Rock mechanics is an essential field of mining and civil engineering that has many application areas, such as opening drifts, tunneling activities, and slope stability. The understanding of rock behavior is of key importance for both underground and surface operations. Commonly utilized technology in rock mechanics laboratory testing has the capability to be enhanced by various systems such as imaging devices. The detection of the crack coalescence, especially in fracture mechanics, can be performed either manually or by using systems based on high-speed cameras, thermal imaging, or acoustic emission. This study focuses on the thermal imaging of different types of rock specimens under indirect tensile loading in a displacement-controlled testing environment. The heat dissipation during the initial crack formation is aimed to be captured by an uncooled LWIR (Longwave Infrared) thermal camera. The crack initiation points, crack propagation behavior, and fracture plane will be tracked with the thermal camera under varying displacement rates. As a result, it is expected that this study will provide a better understanding and detection of crack coalescence for different rock types by using thermal imaging techniques.

Evaluation of air void parameters of fly ash incorporated self consolidating concrete by image processing Özerkan, Nesibe Gözde; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Self consolidating concrete (SCC) is defined as an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction and it is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction. Although significant amount of research has been carried out regarding the fresh properties, mix design, placing methods and strength of various SCC mixes, only a very limited amount of work has been done to assess the durability performance of SCC. Concretes in cold climates a...
Probabilistic-numerical modeling of stability of a rock slope in Amasya-Turkey Gheibie, Sohrab; Akgün, Aykut; Department of Mining Engineering (2011) Rock slope stability is considered as one of the most important fields in rock engineering. Developments of computation facilities and increase in application of sophisticated mathematical concepts in engineering problems have also affected the methods of slope stability analysis. In recent years, the numerical modeling methods have extensively applied instead of limit equilibrium methods. Also, the probabilistic methods are considered in rock slope designs to quantify the uncertainties of input effecting v...
Evaluating modes of failure zones of the rock masses along Mudurnu Valley (Turkey) by using a unmanned aerial vehicle Arslan Kelam, Arzu; Akgün, Haluk (null; 2018-04-13) Rock mass characteristics, slope geometry, weathering, man-made activities and seismic activities are the main factors that can cause slope failure. Whatever the reason is, these instabilities can generate significant hazards. Rock mass instabilities in the Mudurnu County which is settled on a steep valley threaten people and settlements, and lead to regional hazard and risk. In order to overcome this problem, rock masses along the valley have to be characterized in detail. Instabilities are discontinuity d...
Simulation of damage propagation on massiveconcrete structures, the overlapping lattice model v.s.The finite element approach Soysal, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2017-10-11) The increase in the computational power enables the performance based assessment of very large structures like concrete gravity dams. These assessments are usually carried out with the traditional finite element tools. The continuum based formulation of these analyses in the absence of costly re-meshing operations cast doubt on the performance assessment of such massive plain concrete structures given the primary output assessed for these analyses should be the crack propagation and opening on the dam body....
A Comparative study on direct analysis method and effective length method in one-story semi-rigid frames Demirtaş, Afşin Emrah; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) For steel structures, stability is a very important concept since many steel structures are governed by stability limit states. Therefore, stability of a structure should be assessed carefully considering all parameters that affect the stability of the structure. The most important of these parameters can be listed as geometric imperfections, member inelasticity and connection rigidity. Geometric imperfections and member inelasticity are taken into account with the stability method used in the design. At th...
