Long embankments are constructed on plains to support highways and railways. Depending on the magnitude of the flood volume, topographical characteristics of the plain and surface coverage of the flood over the plain, embankments may be subject to high water levels on both sides.With the construction of series of culverts through the embankment, accumulated water on one side may transmit to the other side. In this study, effects of unsteadiness of water levels in both sides of a sample embankment are investigated with reference to seepage pattern throughout the embankment. Analyses are conducted using the software SEEP/W®.The findings of the analyses provided means to assess the hydraulic performance of the embankment in view of suitability of the soil characteristics and layout of the layers forming the embankment. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Hydraulic characteristics of tyrolean weirs having steel racks and circular-perforated entry
Şahiner, Halit; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Tyrolean type water-intake structures are commonly used on mountain rivers to supply water to hydropower stations. The amount of water to be diverted from the main channel is the major concern in these kind of structures and should not be less than the design discharge. In this study a physical model of a Tyrolean type water-intake structure was built at the laboratory and the diverted flow from the main channel through the intake structure having steel racks and perforated plates of different types were me...
Effect of vehicles’ blockage on heat release rate in case of tunnel fire
Kayılı, Serkan; Eralp, O. Cahit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009)
Road and railways tunnels are constructed for decreasing the transportation time inside city or intercity. The fire safety systems are mounted for the safe use of tunnels. Therefore, it is important to accurately predict the fire-induced air velocity, temperature and smoke concentrations in tunnel fires in order to design efficient fire protection systems. To this end, scaled tunnel models are used and experiments are carried to understand the phenomena on these tunnel models. In addition, the studies for i...
Transformative Urban Railway: Ankara Commuter Line and Lost Landscape
Baş Bütüner, Funda; Aral, Hacer Ela (2017-09-27)
Being major transportation infrastructure of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the impacts of railways on cities have highly directed urban studies,. deforming material edge of cities, encouraging urban extension, forming new territories, and speeding up urban development. However, in recent decades, with newly emerging landscape infrastructure practice, a new idea for a more integrated infrastructure and landscape system has started to be formulated. Railway strips, occurring as territories where solid-vo...
Modelling and simulation of a wheeled land vehicle
Lafcı, Alp; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Land transportation is the main form of transportation around the world. Since the invention of the car land transportation changed drastically. As the cars took a solid part in human lives with the developments in electronics and robotics unmanned land vehicles are the future of both commercial and military land transportation. Today armies want unmanned land vehicles to provide logistical support to the units near threat zones and commercial firms want them to deliver goods more reliably and with less exp...
Scour Countermeasure Design For Sequential Viaducts on Ankara - Pozantı Highway
Çam, Umut Egemen; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Foundations of river bridges need to be protected with respect to excessive scouring. Degree of protection depends on the severity of scouring action around bridge piers and abutments. A case study is carried out to design appropriate protective measures for sequential viaducts located on Ankara-Pozant highway in Turkey. A number of analyses are conducted to obtain water surface profiles throughout the study reach. Local scour depths at piers and abutments of the viaducts are then obtained. The design proc...
