On the reliability based safety analysis of the Porsuk dam
Yanmaz, Ali Melih (2005-10-01)
Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet various project demands. Their roles in both the environment and the economy of a country are so important that their design and construction should be carried out with a negligibly small risk. Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore variations in the governing variables. To offset this limitation, high safety factors are considered that increase the cost of the structure. Reliability-based design approaches are probabilistic in ...
Comparison of Performance of Two Run-of-River Plants during Transient Conditions
Çalamak, Melih; Bozkuş, Zafer (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-10-01)
Water hammer is an unsteady hydraulic problem commonly found in closed conduits of hydropower plants, water distribution networks, and liquid pipeline systems. Because of either a malfunction of a system or inadequate operation conditions, a pipeline may collapse or burst erratically, resulting in substantial damages and human loss in some cases. Therefore, it is crucial that engineers design and/or analyze projects with reliable computing methods for all foreseeable operation situations. In this paper, tra...
Numerical modelling of reinforced concrete pressure tunnels using the overlapping lattice method
Işık, Gökberk; Tuncay, Kağan; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019)
Pressure tunnels transmit water from the reservoir to the turbines of hydroelectric power plants. The computational studies conducted to understand the behavior and shed light on the design guides of pressure tunnels were scarcely validated with experimental data as experimental work on pressure tunnels is very limited. Recent experimental studies on reinforced concrete pressure tunnels carried out at Middle East Technical University (METU), for the first time, allow computational models to be validated wit...
Investigation of water hammer problems and potential solutions in pump discharge lines
Erdem, Recep Çağrı; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Disturbance in boundary conditions of a hydraulic system could cause rapid change in flow velocity in confined pipe systems. Pressure wave leading to an event called water hammer may occur as a consequence of that disturbance. Water hammer could lead to catastrophic failures on the hydraulic systems. Thus, proper protection measures should be defined and installed in the system before it is put into operation. The aim of this study is to analyze a pumped discharge line and ensure its safe operation against ...
Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties
Cobanoglu, Baran; ALDEMİR, ALPER; Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Yakut, Ahmet (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-08-01)
Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material's properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in Turkey, masonry buildings are assessed generally based on the recommended material properties specified in relevant codes as opposed to testing of samples taken from the existing buildings. However, due to different material types and workmanship quality, the specified properties might be quit...
