This paper presents findings of a comparative study on the removal and disposal of fenestration units in two separate buildings, belonging to the same period and built with similar construction materials. Demolition techniques were used for removing the fenestration units from a building that was undergoing refurbishment; while, deconstruction techniques were used for dismantling similar units from another building that was being selectively demolished.

Analysis on the mechanical properties of historical brick masonry after machinery demolition Ucer, Deniz; Ulybin, Aleksey; Zubkov, Sergey; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2018-02-10) The demolition process of a historical brick masonry building in St. Petersburg, Russia was observed as a case study and research was conducted on the possibility of reusing the resultant debris, which was composed of high quality brick masonry, as new building material. Therefore, samples from the demolition debris, i.e. brick, mortar and wall pieces were collected and tested for their mechanical properties, according to Russian standards, when available, and according to International Standards for the re...
Combined-free flow over weirs and below gates Negm, AAM; Al-Brahim, AM; Alhamid, AA; Sakarya, BA; Aydın, İsmail; Ger, AM (2004-01-01) The results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of the combined flow over contracted sharp-crested rectangular weirs and below contracted sharp-crested rectangular gates are presented. The experiments are carried out in a laboratory flume using various geometrical dimensions under different flow conditions. The basic principles are employed to correlate the discharge to the relevant geometrical and hydraulic parameters in nondimensional form. The experimental data are then used to develo...
Seismic upgrade of a reinforced concrete building Bayrak, O; Binici, Barış (2001-01-01) This paper discusses results from an analytical investigation conducted to study the ductility demands imposed on reinforced concrete beams and columns of three-bay six-story reinforced concrete frames subjected to earthquake type loads. The ultimate goal of this study is to investigate and compare the behavior of Frame-NS, the ordinary moment resisting frame, and Frame-S, the special moment resisting frame designed to comply with the seismic design requirements of ACI 318-99[1], UBC-97[2], CAN A23.3-94[3] ...
Rutting behavior of asphalt concrete modified with recycled concrete aggregate Gul, Waqar Ahmad; Güler, Murat (2009-07-08) This paper describes how recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one of the most abundant waste materials that contains quality natural aggregates. RCA use in asphalt concrete not only reduces the total materials cost but also preserves natural resources by fulfilling the demand for quality aggregates in pavement constructions. However, due to variability in RCA characteristics, an evaluation of its effect on asphalt concrete performance is required. In this study, the effect of RCA content on rutting suscepti...
Seismic behavior of double walls with continuity reinforcement Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem (null; 2015-07-21) The conventional precast construction has deficiencies especially related to its connections between structural elements. Hence, its use in earthquake zones has been limited. However, the seismic performance of these systems can be improved by a semi-precast system, namely the double wall system. In this structural system, both precast and cast-in-situ concrete elements are utilized during the construction period, i.e. precast concrete shells are benefitted as a formwork to place cast-in-situ concrete. In t...
