Reduction of dynamic earth loads on flexible cantilever retaining walls by deformable geofoam panels
ERTUĞRUL, ÖZGÜR LÜTFİ; Trandafir, Aurelian C.; Özkan, M. Yener (2017-01-01)
The potential application of geofoam in reducing the dynamic earth forces on flexible cantilever earth retaining walls was investigated through small-scale physical model tests. Tests were carried out using a state-of-the-art laminar container and a uniaxial shaking table. Deformable geofoam panels of low stiffness made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS) geofoam were utilized as compressible inclusions in the present study. The dynamic stress-strain properties of these geomateria...
Effect of approach channel shape on theformation of vortices at single-horizontal intakes
Sönmez, Can Metin; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
In an experimental setup of a water intake structure composed of a reservoir-pipe system, the formation of air-entraining vortices under symmetric flow conditions were investigated for different approach channel shapes. In the first set of the experiments the approach channel walls were kept parallel to each other and be perpendicular to the head-wall of the intake structure. In the following sets of the experiments these walls were located at different angles to the head-wall. A series of experiments were ...
Interaction of water molecule with silicon surfaces
Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (Elsevier BV, 1987-9)
In this work, a number of state density calculations are carried out to understand the binding states of adsorbed H2O on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces and the spectra resulting therefrom. It is found that the angle between the molecular plane and the surface normal has a drastic effect on the adsorbate states. In the light of the IR, EELS and UPS experimental results, the LDOS calculations lead to the dissociative type adsorption of H2O on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces excluding the molecular type.
Scattering of He from a Cu(110) surface
Özder, Serhat; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 1987-4)
Using the close-coupling method we have investigated the diffraction of He atoms from a Cu ( 110 ) surface. Interaction between He and the copper surface is represented by a corrugated Mie-type potential. The softness parameter β is “optimized” for a given incident energy (Ei) and incident angle (θi) so as to reproduce the experimental results. An empirical expression for the softness parameter β(Ei, θi) is obtained. Our results are in good agreement with previous calculations and experimental observations.
Formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal intakes without approach flow induced circulation
Göğüş, Mustafa; Köken, Mete (2016-02-01)
The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effects of hydraulic parameters on the formation of air-entraining vortices at horizontal intake structures without approach flow induced circulation. Six intake pipes of different diameters were tested in the study. The intake pipe to be tested was horizontally mounted to the front side of a large reservoir and then for a wide range of discharges experiments were conducted and critical submergences were detected with adjustable approach channel sidew...
