Backcalculation of pavement layer properties using artificial neural network based gravitational search algorithm /
Öcal, Arda; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
Transportation agencies need to make accurate decisions about maintenance strategies to provide sustainability of pavements. Non-destructive pavement evaluation means play a crucial role when making such assessments. A commonly used method is to use Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) device which measures the surface deflections under imposed loadings. Determination of layer properties through the use of FWD deflections is known as pavement layer backcalculation. This process requires the use of mathematica...
Investigation of low temperature cracking in asphalt concrete pavement
Qadir, Adnan; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
In this study, low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete is investigated based on a laboratory experimental program including the design variables of aggregate type, gradation, asphalt content, binder grading, binder modification, and the experimental variables of cooling rate, and specimen size. The design of experiment is proposed according to the fractional factorial design principles to reduce the required number of test specimens. Mix designs are performed according to the Superpave mix design guide...
NATO-EU security relations in the post-9/11 security era /
Onyeador, Ikenna Ifeanyichukwu; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of International Relations (2014)
The objective of this study is to thoroughly examine the relationship between the EU and NATO in dealing with the challenges of the post-9/11 international security environment. In doing so, the following questions are addressed: How have both organizations come to define themselves as crucial security actors within a globally transforming security agenda? How effective has cooperation been so far in dealing with these various emerging security related issues in practice as outlined by their security strate...
Evaluation of resilient modulus estimation methods for asphalt mixtures based on laboratory measurements
Demirci, Canser; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2010)
Resilient modulus is a property for bound and unbound pavement materials characterizing the elastic behavior of materials under dynamic repeated loading. Resilient modulus is an important design parameter for pavement structures because it represents the structural strength of pavement layers through which the thickness design is based on. In Turkey, the layer thickness design is performed using resilient modulus determined empirically from various published sources. Determining a layer modulus using empiri...
Microwave glycation of soy protein isolate
Namlı, Serap; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Soy protein is used as a functional ingredient in the food industry since it has good functional properties like gelling, emulsifying, water and oil holding capacity. It contains all the essential amino acids, lowers the cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the improvement of the functional properties of soy protein is an important issue for food science and industry. Glycation is known as the non-enzymatic reaction between the carbonyl group of sugars and the free amino group of ...
