the design process by archi...
Fire Retardant Properties of Intumescent Polypropylene Composites Filled With Calcium Carbonate Isitman, Nihat Ali; Dogan, Mehmet; Bayramli, ERDAL; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2011-05-01) This study was aimed to investigate the influence of calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)), a widely used filler, on the fire retardancy of intumescent polypropylene composites. Two intumescent systems based on (1) mixture of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol and (2) surface-modified APP (m-APP) were examined. In terms of steady heat release rate, total heat evolved, and fire growth index determined by mass loss calorimetry, m-APP performed markedly superior to APP-pentaerythritol. The presence of CaCO...

SEISMIC RISK ASSESSMENT OF AN INSTRUMENTED REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDING PAÇARIZI, FURKAN; Çelik, Ozan Cem; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-11) The expected seismic performance of existing buildings during future earthquakes is always a concern for public administrations in pre- and post-earthquake planning as well as for general public. Seismic risk of these buildings, whether they will fulfill different performance-based design objectives when subjected to earthquake ground motions of different intensities, has to be evaluated. Such an evaluation for an existing building requires an accurate finite element model of the building. This study ...
