Reliability analysis of a rock slope in Sumela monastery, Turkey, based on discrete element and response surface methods
Dadashzadeh, Neda; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Department of Mining Engineering (2015)
It is widely recognized that a single factor of safety (FOS) calculated by traditional deterministic analysis methods may not represent slope safety due to involved uncertainties. The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) is one of the extensively used probabilistic methods in slope stability studies to quantify the uncertainties in the parameters. FORM can be easily applied when the slope is analyzed based on limit equilibrium methods. However, the recent numerical techniques are almost substituted by the ...
Uncertainty based analysis of seepage through earth-fill dams
Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
The steady-state and transient seepage through embankment dams are investigated considering the uncertainty of hydraulic conductivity and van Genuchten fitting parameters, α and n used for unsaturated flow modeling. A random number generation algorithm producing random values for these parameters is coupled with a finite element software, SEEP/W to analyze seepage through earth-fill dams. Monte Carlo simulation is adopted for stochastic seepage analyses. The variability effects of the random parameters on s...
Reliability based safety level evaluation of Turkish type precast prestressed concrete bridge girders designed in accordance with the load and resistance factor design method
Argınhan, Oktay; Caner, Alp; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
The main aim of the present study is to evaluate the safety level of Turkish type precast prestressed concrete bridge girders designed according to American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Load and Resistance Factor Design (AASHTO LRFD) based on reliability theory. Span lengths varying from 25 m to 40 m are considered. Two types of design truck loading models are taken into account: H30S24-current design live load of Turkey and HL93-design live load model of AASHTO LRFD. The statis...
Reliability of Dragline’s Subsystems
Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (null; 2013-04-19)
Systems are functional mechanisms, intending to perform a specific task in a defined time period. During the operations of systems, it is encountered with the imperative shutdowns due to external and internal considerations. Retrospective data covering the causes of the shutdowns and their durations can help to predict the time-dependent reliability amounts of the system, detect the critical parts, and improve the maintenance and repair plans. Reliability analyses, especially common at the industries in nee...
