Uncertainty propagation and its impact on earth-fill dam failures Övenler, D.D.; ZAİFOĞLU, HASAN; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2026-08-01) Dam failures represent a significant hazard to downstream, particularly when combined with extreme hydrological inputs and uncertainties in breach development. In this study, a comprehensive hydrological and dam breach mod...
Fully Stochastic Seepage Analysis through Spatially Randomly Distributed Embankment Dams Bakar, Urun; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2026-05-01) Spatial random field applications of soil properties integrated with finite element modeling tools are substantial in civil engineering to delineate stochastic characteristics of system responses that reflect real site con...
Probabilistic modeling of dam failure scenarios: a case study of Kanlikoy Dam in Cyprus Turkel, A.O.; ZAİFOĞLU, HASAN; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2024-01-01) One of the most perilous natural hazards is flooding resulting from dam failure, which can devastate downstream infrastructure and lead to significant human casualties. In recent years, the frequency of flash floods in the...
Investigation of Trends and Nonstationarity in Hydrologic Variables in the Western Black Sea Basin, Turkey Zaifoğlu, Hasan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Baduna Koçyiğit, Müsteyde (2022-08-01) Redundancy is related to the amount of functionality that the structure can sustain in the worst-case scenario of structural degradation. This paper proposes a widely-applicable concept of redundancy optimization of fin...
On the Stability of Moderate Height Berm-Type Earthen Dams: The Hancagiz Dam Example Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) This study investigates the effects of berm properties on a moderate height earthen dam stability. The impacts of different berm heights, numbers and widths on the safety of the Hancagiz Dam are determined by analyzing the...
On the Optimum Layout of a Drainage Gallery in Concrete Gravity Dams on Isotropic Foundation Daghestani, Tameem; Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2019-11-01) This study investigates the optimum location of drainage galleries of concrete gravity dams under usual, unusual, and extreme loading conditions. The uplift and the stress distributions were computed using the gravity meth...
TÜRKİYE’DE AKARSU KÖPRÜLERİ İÇİN GELİŞTİRİLMİŞ GÜVENLİK-DEĞERLENDİRME YÖNTEMİ VE UYGULAMASI Baduna Koçyiğit, Müsteyde; Akay, Hüseyin; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (null; 2019-11-01) Türkiye'de meydana gelen akarsu köprülerinin yıkılma veya ağır hasar görme olayları incelendiğinde, bu olayların genellikle taşkınlar sırasında veya hemen sonrasında yaşandığı ve çeşitli hidrolik etkenler nedeniyle meydana...
Developing flood mitigation measures for the northern part of Nicosia Zaifoglu, H.; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Akintug, B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-09-01) This study aims to examine a set of alternatives as remedial measures for the flood management purposes in order to protect the northern part of Nicosia which has been affected by major flooding events in recent years. In ...
Development of a Safety-Inspection Method for River Bridges in Turkey Akay, Huseyin; Kocyigit, Musteyde Baduna; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (MDPI AG, 2019-09-01) In this paper, findings of a research project about river bridges in Turkey are shared and details of the developed safety-inspection method based on hydrological and hydraulic factors are presented. In the project, the We...
Reliability-based evaluation of scouring around dual bridge piers Yilmaz, Meric; Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Croatian Association of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-01) The causes of uncertainty involved in temporal variation of the depth of cavern formation due to clear water scouring at dual piers with tandem arrangement are identified in this study. In an example, the probability of fa...
