Negative effects of salt weathering on porous building materials will increase because of the global climate breakdown. The addition of crystallization modifiers as desalination technique has attracted considerable scholarly attention. This study builds on this body of knowledge by investigating the effects of potassium ferrocyanide addition on air-lime mortar under different environmental conditions. Three experimental setups were selected with different curing regimes: i) molding, ii) between sandstones and iii) between salt-laden sandstones. TGA-DSC, ion chromatography, MIP and SEM were conducted to evaluate the effects of ferrocyanide on the whole salt content, lime carbonation and mortar microstructure. Its efficiency/durability under salt exposure and wet conditions were also tested. The decay after salt crystallization cycles was evaluated by comparing air permeability, open porosity, water vapor permeability, capillary porosity, ultrasonic pulse velocity, surface hardness and roughness of samples before and after these cycles. Results showed that adding ferrocyanide improved the mortar performance in all curing regimes and its efficiency continued after capillary water uptake and salt attack.

Development of silica fume-based geopolymer foams Shakouri, Sahra; Bayer, Özgür; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-11-01) Thermal insulation materials are critical for reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with buildings. A good insulation material must not only have low density and sufficient mechanical properties but also resist high temperatures and fires. In addition, its production process must be simple and inexpensive. This study describes the production of very low density (>85 kg/m(3)) inorganic foams with high porosity (<94%). Silica fume and NaOH solutions are mixed to prepare a geopolymer ...
Influence of production parameters on calcium sulfoaluminate cements Canbek, Ogulcan; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-10) The main appeal of calcium sulfoaluminate (C (S) over barA) cements is the possibility of reducing CO2 emissions. C (S) over barA clinkers can generally be produced at lower kiln temperatures and with lower limestone contents than required for portland cement clinker. However, it is important to assess the effects of various production parameters on the properties of C (S) over barA clinkers and cements. The influence of kiln maximum temperature, kiln retention time, and raw mixture proportioning on clinker...
Effect of Foundation Soil Stiffness on the Seismic Performance of Integral Bridges Dicleli, Murat (Informa UK Limited, 2011-05-01) In this study, the effect of foundation soil stiffness on the seismic performance of integral bridges (IBs) is investigated. For this purpose, nonlinear structural models of a two-span TB with four different foundation soil stiffness types (loose, medium, medium-dense and dense sands) are built. In the nonlinear structural models, nonlinear soil structure interaction including free-field effects is considered. Then, the nonlinear time history analyses of the TB models are conducted using a set of ground mot...
Effect of material characteristics on the properties of blended cements containing high volumes of natural pozzolans Turanlı, Lutfullah; Uzal, B; Bektas, F (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) The effect of three different natural pozzolans from Turkish deposits on the properties of blended cements produced by intergrinding cement clinker with a high volume of natural pozzolan (55 wt.% of the cementitious material) was investigated. The particle size distribution of blended cements, setting time, heat of hydration, and compressive strength of blended cement mortars were determined. Experimental results showed that the hardness of the pozzolanic material strongly influenced the particle size distr...
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...
