Design codes specify minimum flexural reinforcement for reinforced concrete beams. With the extensive use of higher strength concrete, the empirical expressions of the past for minimum flexural reinforcement, in which the concrete strength is not considered, had to be revised. Six reinforced concrete T-beams, having small ratios of flexural reinforcement, were tested to study the behaviour at the positive moment region and to evaluate the code requirements on minimum flexural reinforcement. A criterion was set and evaluations of different minimum reinforcement requirements were made using this criterion and the test data.

Maximum length of integral bridges supported on steel H-piles driven in sand
Dicleli, Murat; Albhaisi, Suhail M. (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
This paper presents design recommendations for the maximum length of integral bridges built on sand. The maximum length limits for integral bridges is determined as a function of the ability of steel H-piles supporting the abutments to sustain thermal-induced cyclic lateral displacements and the flexural capacity of the abutment. First, steel H-pile sections that are capable of sustaining large inelastic deformations under monotonic loading are determined. Then, a low-cycle fatigue damage model is employed ...
Evaluation of minimum requirements for lap splice design
Bozalioğlu, Doğu; Canbay, Erdem; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
Minimum requirements for lap splices in reinforced concrete members, stated in building codes of TS-500 and ACI-318, have a certain factor of safety. These standards have been prepared according to research results conducted previously and they are being updated according to results of recent studies. However the reliability of lap splices for minimum requirements needs to be investigated. For this purpose, 6 beam specimens were prepared according to minimum provisions of these standards. The test results w...
Lateral buckling of overhanging crane trolley monorails
Ozdemir, Kerem Murat; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01)
Lateral torsional buckling should be taken into account during the design of overhanging steel beams. One special type of overhanging beam is the crane trolley monorail. Lateral buckling of overhanging monorails under idealized loading and boundary conditions has been studied in the past using classical mathematical procedures. This paper aims to present a detailed investigation of overhanging monorails using finite element analysis. Effects of different loading and boundary conditions were studied in detai...
Reliability-based optimization of river bridges using artificial intelligence techniques
Turan, K. Hakan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2011-10-01)
Proper bridge design is based on joint consideration of structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical conformities. An optimization-based methodology has been developed to obtain appropriate dimensions of a river bridge to meet these aspects. Structural and geotechnical design parts use a statistically-based artificial neural network (ANN) model. Therefore, relevant data were collected from many bridge projects and analyzed to form a matrix. Artificial neural network architectures are used in the objective functi...
A strategic safety management framework through balanced scorecard and quality function deployment
Gunduz, Murat; Simsek, Burak (Canadian Science Publishing, 2007-05-01)
The aim of this paper is to propose a safety management framework for construction companies. A literature review was carried out to identify significant factors that would improve safety performance. Two management tools-namely, the balanced scorecard and quality function deployment (QFD)-were used to construct the framework. Strategic goals were established for each of the following perspectives of the balanced scorecard: financial and cultural, employee, process, and learning. Afterwards, a questionnaire...
