The void ratio limits and their range are mostly governed by their grain size, distribution, particle shape and fabric for cohesionless soils. For the purpose of developing a probability-based predictive model, a database, which consists of minimum and maximum void ratios, their range, as well as particle morphology (roundness, sphericity), size and distribution (mean grain size, fines content and coefficient of uniformity) parameters, is compiled. A set of predictive models, which use the combinations of C-u, D-50, FC, R, and S parameters, is proposed. The models with C-u and/or D-50, R and S, produce the most precise predictions. The probabilistic forward use of the proposed models is illustrated by a practical example. They are also presented in the form of deterministic chart solutions, illustrating the variation of in-situ void ratios for varying density states as functions of uniformity coefficient or mean grain size.

Computational modeling of rupture in rubbery polymers
Akçören, Berkay; Göktepe, Serdar; Department of Civil Engineering (2020)
Rubbery polymers, also known as elastomers, can exhibit large deformations that are generally accompanied by inelastic deformations. Owing to their superior mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, elastomers are widely used in a broad range of industrial applications such as car tires, seismic isolators, mechanical membranes, and seals. For these applications, failure prediction is cardinally essential. Therefore, this thesis is concerned with the computational failure analysis of rubbery polymers th...
Estimating the number-weighted equivalents of the mass-weighted size distribution functions
Camalan, Mahmut (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-01)
The number-weighted particle size distributions are difficult to be estimated experimentally. This study offers a simple conversion method to convert mass-weighted distributions to their number-weighted equivalents. Besides, the number-weighted equivalents of the Gates-Gaudin-Schuhmann, Gaudin-Meloy, Pareto, and Rosin-Rammler distributions were determined by the conversion method. The accuracy of the method was successfully confirmed on the artificial populations generated from the Gates-Gaudin-Schuhmann, R...
A suitable model of microbial survival curves for beer pasteurization
Buzrul, Sencer (2007-01-01)
Published isothermal inactivation data indicated that beer can undergo under- or over-processing depending on the target log reduction and the shape of the survival curve of a microorganism if traditional first-order model is used. This was demonstrated for a mold, yeasts and lactic acid bacteria by use of a more flexible and convenient model than the first-order model, namely Weibull model. The parameters of the Weibull model can be reduced from two to one with a very a slight loss of goodness-of-fit. The ...
Implications of Jurassic chert identified in the Tokat Complex, northern Turkey
Bozkurt, Erdin; Kocyigit, A (1997-01-01)
The Tokat Complex is a strongly deformed tectono-sedimentary mixture of low-grade metamorphic rocks with abundant recrystallized limestone and relatively rare serpentinite and radiolarian chert in blocks of variable size. Samples from the radiolarian chert blocks, found in highly crushed zones, each of which corresponds to a thrust sheet within an imbricate thrust zone, have yielded a Tithonian fossil assemblage. They are interpreted as tectonic inclusions emplaced within the Tokat Complex after its main po...
Probabilistic methods for estimating the seismic deformations of underground structures
Soyman, Kadir Buğra; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
In seismic design of underground structures, simplified semi-deterministic methods based on the stiffness of the soil and the underground structure are used to estimate the seismic deformations. Generally, peak ground acceleration (PGA) value for different hazard levels are provided by the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) analysis, but a single (and deterministic) PGA value is employed in deformation calculations. The objective of this study is to propose a fully probabilistic framework for es...
