Effect of soil and substructure properties on live-load distribution in integral abutment bridges
Dicleli, Murat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2008-09-01)
This study is aimed at investigating the effect of soil-structure interaction and substructure properties at the abutments on the distribution of live-load effects in integral abutment bridge (IAB) components. For this purpose, numerous 3D and corresponding 2D structural models of typical IABs are built and analyzed under AASHTO live-load. In the analyses, the effect of various geotechnical and substructure properties such as foundation soil stiffness, considering and neglecting the effect of backfill, back...
Effect of superstructure-abutment continuity on live load distribution in integral abutment bridge girders
Dicleli, Murat (2010-03-30)
In this study, the effect of superstructure-abutment continuity on the distribution of live load effects among the girders of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is investigated. For this purpose, two and three dimensional finite element models of several single-span, symmetrical integral abutment and simply supported (jointed) bridges (SSBs) are built and analyzed. In the analyses, the effect of various superstructure properties such as span length, number of design lanes, girder size and spacing as well as s...
Effect of drainage properties on seepage behavior of earth fill dams
Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2016-09-23)
Earth-fill dams should be designed in such a way that excessive pore water pressures and seepage are controlled for attaining the desired safety level. This type of dams can be supplemented by some drainage facilities, such as blanket and chimney drains, which are commonly composed of graded soils. The key issue in designing a drainage facility is to promote the effectiveness of the system in reducing the pore water pressures and the seepage quantity. The performance of the drainage facility is based on its...
Effect of coarse aggregate size and matrix quality on ITZ and failure behavior of concrete under uniaxial compression
Akcaoglu, T; Tokyay, Mustafa; Celik, T (2004-08-01)
Effects of coarse aggregate size and water/cement (w/c) ratio of the matrix on the formation of interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and subsequently on the failure process of concrete under uniaxial compression were studied. For this purpose, a series of experiments were designed and carried out on mortars with two different w/c ratios containing single spherical steel aggregates of different sizes. The ITZ properties and the failure process of concrete were investigated through tensile strength tests both be...
