In order to characterize the behavior of a main gate during retreating of longwall faces and to evaluate the performances of five different support types, including rock bolts and steel sets, a total of 21 convergence and 18 floor-heave stations were installed. Consequently, about 11,500 convergence and 7200 floor-heave data points were obtained over a period of 14 months. In order to simulate the behavior of a supported main gate roadway, a convergence model, represented by an exponential function, was developed on the basis of statistical analyses. In addition to the convergence model, convergence-velocity and convergence-acceleration models were also derived and interpreted in terms of gate road behavior. It was determined that the convergence depends on the loading region, the time, the location of the upper and lower longwall faces, the support type and pattern, and the static and dynamic support loads. Convergence-velocity and acceleration curves provide better means to interpret the performance of supports and gate roadway behavior.

Experimental Determination of Resistance Characteristics of Support Details Used in Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders Baran, Eray; French, Catherine; Schultz, Arturo (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-09-01) Static load tests were performed on support details used at the ends of prestressed concrete pedestrian bridge girders to determine the resistance characteristics of girder supports in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the girders. The specimens tested represent support details that have also been widely used in prestressed concrete highway bridges in Minnesota and in other states. Two specimens, one representing the free-end detail and one representing the restrained-end detail were s...
A numerical study on local buckling and energy dissipation of CHS seismic bracing Kusyilmaz, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) Seismic provisions for steel buildings present limiting width-thickness and slenderness ratios for bracing members, most of which were established based on experimental observations. A finite element study has been undertaken to evaluate these limits for pin-ended circular hollow section (CHS) steel braces. Uncertainties in modeling and quantification arise in the simulation of cyclic brace buckling. A finite element modeling procedure was developed and calibrated using existing experimental data. Sensitivi...
Investigation of strenghthening techniques using pseudo-dynamic testing Kurt, Efe Gökçe; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Pseudo-dynamic testing was employed to observe the seismic performance of three different retrofit methods on two story three bay reinforced concrete frame structures. The three test frames have hollow clay tile (HCT) infills in the central bay. All of the test frames represent the seismic deficiencies of the Turkish construction practice such as use of plain reinforcing bars, low strength concrete and insufficient confining steel. Two non-invasive and occupant friendly retrofit schemes suggested in the Tur...
A numerical study on response factors for steel wall-frame systems Arslan, Hakan; Topkaya, Cem (Wiley, 2010-11-01) A numerical investigation was undertaken to evaluate the response of dual structural systems that consisting of steel plate shear walls and moment-resisting frames. The primary objective of the study was to investigate the influence of elastic base shear distribution between the wall and the frame on the global system response. A total of 10 walls and 30 wall frame systems, ranging from 3 to 15 stories, were selected for numerical assessment. These systems represent cases in which the elastic base shear res...
An investigation of liquefaction effects on piers and piles of segmental precast balanced cantilever bridges Gündüz, Özer; Caner, Alp; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019) In this thesis, the seismic behavior of a typical segmental precast balanced cantilever bridge over liquefiable soils is investigated. Liquefaction is a phenomenon that is triggered by large movements of the sand layer during earthquakes and cause damage to structures. The subject is still under investigation, approaches for liquefaction induced lateral spreading calculations can be found in the literature. Inertial and kinematic effects of the lateral spreading were studied with a total of four different a...
