Real modulus of elasticity of the soil usually increases with the depth of the soil due to the increase in overburden pressure. Therefore, incorporation of the effect of the soil inhomogeneity in the formulation to obtain the response of the machine foundations is an important and a necessary step. In this paper, equations that govern the dynamic behavior of the machine foundations and consider the inhomogeneity of the elastic foundation, particularly for Gibson type soil are derived by using variational principles. The coupled equations of the motion of the physical system are solved by applying iterative procedure, and the computer code developed for the numerical model can be run even on the small computers.

Assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering beneath building foundation systems Çetin, Kemal Önder; Jeremic, Boris (2012-12-01) Although there exist some consensus on seismic soil liquefaction assessment of free field level soil sites, estimating liquefaction triggering potential beneath foundations still stays as a controversial and difficult issue. Assessing liquefaction triggering potential under mat foundations requires the estimation of cyclic and static stresses and the state of the soil medium. As part of these studies, conventionally used normalized cyclic demand term, cyclic stress ratio, is to be estimated addressing the s...
Simulation of damage propagation on massiveconcrete structures, the overlapping lattice model v.s.The finite element approach Soysal, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2017-10-11) The increase in the computational power enables the performance based assessment of very large structures like concrete gravity dams. These assessments are usually carried out with the traditional finite element tools. The continuum based formulation of these analyses in the absence of costly re-meshing operations cast doubt on the performance assessment of such massive plain concrete structures given the primary output assessed for these analyses should be the crack propagation and opening on the dam body....
Pore network modeling of multiphase flow in fissured and vuggy carbonates Erzeybek, S.; Akın, Serhat (2008-11-10) Carbonate reservoirs have more complex structures than silicate reservoirs because of depositional and digenetic features. Secondary porosity enhancements due to fracturing or dissolution processes result complex porosity systems and thus complex flow patterns. Carbonates may contain not only matrix and fracture but also the vugs and cavities that are irregular in shape and vary in size from millimeters to centimeters in diameter. Although many of these vugs appear to be isolated from fractures, the mechani...
Opportunities and challenges in using soil moisture from cosmic ray neutron sensing for rainfall-runoff modelling Duygu, Mustafa Berk; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9-08) Retrieving or estimating soil moisture is one of the most important elements of hydrology, since most of the hydrological studies consider the absence (drought) or excessiveness (flood) of water stored in the soil. Water stored in a basin has a very strong relation with the amount of soil moisture thus knowing the soil moisture significantly facilitates the estimation of other parameters of the hydrological cycle. For agricultural decision making systems, it is also vital to know whether the plants receive ...
Comparative study of soil water characteristic curve prediction methods Ahmadiadli, Mohammad; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Kürkçü, Mefküre Gamze (2012-06-30) The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), which defines the relation between soil suction and water content, plays a key role in geotechnical studies of the unsaturated soils. Some researchers such as Brooks & Corey (1968), Van Genuchten (1982) and Fredlund& Xing (1994) have proposed curve fitting equations for SWCC. Fitting equations to the laboratory test data obtained from direct measurement of water content versus changes in matric suction is the most reliable method, but it is expensive and time cons...
