Effects of equal and unequal circumferential pick spacing on the performance of boom type roadheaders having cylindrical cutting heads are investigated. For this purpose, two experimental cutting heads with equal and unequal circumferential spacing are designed and manufactured. The cutting head with unequal circumferential spacing is specifically designed to prevent tool-holder overlap at the nose section. Manufacturing difficulties associated with equal circumferential pick spacing due to tool-holder overlap are discussed with solid modeling and practical applications. The heads are tested at Park Cayirhan Coal Mine in Turkey and their cutting performances are analysed. Although better cutting performance for equal circumferential spacing are predicted by force-balance analysis, in situ measurements of instantaneous (net) traversing speed and cutting rate, pick consumption rate and machine vibration show that no significant difference exists between the performances of the two cutting heads.

Effect of modifying bearing fixities on the seismic response of short- to medium-length bridges with heavy substructures
Hindi, R; Dicleli, Murat (SAGE Publications, 2006-02-01)
The effect of modifying the fixity conditions of the bearings on the seismic response and vulnerability of existing bridges with heavy substructures is studied. For this purpose, nonlinear seismic analysis of a typical bridge with heavy substructures is conducted to assess its seismic response and vulnerabilities. Next, the bearings are modified to obtain four different configurations of bearing fixities over the substructures. Nonlinear seismic analyses of the bridge are conducted to assess its seismic res...
Importance of Degrading Behavior for Seismic Performance Evaluation of Simple Structural Systems
Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
This study focuses on effect of degradation characteristics on seismic performance of simple structural systems. Equivalent single degree of freedom systems are used for which the structural characteristics are taken from existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings. Simulation of degrading behavior is achieved by considering actual experimental data. To obtain the seismic response of degrading structural systems, two different approaches are used: inelastic spectral analysis and fragility analysis. Ac...
Effect of out-of-plane behavior on seismic fragility of masonry buildings in Turkey
Ceran, Hasan Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-10-01)
This study focuses on the evaluation of seismic safety of unreinforced masonry buildings in Turkey by using fragility curves generated for two behavior modes of load bearing walls: in-plane and out-of-plane. During generation of fragility curves, a force-based approach has been used. There exist two limit states in terms of base shear strength for in-plane behavior mode and flexural strength for out-of-plane behavior mode. To assess the seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry buildings in Turkey, frag...
Experimental and modelling study on nonlinear time-dependent behaviour of thin spray-on liner
Güner, Doğukan; Öztürk, Hasan (Elsevier BV, 2019-02-01)
Thin spray-on liners (TSLs) are fast-setting multi component polymeric materials applied on rock or coal surface with a thickness of 2-5 mm that have fairly high tensile strength, adhesion, and elongation capabilities. Compared to conventional surface support elements, TSLs with polymer content exhibit different material responses over time. As a matter of fact, the creep behaviour of TSLs under a constant load has a significance for the evaluation of the long term performances of TSLs. This paper investiga...
Effect of isolator and ground motion characteristics on the performance of seismic-isolated bridges
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2006-02-01)
This paper presents the effect of isolator and substructure properties as well as the frequency characteristics and intensity of the ground motion on the performance of seismic-isolated bridges (SIBs) and examines some critical design clauses in the AASHTO Guide Specification for Seismic Isolation Design. For this purpose, a parametric study, involving more than 800 non-linear time history analyses of simplified structural models representative of typical SIBs, is conducted. The results from the parametric ...
