In this study, a model for predicting the life of open hole specimens with a double through the thickness fatigue cracks emanating from the fastener hole walls is suggested. The model predicts the life of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy under constant amplitude loading for varying geometries and is valuable for basic experimental evaluations dealing with crack growth from fastener holes. For the experimental verification, experimental test data under constant amplitude loading with the load ratio R=0 was extracted from the work of Crews et al. [Crews and White, 1972] published in NASA Technical Reports Server. In the experimental tests, specimens were prepared from 2024-T3 aluminum alloy plate for double through the thickness cracks embedded in an open circular hole. Stress intensity factors for different crack lengths have been calculated using the Bowie’s [Bowie, 1967] analytical solution for the available fatigue lifes in the Crew's report. Experimental data is fitted to the FORMAN equation [Forman et al, 1967] and material constants are extracted accordingly. Afterwards, using the calculated Forman equation constants of the material, the same geometry is modeled in AFGROW. Variable parameters tensile stress (σ), the radius of the rivet hole (r), and crack length (c) are considered as the parameters affecting the fatigue and faced central composite design of experiments using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is implemented. Finally, analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the RSM designs led to a regression model with a good correlation to AFGROW and experimental results

A Methodology for lining and design of circular mine shafts in different rock masses Güler, Erdoğan; Öztürk, Hasan; Department of Mining Engineering (2013) The objective of this thesis is to predict lining thickness inside circular mine shafts. A numerical study with different rock mass strengths and different in-situ non-hydrostatic stresses are carried out in 2D shaft section models to predict pressures that develop on lining support. An iterative process of applying support pressure until observing no failure zone around shaft is used to simulate lining support pressure for each individual model. Later, regression and fuzzy logic analyses are carried out to...
A detailed analysis for evaluation of the degradation characteristics of simple structural systems Kurtman, Burak; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Deterioration in the mechanical properties of concrete, masonry and steel structures are usually observed under repeated cyclic loading in the inelastic response range. Therefore such a behavior becomes critical when these types of structures are subjected to ground motions with specific characteristics. The objective of this study is to address the influence of degrading behavior on simple systems. The Structural Performance Database on the PEER web site, which contains the results of cyclic, lateral-load ...
An experimental study into bearing of rigid piled rafts under vertical loads Türkmen, Haydar Kürşat; Ergun, Mehmet Ufuk; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) In this study, the load bearing behavior of piled raft foundations is investigated performing laboratory and field tests. Piled raft foundation of a multi storey building was also instrumented and monitored in order to study the load sharing mechanism of piled raft foundations. A small reinforced concrete piled raft of 2.3 m square supported by four mini piles at the corners was loaded and contribution of the raft support up to 41 % of the total load was observed. The soil was stiff fissured Ankara clay wit...
A study on the effect of pipe - soil relative stiffness on the behaviour of buried flexible pipes Bircan, Mehmet; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) In this study, the effect of pipe-soil relative stiffness on the behaviour of buried flexible pipes was investigated considering the pipe size, material type, stiffness, pipe-soil and natural soil-backfill interfaces and geometry of the trench using the finite element method. For this purpose, a parametric study was conducted to examine the effect of different variables on the resulting earth loads and deformations imposed on the buried pipes. Various types of trench pipe-soil cases were analysed for a cert...
A computational model for reinforced concrete members confined with fiber reinforced polymer lamina: Implementation and experimental validation Mosalam, Khalid M.; Talaat, Mohamed; Binici, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2007-7) This study presents a computational model to simulate the behavior of confined concrete in column plastic hinge zones. The model describes the distribution of confining stresses within a circular column cross-section and the hysteretic behavior of concrete under passive confinement. Of particular interest is the ability of the model to predict the maximum circumferential strains and thus estimate the limit state of the confining medium rather than relying on empirical limits such as concrete compressive str...
