Structural identification, damage detection by non-destructive tests and determining axial loads in cables
Yücel, Mustafa Can; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Damage and condition identification of existing structures using non-destructive tests is a common challenge that has been worked on for a long time. In this study, two different methods were developed to find existing force on cables as well as determine bending characteristics (EI coefficients) of beam like structures (such as bridges). Comparing forces in symmetrically placed cables or against values obtained from design drawings would indicate structural imbalance as well as finding EI coefficients at a number ...
Structural monitoring of andirap bridge for overload passage
Türer, Ahmet (2009-01-01)
Andirap bridge is located over Seyhan river passing a deep valley and has a big strategic importance since heavy loaded trucks carrying excavation and fill material from Kavsak Bendi hydroelectric power plant construction site have to use the bridge. Serious concerns were raised since Andirap bridge may not be adequately strong to carry about 250 trucks per day, each weighting more than 50 tons for the coming next two years. A preliminary visual and analytical evaluation of the bridge has leaded instrumente...
Structural Performance and Power Production of Wind Turbine Systems with Bend-Twist Coupled Blades in Underrated Wind Conditions
Şener, Özgün; Kayran, Altan (2018-01-12)
The implementation of bend-twist coupling effect on wind turbine blades on the structural performance and power production of wind turbine system exposed to underrated wind conditions are studied. The structural performance of wind turbine systems are evaluated by the decrease in damage equivalent loads in the whole wind turbine system and reduction in maximum fiber direction stresses in the blades with the exploitation of off-axis plies in the main spar caps of the wind turbine blades. Wind turbine models ...

Structural identification-based condition assessment: A demonstration of methods applied to a laboratory scale model testbed
Helmicki, A.; Lenett, M.; Greisman, A.; Türer, Ahmet; Hunt, V.; Aktan, A.e. (null; 1999-12-01)
This paper reports on results from an ongoing project to study structural identification-based approaches to the condition assessment of constructed facilities. Under such an approach baseline and sequentially identified system models would be used comparatively to track changes in system parameters and to infer the onset, location, and extent of structural damage, deterioration, and/or defects. As part of the initial phases of this research a scale model grid representing a steel girder highway bridge was ...
