In a city with a population over 6 000 000, solid waste collection activities require a lot of attention. The resources used for collection and transport, trucks and labor, can be utilized more effectively if waste is transported to the disposal area via transfer stations. The location of transfer stations becomes especially important when the daily average of solid waste to be transferred is around 6 000 tons and disposal areas are at least 30 kilometres away from the metropolitan. A general mathematical programming approach with four stages is proposed to determine the locations of transfer stations. Certain modifications are required for the case considered, all resulting in a model which identifies the trade-off between costs of carrying the waste by different transportation modes. The identification of the trade-off requires the estimation of relative cost values rather than individual costs. On the basis of the results obtained, economic feasibility of different alternatives can be evaluated upon the availability of cost information. The application of the model to İstanbul is summarized together with the details of analysis.

Performance of the heuristic procedures for constrained projects with progress payments
Sepil, C; Ortac, N (Informa UK Limited, 1997-11-01)
All large scale resource constrained projects involve cash flows occurring during their life cycle. Several recent studies consider the problem of scheduling projects to maximise the net present value (NPV) of these cash flows. Their basic common assumption is that cash flows are mainly associated with specific events and they occur at event realisation times. An alternative assumption, which can be more realistic, is that cash inflows occur periodically, for example every month; as progress payments. This ...
Analysis of seismic behavior of underground structures: a case study on Bolu tunnels
Ertuğrul, Niyazi; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
In today’s world, buried structures are used for a variety of purposes in many areas such as transportation, underground depot areas, metro stations and water transportation. The serviceability of these structures is crucial in many cases following an earthquake; that is, the earthquake should not impose such damage leading to the loss of serviceability of the structure. The seismic design methodology utilized for these structures differs in many ways from the above ground structures. The most commonly util...
Geographical information systems based microzonation map of Eskişehir downtown area
Kolat, Çağıl; Doyuran, Vedat; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
The purpose of this study is to prepare a geotechnical microzonation map regarding the suitability of the residential areas in Eskisehir downtown area. In order to obtain the microzonation map, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is used. For this analysis, the slope, flood susceptibility, soil, depth to groundwater table, swelling potential and liquefaction potential layers are prepared. The weight values to the layers and rank values to the classes of each l...
THE SCHEDULING OF ACTIVITIES TO MAXIMIZE THE NET PRESENT VALUE OF PROJECTS - COMMENT
SEPIL, C (Elsevier BV, 1994-02-24)
In a recent paper, Elmaghraby and Herroelen have presented an algorithm to maximize the present value of a project. Here, with the help of an example, it is shown that the algorithm may not find the optimal solution.
A price endogenous analysis of agricultural intervention policies: The case of Turkey
Önal, Hayri (Elsevier BV, 1988-1)
Government intervenes into agricultural markets in various forms in order to achieve planned targets. The instruments used for this purpose usually have important welfare distributional effects. This article quantifies the social and economic consequences of intervention policies in a modeling framework. The model is of mathematical programming type which uses the principle of surplus maximization.
