An example study showed that there may be 70% difference in armour stone weight when Van der Meer (1988) and Van Gent et al. (2004) formulas are applied as recommended by "The Rock Manual: The use of rock in hydraulic engineering" (2007) with specific design constraints. In this paper, questions arise in the application of these formulas and their dependence on certain design constraints given in literature as mentioned in "The Rock Manual: The use of rock in hydraulic engineering" (2007) are discussed. Based on the results of this study, a new design flowchart that uses Van der Meer (1988) and Van Gent et al. (2004) formulations is proposed and tested by physical model experiments. Furthermore, a real case study in Aliaga, Izmir, Turkey is presented in order to indicate the importance of the new design flowchart.

A simplified procedure for estimating the inelastic drift demands on frame structures Ay, Bekir Özer (null; 2008-10-17)
The comparison of bainitic transformations and mechanical properties of 60simn5 and 55cr3 steels Bakır, Simg; Ögel, Bilgehan; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019) In this study, lower bainitic and martensitic transformations in 55Cr3 and 60SiMn5 heavy duty spring steels were studied. 55Cr3 and 60SiMn5 steels are used in the production of springs that can withstand medium and high tensile and compression loads, especially as leaf springs, helical springs and ring springs in vehicles. A high elastic deformation behavior is expected in spring steels. Therefore, it is important that the spring steel has high yield strength. The transformation mechanisms and mechanical pr...
A van der Waals DFT study of chain length dependence of alkanethiol adsorption on Au(111): physisorption vs. chemisorption Mete, Ersen; Yortanli, Merve; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2017-06-07) The energetics and structures of physisorbed and chemisorbed alkanethiols on Au(111) have been systematically investigated up to 10 carbon atoms using van der Waals (vdW) corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The role of chain length, tilting angle and coverage on the adsorption characteristics has been examined to elucidate the energetics and plausible transformation mechanisms between lying down and standing up phases. Coverage and size dependent chain-chain electronic interactions count...
A comparative study of force-deformation relationship of FRP-confined concrete columns Erdil, Barış; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Irfanoglu, A. (null; 2011-10-26) In this study, the FRP-confined concrete models for prismatic members given in the ACI440.2R-08 and Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC2007) are compared with the experimental data taken from the literature. It is found that TEC2007 assumes only hardening behavior for concrete strengthened with FRP. Although ACI440.2R-08 assumes a hardening and softening behavior depending on the confinement-effectiveness, the limit separating the hardening and softening must be improved to predict the behavior well. The assumptio...
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 ...
