An evaluation of material characteristics and hygrotermal performance of ecological thermal insulation materials for use in timber frame buildings
Atılgan, Ilgaz Azra; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-11-28)
The effects of thermal insulation materials with toxic properties on users and on the ecosystem have led to the search for natural thermal insulation materials. The aim of this research was to study the properties of cork, coconut fiber, and cellulose-based ecological thermal insulation materials (ETIM) and to evaluate the hygrothermal behavior of the structure by using these materials in a sample timber framed structure. The physical, thermal and hygric properties of the selected ecological thermal insula...
An investigation of liquefaction effects on piers and piles of segmental precast balanced cantilever bridges
Gündüz, Özer; Caner, Alp; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019)
In this thesis, the seismic behavior of a typical segmental precast balanced cantilever bridge over liquefiable soils is investigated. Liquefaction is a phenomenon that is triggered by large movements of the sand layer during earthquakes and cause damage to structures. The subject is still under investigation, approaches for liquefaction induced lateral spreading calculations can be found in the literature. Inertial and kinematic effects of the lateral spreading were studied with a total of four different a...
An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies
Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01)
The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...

An evaluation of Soma underground coal mine disaster with respect to risk acceptance and risk perception
Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Yaylaci, Evren D. (2016-08-19)
The underground coal mine disaster that occurred in Soma-Eynez Mine (SEM), Turkey, is one of the largest coal mine disasters of this Millennium. A fire suddenly started in the mine and could not be controlled, resulting in 301 fatalities and approximately 100 injuries. Although the cause of the fire has not yet been determined and there are various hypotheses related to the ignition of the fire, most of the casualties were mainly due to decision-making related problems in various hierarchal levels. Moreover...
