This paper presents a simplified third-generation wind-wave model called METUS3. The model incorporates all third-generation model properties. It accounts for wave energy input from wind. nonlinear energy transfer due to wave-wave interactions, and energy dissipation due to wave breaking and bottom friction. Furthermore, it includes an efficient and simple representation of wave propagation. The model is applicable to water bodies of unlimited water depths of constant finite water depths without any adjustment. Several applications of METUS3 are presented, including one storm over the Sea of Marmara and three other storms over the Adriatic Sea. The model predictions show good agreement with observations and predictions of the more complicated third generation models such as METU3 or WAM. In its present version, the model assumes constant wind properties along characteristics covering the fetch area, which may be a limitation for extremely nonhomogeneous wind fields over very large water bodies. METUS3 can be used efficiently for standard engineering applications on personal computers.

Numerical integration of a class of 3d plastic-damage concrete models and condensation of 3d stress-strain relations for use in beam finite elements Sarıtaş, Afşin (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01) This paper presents a method for the integration of a class of plastic-damage material models. The integration of the evolution equations results in a nonlinear problem, which is linearized and solved with the Newton-Raphson method using a sub-stepping strategy. The consistent tangent matrix can be formulated either in terms of the stress components in a general reference system or in terms of the principal stress and strain components with the former then transformed to the general reference system. In ord...
Simplified model for computer-aided analysis of integral bridges Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2000-08-01) This paper presents a computer-aided approach for the design of integral-abutment bridges. An analysis procedure and a simplified structure model are proposed for the design of integral-abutment bridges considering their actual behavior and load distribution among their various components. A computer program, for the analysis of integral-abutment bridges, has been developed using the proposed analysis procedure and structure model. The program is capable of analyzing an integral-abutment bridge for each con...
A method in model updating using Miscorrelation Index sensitivity Kozak, Mustafa Tuğrul; Öztürk, Murat; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) This paper presents a new model updating method based on minimization of an index called Miscorrelation Index (MCI), which is introduced to localize the coordinates carrying error in a finite element (FE) model. MCI can be calculated from measured frequency response functions (FRFs) and dynamic stiffness matrix of the FE model for each coordinate as a function of frequency. Nonzero numerical values for MCI of a coordinate indicate errors in one or more elements of the system matrices corresponding to this c...
Reference database for seismic ground-motion in Europe (RESORCE) AKKAR, SİNAN; SANDIKKAYA, M. A.; SENYURT, M.; SISI, A. Azari; Ay, Bekir Özer; TRAVERSA, P.; DOUGLAS, J.; COTTON, F.; LUZI, L.; HERNANDEZ, B.; GODEY, S. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-02-01) This paper presents the overall procedure followed in order to assemble the most recent pan-European strong-motion databank: Reference Database for Seismic Ground-Motion in Europe (RESORCE). RESORCE is one of the products of the SeIsmic Ground Motion Assessment (SIGMA; projet-sigma.com) project. RESORCE is intended to be a single integrated accelerometric databank for Europe and surrounding areas for use in the development and testing of ground-motion models and for other engineering seismology and earthqua...
Prediction of Elastic Moduli Development of Cement Mortars Using Early Age Measurements Deniz, Saygin; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-01-01) This paper presents an investigation of the time development of dynamic and static elastic moduli of eight mortars made using CEM I cements with contrasting properties. Mixing and the preparation of dynamic testing prism specimens conformed to European standards. A nonstandard specimen and bending test setup was devised for measuring the development of a static Young's modulus. It was determined that dynamic Young's moduli determined using an ultrasonic pulse velocity test are often, but not always, greater...
