© 2022 Elsevier LtdLoading protocols are generally used for qualification testing of structural members. In eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), the connections of short links attached to columns are evaluated based on the loading protocol given in the AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341–16). Behavior of many short links without column attachments was also investigated by making use of this loading protocol. The AISC341 loading protocol is suitable for only short links and does not take into account the one-sided nature of link rotation angle (LRA) demands due to mean effects. Long link behavior differs from short link behavior in a sense that long links are subjected to strength and stiffness degradation due to local buckling effects. A nonsymmetrical loading protocol for long links was developed as a part of this study. Twenty-four long link EBF archetypes with variable floor plans, bay widths, number of stories and link length to bay width (e/L) ratios were designed according to the US standards. The responses of EBFs under maximum considered earthquake (MCE) and collapse level earthquake (CLE) were obtained by making use of numerical analysis employing degrading link models. The link rotation angle time histories were reduced and converted into a series of cycles and the peaks of the LRA response were identified by using the rainflow counting algorithm. The nonsymmetrical loading protocol was represented as a function of maximum rotation range, which depends on the seismic hazard and e/L ratio.

DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUE TO BE USED IN MEASURING MICRON LEVEL CLEARANCES FILLED WITH A LUBRICANT Yildirim, Murat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2009-10-21) The aim of this study is to develop an interferometric technique to measure micron level clearances occurring in small piston-cylinder arrangements; such as hermetically sealed compressors. A Cartesian model of the piston cylinder arrangement is manufactured and lateral and vertical motions are generated via a step motor, and micrometers, respectively, to simulate the piston motion and the change of clearance during the motion. Experiments are conducted in air and a lubricant. Measurements show the importan...
Development of a sandwich-type DNA array platform for the detection of label-free oligonucleotide targets Cansız, Sena; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2010) DNA arrays have become a major bioanalytical method as they enable high-throughput screening and they can be manufactured on different surfaces depending on the nature of diagnostic purpose. However, current technologies to produce and detect arrays of DNA probes are expensive due to the requirement of specialized instrumentation. In this study we have established an array platform in sandwich hybridization format for the detection of label-free nucleic acid targets. Unlike direct hybridization, which is th...
A comparative investigation of early childhood teachers’ portfolio practices: Cases from Turkey and the United States Alaçam, Nur; Olgan, Refika; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Department of Early Childhood Education (2022-3) The current study has a multi-method research design and investigated portfolio assessment comprehensively in three parts. First, teachers’ portfolio practices and views were investigated by means of semi-structured individual interviews in a qualitative design. Secondly, portfolio contents were examined with a developed content checklist and rubric under the methodology of document analysis. In these parts, 24 teachers participated and 19 child portfolios were examined in a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool...
A Computerized Method for Delay Risk Assessment Based on Fuzzy Set Theory using MS Project (TM) BUDAYAN, Cenk; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Ghaziani, Aydin (2018-08-01) In this paper, we present a computerized method as an add-in to MS Project (TM) for risk identification and estimation of delay. A delay analysis ontology is incorporated so that the users can identify causes of delay at the activity level and assess frequency and impact of risks using their previous experience, expertise and judgement. Testing and validation findings demonstrate that the software is easy to use and gives reliable results. Decision-makers can use this software during risk identification and...
APPLICATION AND COMPARISON OF MULTISTAGE TRIAXIAL COMPRESSION TEST PROCEDURES ON RECONSTITUTED ANKARA CLAY VAKILINEZHAD, AMIRAHMAD; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-11) The ability to conduct conventional triaxial compression tests on multiple identical specimens is restricted by available sample quantity, sample homogeneity, as well as testing duration. Multistage triaxial testing is an alternative method to tackle this issue by using a single specimen, sheared under different confining stresses to attain the strength parameters. Although there are widely accepted procedures to decide when to stop each shearing stage and proceed to the next stress level, the applicability...
