The seismic assessment of concrete gravity dams is a problem of prediction of cracking and the corresponding consequences. With the widespread use of general-purpose finite element programs, the work in the field has shifted ...

In this paper, a new orthonormal decomposition method for symmetric second rank tensors namely as, orthonormal tensor basis is presented. Complex variable representation method is developed by using the existing theories ...

Halen geçerli olan Deprem Yönetmeliğinde önerilen birim şekil değiştirme hasar sınır değerleri, teknik literatürde mevcut önde gelen çalışmalardan alınmakla birlikte, bu değerlerin yer değiştirmeye dayalı tasarım ve ...

Su alma ağzı giriş şekli, ağız üzerinde su yüzeyinde oluşabilecek hava girişli çevrintinin karakteristiklerini belirlediğinden ağza ait kritik batıklık üzerinde bazı etkilere sahiptir. Bu etkiler hız dağılımı etkisi ve ...

This paper builds on the review of structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage assessment approaches provided in a companion paper by presenting an application of the damage locating vector (DLV) approach to the experimental ...

The four-legged Minaret of Sheikh Mutahhar Mosque has been constructed in the early 16th century during the Aq Qoyunlu Period in Diyarbakır, Turkey, which is located in the second most hazardous zone of the Turkish Seismic ...

In this paper, we evaluate force-displacement and moment-rotation relationships to characterize dynamic soil stiffness and damping properties of structures subject to forced vibration loading. We first introduce a procedure ...

This paper is concerned with a precise finite element model for vibration analysis of initially stressed micro/nano beams based on nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli and Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. For this purpose analytical ...

Air-entraining vortices are one of the serious hydraulic phenomena which can create various problems during the operation of intakes. Generally, air-entraining vortices start to form when the intake submergence is insufficient ...
