Ismailov, Kadyrbek
Structural identification (St-Id) and dynamic analysis have been crucial in civil engineering structures, mainly buildings and bridges. In order to observe the vibrations of structures, networks of high-sensitivity sensors have been used. There are several limitations of such monitoring systems including cost, labor, number of sensors, and installation. A recent method called phase-based video magnification can be utilized in civil engineering to have a practical visual approach instead of array of sensors. This method will be useful especially for tall and long structures like skyscrapers and long span bridges where distance between sensors is a problem for data acquisition. Furthermore, video based modal testing is more convenient; number and spatial distribution of pixels is advantageous. Use of HD video as an input and magnification of tiny motions, which are not seen by naked eyes, are studied in this thesis. The phase-based video magnification algorithm is used and improved to obtain resonant mode shapes and frequencies of simple structures through video based spectral analysis. Simple ruler and cello wire vibrations and two pedestrian bridges were used as test structures to validate results directly obtained from video recordings.

A Web based multi user framework for the design and detailing of reinforced concrete frames - beams
Anıl, Engin Burak; Kılıç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Structural design of reinforced concrete structures requires involvement of many engineers who contribute to a single project. During the design process engineers have to exchange wide variety of information. Unmanaged data exchange may result in loss of resources. Developing a data model and setting up protocols for the management of data related to various structural design tasks can help to improve the quality of the structural design. In this study, an object oriented data model was developed for reinfo...
Seismic vulnerability, behavior and design of tunnel form building structures
Balkaya, C; Kalkan, E (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01)
Multi-story reinforced concrete tunnel form buildings are one of the common structural types in regions prone to high seismic risk due to the buildings inherent earthquake resistance and ease of construction. Despite their good performance during earthquakes in 1999 in Turkey, and abundance of such structures scattered worldwide, current seismic codes and design provisions provide insufficient guidelines for their seismic design. As a compensatory measure, a series of modal and nonlinear static analyses are...
Developing a strategic information system for construction companies
Güneş, Tanyeli; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Department of Civil Engineering (2008)
Problems and issues at project level have been the main concern of the construction management studies and construction professionals. Consequently, the long-term strategic issues at corporate level remained uncovered in construction companies. The complex and unique characteristics of the industrial context of construction also limited the adoption of strategic management concepts by the companies. Recently, however, changing business environment, increasing competition in construction arena and higher cli...
Analytical investigation of aashto lrfd response modification factors and seismic performance levels of circular bridge columns
Erdem, Arda; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Current seismic design approach of bridge structures can be categorized into two distinctive methods: (i) force based and (ii) performance based. AASHTO LRFD seismic design specification is a typical example of force based design approach especially used in Turkey. Three different importance categories are presented as “Critical Bridges”, “Essential Bridges” and “Other Bridges” in AASHTO LRFD. These classifications are mainly based on the serviceability requirement of bridges after a design earthquake. The ...
Evaluation of steel building design methodologies: TS648,Eurocode 3 and LRFD
Zervent, Altan; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
The aim of this study is designing steel structures with the same geometry, material and soil conditions but in the different countries, and comparing these designs in terms of material savings. According to three steel building codes, namely TS 648, LRFD, Eurocode 3, same structures with various stories (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) are analyzed and designed. To calculate the design loads, Turkish Earthquake Code 2007 and Turkish Standard 498 (Design Load for Buildings) are utilized when TS 648 is applied. When LRF...
