The reliability-based model applied in this paper, provides a valuable tool in the design of coastal structures which are characterized by large failure consequences and substantial capital expenditures. Therefore, the implementation of the model to the design of rubble-mound breakwaters has an utmost importance especially in countries such as Turkey, where the use of natural stone for breakwaters is very common due to its economy. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the model by implementing it to Mersin Yacht Harbor which will be constructed near the coastal city of Mersin located on the Mediterranean Sea, and compare the results of the reliability-based model which utilizes the failure functions of Hudson and Van der Meer, with the deterministic design. Mersin Yacht Harbor construction project is a public investment administrated by the Ministry of Transportation. This study is the first application of the reliability-based design for breakwaters in Turkey (Balas, 1996). In the reliability-based model, the hydraulic stability of the main armor layer which is the most important failure mode as dislocking of the armor units under the wave attack, is described to compare the effects of failure mode response functions derived from Hudson and Van der Meer equations.

DEVELOPMENT OF STRENGTH REDUCTION FACTORS FOR PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF BRIDGES IN FAR-FAULT SEISMIC REGIONS Rabaia, Tareq Z. S.; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2021-9) In this thesis, a methodology to develop strength reduction factors for performance-based seismic design of bridges in far-fault seismic regions is presented. The presented methodology is mainly based on performing linear 5%-damped response spectrum analyses (RSA) and nonlinear time history analyses (NTHA) of bridge piers modeled as single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems. Bridge piers of both circular and rectangular sections are analyzed for wide ranges of various design parameters considering several sub...
Extra Korolev producers: their impact on production Yskak, Aidos; Parlaktuna, Mahmut; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2010) In this study, a three-dimensional, three-phase dynamic simulation model based on geological investigations of Korolev oilfield in Kazakhstan was used as a development planning tool in order to improve performance of three new wells. The model, developed previously by means of a seismic study, well log and core data, incorporating with characteristics of oilfield productivity, properties of reservoir, liquids and gases that are saturating the hydrocarbon-bearing horizon can be used to calculate development ...
Cost assessment of concrete and steel types for office buildings: An exploratory study Kanit, Recep; Ozkan, Omer; Gunduz, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) This paper presents a set of regression models which incorporates concrete and steel types in modeling the costs of office buildings. To these ends, three typical office buildings with seven and 15 stories have been designed by the help of a commercial software taking into account the Turkish practice. In each project C-16, C-20, C-25, C-30 and C-35 concrete classes and S-220 and S-420 steel types were used for dimensioning purposes. Rough construction costs were then calculated for different combinations o...
Design as a collaborative process: A systematic and constructive model for developing play material for blind/visually impaired pre-school children Evyapan, NAGZ (2002-05-17) This paper discusses a design process lived through, during the application of a model derived from design methodology and devised towards attaining a particular task. The task was: Designing a play system to contribute to the pre-school blind child’s development of object permanence, sense of self, and spatial concepts. The model employed was based on a systematic and constructive framework towards ensuring consciously made decisions. The paper also discusses the field-testing in play situations of the sys...
Development of a software suite for the structural analysis and design of concrete gravity dams Altuğ, Akman; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür (2015-06-13) In contrast to other infrastructure, there has been very limited cooperation between the industry and academia on developing the analytical tools for the design and evaluation of dams for seismic loading. This is mostly due to the complexity of the dam behavior as well as the size of these systems precluding the diffusion of academic information to the tools used by the practicing engineer due to time constraints. With the support of the Turkish National Sciences Foundation under the academia-industry coope...
