Astro-geodetic deflections of the vertical components provide accurate and valuable information of Earth’s gravity filed. Conventional methods require considerable effort and time whereas new methods, namely digital zenith camera systems (DZCS), have been designed to eliminate drawbacks of the conventional methods, such as observer dependent errors, long observation times, and to improve the observation accuracy. The observation principle is based on capturing star images near zenithal direction to determine astronomical coordinates of the station point with the integration of CCD, telescope, tiltmeters, and GNSS devices. In Turkey a new DZCS have been designed and tested on control network located in Istanbul, of which the geoid height differences were known with the accuracy of ±3.5 cm. Astro-geodetic Camera System (ACSYS) was used to determine the deflections of the vertical components with an accuracy of ±0.1 − 0.3 arc seconds, and results were compared with geoid height differences using astronomical levelling procedure. The results have also been compared with the ones calculated from global geopotential models. In this study the recent results of the first digital zenith camera system of Turkey are presented and the future studies are introduced such as the current developments of the system including hardware and software upgrades as well as the new observation strategy of the ACSYS. We also discuss the contribution and integration of the astro-geodetic deflections of the vertical components to the geoid determination studies in the light of information of current ongoing projects being operated in Turkey.

A Generalized Staging Optimization Program For Space Launch Vehicles
Civek-Coskun, Ezgi; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal (2013-06-14)
This paper addresses the staging optimization problem for multistage rockets which carry payloads from the Earth's surface into the Earth orbits. In the early design phases, requirements are not so strict, there are many unknowns and problem arises as to what is the optimum staging to achieve the given mission. Therefore, designers need simplified tools providing a quick insight on the vehicle performance with minimum basic vehicle data. For this purpose, a Matlab (R) based computer program has been written...
The use of 3D modeling for the prediction of the seismic demands on the gravity dams
Bybordiani, M.; Arıcı, Yalın (2017-09-01)
Seismic behavior of gravity dams has long been evaluated using a representative two-dimensional (2D) system. Formulated for the gravity dams built in wide canyons, the assumption is nevertheless utilized extensively for almost all concrete dams due to the established procedures as well as the expected computational costs of a three-dimensional model. However, a significant number of roller-compacted concrete dams, characterized as such systems, do not conform to the basic assumptions of these methods by vio...
The Use of 3D Modeling for the Prediction of the Seismic Demands on the Gravity Dams
Bybordıanı, Mılad; Arıcı, Yalın (null; 2017-02-01)
Seismic behavior of gravity dams has long been evaluated using a representative 2D monolith for the system. Formulated for the gravity dams built in wide-canyons, the assumption is nevertheless utilized extensively for almost all concrete dams due to the established procedures as well as the expected computational costs of a three dimensional model. However, a significant number of RCC dams, characterized as such systems, do not conform to the basic assumptions of these methods by violating the conditions o...

Detailed knowledge on the shape of the seafloor is crucial for many researchers. Bathymetric data are critical for navigational safety and are used for underwater mapping. This study develops a sea-surface vehicle (SSV) system for underwater mapping by using both bathymetric data from a low-cost single-beam echosounder located on the SSV, and the navigation data of the SSV. The navigation of the SSV was obtained using a global positioning system (GPS). The effect of changing bathymetric and navigation data ...
