Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) methods were utilized in this study to identify soil profiles around Necatibey Subway Station of Kizilay-C, ayyolu metro line, Ankara, Turkey. The Necatibey Metro Station is located within the alluvial deposits of Dikmen stream and the so-called Ankara clay. At the metro station, a number of boreholes were drilled. However, due to the spacing of the boreholes the boundary between alluvium and Ankara clay deposits could not be separated precisely. Thus, in this study, ERI and GPR methods were utilized to distinguish soil types at the study area. GPR measurements were taken from a total of 14 profiles and total length of the profiles was about 320 m. For every ERI measurement section, Schlumberger Dipole-Dipole, Dipole-Dipole, Schlumberger and Wenner arrays were used. Results from the geophysical measurements identified that the fill materials are underlain by the Dikmen stream channel deposits, which consist of silty clay and gravelly sand units. The study also shows that the Dikmen stream channel deposits are underlain by the Ankara clay unit. The meaningful range of resistivity values was between 1 and 15 Omega m, and the GPR signals were strong in sandy units while they attenuated in clayey environments. Based on borehole logs, ERI and GPR data, three-dimensional lithological subsurface model of the survey area was constructed. The resultant three-dimensional diagrams may serve engineers as a practical tool during different construction stages, groundwater-surface water interactions within short and long term, and probable remedial measures.

Optimization of vibration characteristics of a radar antenna structure Baran, İsmet; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) Radar antenna structures especially array antennas which are integrated onto structures of aerial vehicles are subject to dynamic structural and aerodynamic loads. Due to occurrences of these dynamic loads there will be certain dynamic deformations which affect the antenna’s performance in an adverse manner. The influence of deformations and vibrations are important on array antenna structures, since they cause a change in orientation of elements of the phased array antenna which affects the gain of the ant...
A New Approach for Site Selection of Air Quality Monitoring Stations: Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Hacıoğlu, Halil; ARI, AKİF; Özkan, Aysun; ELBİR, TOLGA; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Yay, Ozan Devrim; Gaga, Eftade O. (2016-06-01) The main objective of this study was to choose appropriate locations for two air quality monitoring stations in an urban area in Turkey by using specific decision-making techniques. For this purpose, five different potential locations for an urban station and seven different potential locations for a rural station were evaluated according to two Multi Criteria Decision Making techniques (MCDM): Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Elimination Et Choix Traduisant la Realite III (ELECTRE III). The main inputs...
Analysis of long term trends of precipitation estimates acquired using radar network in Turkey Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (null; 2016-04-17) Precipitation estimates, a vital input in many hydrological and agricultural studies, can be obtained using many different platforms (ground station-, radar-, model-, satellite-based). Satellite- and model-based estimates are spatially continuous datasets, however they lack the high resolution information many applications often require. Station-based values are actual precipitation observations, however they suffer from their nature that they are point data. These datasets may be interpolated however such ...
Experimental Investigation of the Anti Vortex Devices of Beyhan 1 Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Water Intake Structure Göğüş, Mustafa; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Köken, Mete (2016-06-17) Hydraulic model tests of the intake structure of Beyhan 1 Dam having four units were carried out at Hydromechanics Laboratory of Middle East Technical University, Ankara In order to investigate the flow pattern, and formation, development and dissipation of vortices at the intake structure under different operation conditions of the units, and to determine the types of anti-vortex devices to avoid the air-entraining vortices, a model of 1/29.43 length scale was constructed. The model area covers an about 20...
Computation of radar cross sections of complex targets by physical optics with modified surface normals Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) In this study, a computer code is developed in MATLAB® to compute the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of arbitrary shaped complex targets by using Physical Optics (PO) and Modified PO. To increase the computational efficiency of the code, a novel fast integration procedure for oscillatory integrals, called Levin’s integration, is applied to PO integrals. In order to improve the performance of PO near grazing angles and to model diffraction effects, a method called PO with Modified Surface Normal Vectors is implem...
