Current maintenance policies for draglines do not cover enough preventive measures. Preventive maintenance for these systems is generally implemented via inspections and corrective activities unfortunately keep their priorities in dragline maintenance. Moreover, optimalities of both inspection intervals and their implementation durations are generally underestimated and they are determined via rough estimations. However, sustainability of a dragline operation and health of system components can be improved through maintenance optimization studies including preventive activities. This type of studies requires development of representative and comparable models to measure the effectiveness of optimization. In this sense, this paper presents the simulation of current maintenance policy of the draglines in Tunçbilek coal mine in Turkey, as a preliminary stage of the maintenance optimization study. The established policy aims to reveal 1-year halt profiles of the draglines via combining deterministic halts in operations and random lifetime characteristics of the system components.

Use of theoretical waste inventories in planning and monitoring of hazardous waste management systems Yilmaz, Ozge; Can, Zehra S.; Toröz, İsmail; DOĞAN, Ozgur; Oncel, Salim; Alp, Emre; Dilek, Filiz Bengü; Karanfil, Tanju; Yetiş, Ülkü (2014-08-01) Hazardous waste (HW) generation information is an absolute necessity for ensuring the proper planning, implementation, and monitoring of any waste management system. Unfortunately, environmental agencies in developing countries face difficulties in gathering data directly from the creators of such wastes. It is possible, however, to construct theoretical HW inventories using the waste generation factors (WGFs). The objective of this study was to develop a complete nationwide HW inventory of Turkey that reli...
A cost-effective simulation algorithm for inspection interval optimization: An application to mining equipment Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (2017-11-01) In machinery maintenance policies, regular inspection intervals should be specified in such a way that the cumulative of direct and indirect financial consequences of maintenance activities should be minimized while supporting the functional health of system components. This study aims to develop a simulation algorithm, called the time-counter, to optimize inspection intervals. In the algorithm, uptime and downtime behaviors of the system components and production losses in the corrective repairs are consid...
A strategy for the implementation of water-quality-based discharge limits for the regulation of hazardous substances GÜRSOY HAKSEVENLER, BETÜL HANDE; Atasoy-Aytis, Elif; Dilaver, Mehmet; YALÇINKAYA, SEDAT; Findik-Cinar, Nur; KÜÇÜK, ELİF; PİLEVNELİ, TOLGA; Koc-Orhon, Aybala; Siltu, Esra; Gucver, Sibel Mine; Karaaslan, Yakup; Yetiş, Ülkü (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01) Many developing countries apply technology-based discharge standards that set quantitative limits on pollutant discharges. These standards do not inherently consider ambient constraints and, therefore, cannot guarantee to protect aquatic life from hazardous pollutants. It is a challenge for developing countries to enforce water-quality-based limits for wastewater discharges and guarantee the intended use of water. This study aims to develop a strategy that suits the needs of developing countries for a trans...
Energy security and Central Asian geopolitics Gündüç, Yıldırım; Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Department of Eurasian Studies (2012) Energy security has become an important part of national security policies in the last decades. Policies concerning energy security are designed and implemented in different ways by countries based on their geographical, political and economic imperatives. This thesis analyzes the securitization of energy resources in Central Asia and the roles of the US, China, India and Russia as major actors of the Central Asian energy politics in the post-Soviet period. The conditions shaping Central Asian countries dec...
Safety assessment in megaprojects using artificial intelligence Ayhan, Bilal Umut; Tokdemir, Onur Behzat (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01) Record keeping systems are gaining more importance in addressing safety problems in megaprojects. The information recorded is being converted into large data domains since it has become necessary to examine problems down to the last detail to deal with them properly. Due to a high number of attributes and the type of information, the data has a high level of heterogeneity. The aim of this paper is to propose an innovative safety assessment methodology to predict the possible scenarios and determine preventa...
