The flood induced overtopping of dams is one of the most observed failure reasons in history. In this study, the overtopping reliability of Tanyeri Dam is evaluated in a probabilistic manner. To this end, flood hydrographs having two variables and initial water level of the reservoir are randomly generated and the probability of exceedance of the dam crest elevation is evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. Several scenarios, including the case that both the spillway and the bottom outlet are not working, are considered and their effects on the dam overtopping reliability are assessed. According to the results, Tanyeri Dam is found to be 100% reliable when its spillway operates during a possible flood having 10000-year return period. In addition, it is shown that the maximum reservoir level observed during a flood is directly dependent on the initial water level of the reservoir.

Assessment of the effects of multiple extreme floods on flow and transport processes under competing flood protection and environmental management strategies Tu, Tongbi; Carr, Kara J.; Ercan, Ali; Trinh, Toan; Kavvas, M. Levent; Nosacka, John (2017-12-01) Extreme floods are regarded as one of the most catastrophic natural hazards and can result in significant morphological changes induced by pronounced sediment erosion and deposition processes over the landscape. However, the effects of extreme floods of different return intervals on the floodplain and river channelmorphological evolution with the associated sediment transport processes are not well explored. Furthermore, different basin management action plans, such as engineering structure modifications, m...
Numerical modelling of the 1766 (May) earthquake tsunami scenario along the northern coasts of Marmara Sea, Turkey Vardar, Hande; Alpar, Şaban Bedri; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (null; 2018-04-09) Following the recent 1999-earthquake disaster and its associated tsunami that occurred in the Izmit Gulf, eastern part of the Marmara Sea; much research has been carried out to determine the tsunami potential, as well as their possible effects along the adjacent coast. Based on the available archival data, many tsunamis (e.g. 989, 1343, 1509, 1766, 1894 and 1912) have affected the low-lying coasts, bays, estuaries, straits and possibly coastal lagoons along the northern coast of the Marmara Sea. In the pres...
An Investigation of the Ground Motion Scaling Procedures for the Nonlinear Seismic Analyses of Concrete Gravity Dams Soysal, BERAT FEYZA; Ay, Bekir Özer; Arıcı, Yalın (2019-07-03) Seismic assessment of gravity dams is generally carried out using time history analyses. Scaling of the motions is commonly used; however, in contrast to buildings, the performance of scaling procedures at predicting the mean and reducing the dispersion in engineering demand parameters (EDPs) is not known. The main goal of this study is to assess the performance of different scaling procedures in predicting seismic demands on dams. The performance regarding the prediction of the damage and the required numb...
Seismic Performance Evaluation of Concrete Gravity Dams by Using Pseudo Dynamic Testing and Simulations Aldemir, Alper; Binici, Barış (null; 2017-11-24) Dams are one of the mostimportantinfrastructure components servingfor water storage and energyproduction.Experimental studies on the seismic response of concrete gravity dams are scarce due to the complications regarding thelargescaleof dams and their interaction with the reservoir. This study presents the results of recent novel pseudo-dynamic dam tests (PSD) along with the nonlinear finite element simulations of the specimens. The test specimens were 1/75 scaled version of the highest ...
Analysis and remediation of the structurally controlled rock failures during tunneling: A case study along the Black Sea coastal highway in northern Turkey Koçkar, M.k.; Muratlı, S.; Akgün, Haluk (2018-06-22) In this study, the stability assessment and the analysis of the structurally controlled rock failures in the Geçilmez tunnel, which was constructed in Giresun, along the Black Sea coastal highway was performed. The rock mass classification of the tunnel grounds was completed and the geomechanical parameters that were necessary for the stability analysis and for the design of the tunnel were determined. The structurally controlled instabilities, i.e., inactive probable faults and shear zones within the tunne...
