This study suggests a practical method for estimating site-specific strain dependent shear modulus and damping. The method uses in-situ shear wave velocity measurements and commercial cyclic laboratory tests on higher strains (i.e., 0.5% to 1%) in which the effect of disturbance is less significant. Shear modulus calculated using in-situ shear wave velocity and at higher cyclic shear strain, is used for building a hyperbolic relationship for shear stress and strain. Modified Masing's rule and the experimental hysteretic damping at that higher strain are used to create strain dependent damping relationship. As a result, the effects of sample disturbance on lab test results are reduced, and the number of laboratory tests decreases significantly.

Experimental study on stress concentration factors in single and groups of end bearing and floating stone columns Çekinmez, Zeynep; Erol, Ahmet Orhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) In this study, small scale model tests were performed in order to observe effects of column length and undrained shear strength on settlement reduction ratios at different zones, as well as the stress concentration factor. In these tests different loading conditions, i.e. single stone column loading, unit cell loading and group loading, were studied. Stress carried by stone columns under various foundation pressures were directly measured by soil pressure transducers. Surface and subsurface settlements were...
Elastic Response of Heat Generating Rod at a Variable Generating Rate Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim; Varlı, Ekin (2014-09-28) The aim of this study is to develop a computational model to analyze thermally induced stress and deformation in a heat generating solid rod. The rod is initially at zero temperature, but for times greater than zero heat is generated internally at both space and time dependent rate. As the rod is heated up slowly an uncoupled solution is realized. The heat conduction equation with a variable generation rate is solved by a finite element collocation method. Two different generation rates are handled. The num...
Rutting Potential of Asphalt Mixtures Using Concept of Shear Resistance Güler, Murat (2006-06-12) In this study, correlation between rutting potential of hot asphalt mixtures and shear resistance is investigated using Gyratory Load Cell Plate Assembly (GLPA). The GLPA was developed to measure shear resistance of asphalt mixtures with the Superpave gyratory compactor. To demonstrate a possible correlation between shear resistance and rutting, unconfined triaxial repeated load tests were conducted on specimens compacted by varying gradation, asphalt content and fine aggregate angularity. Results of MnRoad...
LONGITUDINAL ELASTIC-WAVE PROPAGATION AND ENERGY FLUX AT A DISCONTINUITY OF 2 DISSIMILAR SEMIINFINITE CIRCULAR RODS Yıldırım, Raif Orhan (1994-10-01) Elastic wave propagation through an area discontinuity of two dissimilar, bonded, semi-infinite circular rods is investigated analytically. In particular, the variations of the coefficients of stress reflection and transmission are determined in terms of the nondimensional cross sectional area and mechanical impedance parameters. The coefficients of energy flux reflection and transmission are also included. Then, the case is generalized to include a rigid mass attached at the discontinuity.
Unified assessment of stress scaling factors for liquefaction engineering problems Çetin, Kemal Önder (2014-01-01) Most of the widely used seismic soil liquefaction triggering methods propose cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) values valid at a reference normal effective stress (σv,0) of one atmosphere, and a zero static shear stress (τst,0) state. Then a series of correction factors are applied to the CRR to account for the effects due to variations from the reference normal effective and static shear stresses (i.e., Kσ and Kα corrections). In the literature exists a number of stress correction factors used for seismic soil...
