Layer-parallel shortening and related structures in zones undergoing active regional horizontal extension
Şengör, Ali Mehmet Celal; Bozkurt, Erdin (2013-01-01)
Folds and thrust faults formed by layer-parallel shortening coaxial with extensional structures such as normal dip-slip faults and ductile necking structures with orthorhombic fabric symmetry are usual, but little-recognised structures formed within normal dip-slip shear zones bounding rifts. They are generated because of the shear distribution in a zone of progressive deformation and may be later extended and disrupted depending on which part of the strain ellipsoid they may be located. We here describe fo...
Coherent structures around isolated spur dikes at various approach flow angles
Köken, Mete (2011-01-01)
The turbulent flow structures around an isolated spur dike located at three different approach flow angles are investigated. Detached eddy simulation is used at a channel Reynolds number of 45,000. Experimental velocity measurements were also conducted using acoustic Doppler velocimetry for validating the simulations. It is found that the size and orientation of the horseshoe vortex system change considerably with the approach flow angle. The main necklace vortex is largest in size and most coherent for 90 ...
Vibration Analysis of a Cracked Beam on an Elastic Foundation
Batihan, Ali Cagri; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (2016-06-01)
The transverse vibrations of cracked beams with rectangular cross sections resting on Pasternak and generalized elastic foundations are considered. Both the Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko beam (TB) theories are used. The open edge crack is represented as a rotational spring whose compliance is obtained by the fracture mechanics. By applying the compatibility conditions between the beam segments at the crack location and the boundary conditions, the characteristic equations are derived, from which the n...
Performance improvement of seismic-isolated bridges near active faults using elastic-gap devices
Dicleli, Murat (2017-04-27)
For seismic isolated bridges (SIBs) subjected to near-fault (NF) ground motions with directivity effect, the isolator displacements tend to be considerably large. Consequently, isolators with very large dimensions may be required for SIBs located in NF zones. This may lead to very large expansion joints and very large seat widths as well. In this research, the efficiency of providing supplemental elastic-gap devices to improve the performance of seismic-isolated bridges (SIBs) in near-fault (NF) zones is in...
