A Methodology for Optimal Layout Design of Pressure Cells for Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams
Arı, Onur; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-08-01)
In this study, a methodology for optimal layout design of pressure cells for concrete faced rockfill dams is developed. A representative dimensionless stress distribution model was formed for obtaining the magnitudes and location of different stress zones as a function of dam height. This information enabled development of a procedure for proper location and the number of pressure cells throughout the dam body. A vertical placement algorithm based on error minimization was first developed, which is followed...

A Method for the Design of FRC Tunnel Linings Reinforced with GFRP Bars
Akyüz, Uğurhan; Erkus, Gokhan (2020-09-11)
New procedures for the design of precast segmental lining tunnels have been developed in recent years. The use of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars instead of conventional steel bars is increasing in precast segments. Besides, macro-synthetic fibers are also used as a replacement for traditional steel bars. It is possible to find design guidelines for the design of precast segments reinforced with GFRP or fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) precast segments with or without conventional reinforcement...
A methodology for reliability-based design of rock slopes
DUZGUN, HSB; Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; Karpuz, Celal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-04-01)
A reliability-based methodology for the design of rock slopes, that can easily be implemented by the practicing engineers is proposed. The advanced first-order second-moment (AFOSM) method is adopted as the reliability assessment model and its application is illustrated for the case of plane failure. A model is developed within the framework of first-order second-moment approach to analyze the uncertainties underlying the in situ shear strength properties of rock discontinuities. Here, particular emphasis i...
A Method for the design of FRC tunnel linings reinforced with FRP bars
Demir, Mutlu; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
There are some difficulties in the construction of precast conventional reinforced concrete tunnel segments. Due to corrosion problem of ordinary reinforcement, the task becomes more complicated. Moreover, the workmanship for the construction of segments is also very time consuming. There are some research for the design of tunnel segments with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Besides, guidelines for the design of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) tunnel linings are also available. This thesis provides a ...
