Reduction of Lateral Earth Forces Acting on Rigid Nonyielding Retaining Walls by EPS Geofoam Inclusions
ERTUĞRUL, ÖZGÜR LÜTFİ; Trandafir, Aurelian C. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-12-01)
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam panels of low stiffness installed vertically against the rigid nonyielding retaining structure provide additional deformations in the backfill. This behavior will lead to the mobilization of a greater portion of the soil strength, thus decreasing the lateral earth thrust acting on the rigid retaining wall. This study addresses the effect of geofoam compressible inclusion on lateral earth thrust acting on a rigid nonyielding retaining wall by small-scale model tests and num...
REDUCTION OF TORQUE OSCILLATIONS IN INDUCTION-MOTORS, DUE TO SWITCHING OF THE SUPPLY, BY INITIAL FLUX SETTLEMENT
NALCACI, AE (1994-04-14)
A new method for reduction of transient torques in a three phase induction motor, for starting from rest is described. In this method an initial DC current in the stator windings is necessary. The procedure to find the necessary amount of this current is explained. The method is also tested in a digital simulation and compared with one of the previously proposed methods
Reduction in alkali-silica expansion due to steel microfibers
Turanlı, Lutfullah; Shomglin, K; Ostertag, CP; Monteiro, PJM (2001-05-01)
The alkali-silica reaction (ASR) produces an expansive gel that may cause cracking and displacement in concrete structures. Steel microfibers ranging from 1% to 7% by volume of cement mortar were incorporated to reduce the expansion and cracking. All specimens contained 5% of opal by weight of fine aggregates. The samples were cast and tested according to ASTM C-1260. A considerable reduction in expansion was observed for all steel microfiber-reinforced mortar specimens compared to the control specimens wit...
Reduction of switching overvoltages by means of controlled switching
Güneri, Melih; Özay, Nevzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
This thesis analyses the controlled switching methods applied to modern SF6 type circuit breakers for the purpose of reducing switching overvoltages. Main emphasis is placed on controlled switching methods applied at extra high voltage level, since the cost of failures caused by switching overvoltages is highest in this voltage level. After a brief introduction about circuit breakers in general, switching overvoltages and controlled switching methods are analysed. Also a case study about controlled switchin...
