This paper presents the effect of freezing-thawing on self consolidating concrete (SCC) that contains different percentages of fly ash (FA) and air entraining agents (AEA). The effect of freezing-thawing on concrete is assessed on the basis of the change in the dynamic modulus of elasticity. The dynamic modulus of elasticity is determined from both ultrasonic pulse velocity and resonant frequency tests. An in-house resonant frequency test apparatus was developed using an accelerometer and a data acquisition system. During the development of the test apparatus, structural eigenvalue analysis was also utilized to understand if the correct modal frequency of cylindrical test specimens is detected or not. The dynamic modulus of elasticity is then used to compute the durability factor of SCC specimens that are subjected to freezing-thawing cycles. The relationship between durability factor – FA – AEA content was evaluated, and the highest degree of reduction in durability factor was observed at mixes including maximum FA content, and no AEA and maximum AEA content. Furthermore, when FA was used in the range of certain limits, it was observed that SCC specimens were resistant to freezing-thawing cycles.

Self-healing of mechanically-loaded self consolidating concretes with high volumes of fly ash Sahmaran, Mustafa; Keskin, Serhat; Ozerkan, Gozde; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2008-11-01) This article discusses the effects of self-healing on self consolidating concretes incorporating high volumes of fly ash (HVFA-SCC) when subjected to continuous water exposure. For this purpose, self consolidating concretes with fly ash replacement ratios of 0%, 35%, and 55% were prepared having a constant water-cementitious material ratio of 0.35. A uniaxial compression load was applied to generate microcracks in concrete where cylindrical specimens were pre-loaded up to 70% and 90% of the ultimate compres...
Mechanical properties, durability, and life-cycle assessment of self-consolidating concrete mixtures made with blended portland cements containing fly ash and limestone powder Çelik, Kemal; Akgül, Çağla; Gursel, A. Petek; Mehta, P Kumar; Horvath, Arpad; Monteiro, Paulo JM (2015-02-01) This paper reports the composition and properties of highly flowable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures made of high proportions of cement replacement materials such as fly ash and pulverized limestone instead of high dosage of a plasticizing agent or viscosity-modifying chemical admixtures. Self-consolidating concrete mixtures are being increasingly used for the construction of highly reinforced complex concrete elements and for massive concrete structures such as dams and thick foundation. In this...
Investigation of process-affected zone in ultrasonic embossing of microchannels on thermoplastic substrates Sucularli, Ferah; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir; Yıldırım, Ender (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) In this paper, the process-affected zone in ultrasonically embossed thermoplastic substrates is investigated both numerically and experimentally. Commercialization of microfluidic devices challenges the need for high-speed manufacturing of plastic chips. Ultrasonic embossing is considered as an alternative method since the cycle time can be as low as a few seconds per chip while keeping the cost relatively low. To examine the ultrasonic embossing process, experiments were carried out to replicate 200 mu m w...
Investigation of fly ash characteristics on zeolite 4A synthesis Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019) There is lack of information about the relation between the candidate raw material fly ash and end product, Zeolite 4A.This study aims to fill the gap in the literature through controlled ash production experiments, characterization studies and Zeolite 4A synthesis. As a result of studies, the nucleation behaviour of the alkali fusion product obtained from fly ash was demonstrated and the most crystalline Zeolite 4A with cubic morphology were obtained from Seyitömer fly ash with alkali fusion product of Si/...
Evaluation of seismic response factors for BRBFs using FEMA P695 methodology Ozkihc, Yasin Onuraip; Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01) This paper reports the details of a numerical study undertaken to evaluate seismic response factors for steel buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) using the FEMA P695 methodology. In the United States, BRBFs are designed according to Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341). Twenty-four archetypes were designed according to the U.S. specifications and their behavior was assessed by making use of non-simulated c...
