A shallow (mat) foundation of 21 m x 21 m plan dimensions was constructed using fiber reinforced concrete in an automotive spare part factory in Kocaeli, Turkey. After placing two similar machines of 785 tons and 605 tons weight on the same foundation, differential settlements were observed. The machines are 5,2 m wide and 15,7 m long each, and the clear distance between them is 6,0 m. Both of the machines were leveled with adjustment screws on their frames a couple of times, but the settlements of 0,5 – 2,0 millimeters continued after each adjustment without coming to an end. As it was reported by the owner that the machines cannot be put into service unless the settlements finish, a soil improvement system has been designed, which aimed at finishing the settlements in a very short time. According to the borings, the subsoil profile consists of soft to very stiff gravelly clay layer under a 1,5 m thick uncontrolled manmade fill layer. Geogrid reinforced mechanical fill laid over mini jetgrout columns is thought to be the most suitable solution. As compaction problems occurred on the clay layer, lime stabilization has also been applied at the excavation base. After finishing the soil improvement the RC foundation has been reconstructed and the machines have been reassembled by the end of year 2011. Geotechnical engineering works were performed by GEOCON on a “design and construct” basis. Both the structural and geotechnical design engineers have signed and stamped a “zero settlement commitment” after finishing the works, stating that “no settlement will occur” under the machine working loads. Until February 2018, no further settlement has been reported by the owner of the factory. Both of the machines are still in operation as of the preparation date of this paper. Summary information about the soil conditions, soil improvement system design and construction processes and the foundation system have been presented in this study.

Recovery of Escherichia coli O157 : H7 and Salmonella in milk and cream of chicken soup from high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and bacteriocin applications upon storage Alpas, Hami (2002-06-01) By the application of HHP; more than 8 log cycle reduction was achieved for E. coli O157:H7 933 and Salmonella FDA in milk and cream of chicken soup in 5 min. Storage of HHP treated milk samples showed absence of both bacteria for 24 h at 4degreesC and for 48 h at 37degreesC. The population of the strains in cream of chicken soup exceeded their initial value after 5 days of storage at 25degreesC. BP1 was combined with HHP and used for inhibition of surviving bacterial species in cream of chicken soup. There...
Theoretical aspects of some 4-[2,6-substituted-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives as anti-HIV agents Türker, Burhan Lemi; Sudagidan, M (2000-01-01) Some (-)-(1S,4R) -4-[2-amino-6-(substituted)-9H-purin-9-yl]-2-cyclopentene-1-methanol derivatives have been considered for semiempirical treatment at the level of AM1 type calculations. Certain theoretical structure-activity relationship were investigated.
Inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes in milk and cream of chicken soup by high hydrostatic pressure and bacteriocins Alpas, Hami (2002-06-01) By the application of HHP; 5.50 and 5.70 log cycle reduction was obtained for S. aureus 485, in milk and cream of chicken soup samples, respectively. Storage of HHP treated milk samples for 24 h at 4degreesC gave positive result for S. aureus 765 where no growth was observed for L. monocytogenes strains. Incubation of food samples for an additional 48 h at 37degreesC showed growth of L. monocytogenes strains as S. aureus strains. When a bacteriocin-based biopreservative (BP1) was combined with pressurizatio...
MIXTURE DESIGN APPLIED TO THE ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION OF CaWO4 TO W Erdoğan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak; Goksu, Orhan Gokce (2012-03-15) An experiment (mixture) design was created to optimize the process parameters of the electrochemical reduction of CaWO4 to W in molten CaCl2-NaCl eutectic mixture. Temperature, applied voltage and the length of Kanthal wire winding of the CaWO4 pellets were selected as the process parameters that were allowed to vary between the predetermined minimum and maximum values. The rates of the electrochemical reductions were interpreted from the variations of current and total charge vs. time graphs under differen...
Discrete approaches in evolution strategies based optimum design of steel frames Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2007-05-30) The three different approaches (reformulations) of evolution strategies (ESs) have been proposed in the literature as extensions of the technique for solving discrete problems. This study implements an extensive research on application, evaluation and comparison of them in discrete optimum design of steel frames. A unified formulation is first developed to explain these approaches, so that differences and similarities between their inherent search mechanisms can clearly be identified. Two examples from prac...
