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 failure induced by scouring around dual piers is estimated for various pier spacing using probabilistic analysis. The effects of changes in the coefficient of variation of probabilistic scouring variables and probability distributions on the probability of the loss of stability, are also investigated. It was established that the effects of variations in the coefficient of variation on the probability of the loss of stability are more significant compared to that on the probability distributions of the scour depth.

Upgrading of slab-column connections using fiber reinforced polymers Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01) The results of an experimental program on upgrading of reinforced concrete slab-column connections subjected to monotonic shear and unbalanced moment transfer are presented in this study. Externally installed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) stirrups acting as shear reinforcement around the slab-column connection area were used with two patterns of CFRP arrangements. It was found that the proposed method resulted in punching shear capacity increases up to 60% relative to the specimen without any stren...
Performance of a precast concrete beam-to-beam connection subject to reversed cyclic loading Korkmaz, HH; Tankut, T (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01) This study was performed as one phase of an extensive research program focusing on the seismic behaviour of precast connections carried out in Middle East Technical University. The primary objective of the research program was to observe and investigate the seismic behaviour of the connection detail proposed by the collaborating company and the specimens with improved details, in order to develop a 11 moment resisting precast concrete beam-to-beam connection". In this study, six beam-beam connection subasse...
Reduction of scouring depth by using inclined piers Bozkuş, Zafer (Canadian Science Publishing, 2010-12-01) The aim of this experimental study is to examine the effect of inclination of dual bridge piers on scour depth under clear-water conditions for various uniform flow depths. Duration of 4 h was used in the experiments for each run. Scour depths were measured at four different points around the piers. The depths of local scour around inclined piers were found to be substantially smaller than the scour depths around vertical piers. Dimensional and nondimensional curves were developed and presented to show the ...
Strength and stiffness of floor trusses fabricated from cold-formed steel lipped channels Dizdar, Cagan; Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-15) This paper reports findings of an experimental study on floor trusses fabricated from cold-formed steel lipped channel sections. In design, the members of these trusses are generally considered as pin-ended and their capacities are assessed under pure compressive and tensile loads by making use of commonly accepted design specifications. Seventeen full-scale floor trusses were experimentally investigated through four point bending tests. Thickness of lipped channels, number of connection fasteners, and type...
Seismic design of lifeline bridge using hybrid seismic isolation Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2002-03-01) This paper presents the merits of a hybrid seismic isolation system used for the seismic design of a major bridge. The bridge is analyzed for two different arrangements of seismic isolation systems. The first arrangement consists of friction pendulum bearings at all substructure locations; the other incorporates a hybrid system where laminated elastomeric bearings are used at the abutments and friction pendulum bearings at the piers. Analysis results have demonstrated that the hybrid seismic isolation syste...
