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 ...

Spreadsheet solver using VBA programming has been designed for solving initial value problems (IVPs), analytically and numerically by all Runge-Kutta (RK) methods including also fifth order with calculation of true percent ...

Recently proposed changes to modeling and acceptance criteria in seismic regulations for both flexure and shear dominated reinforced concrete structural walls suggest that a comprehensive examination is required for improved ...

The utilization of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for road construction necessitates high temperatures during mixing bitumen and aggregate at asphalt plant. The required (mixing) production temperature is calculated by the standard ...

In recent years, studies on porous asphalt have gained more importance and countries are conducting various studies in order to improve the engineering properties of this type of pavement. As a result of these studies, ...

Three different buildings built according to the same design have experienced three different near-field strong ground motions over a period of 11 years in three different cities in Turkey. The input motion was known for ...

Ahşap yapılar ve yapı elemanlarında yapıştırıcı ve mekanik bağlantı elemanları ile bir araya getirilmiş birleşim bölgerinin genel yük-deplasman davranışı, kayma gerilmesi- kayma deplasmanı davranışları, yapısal sistemin ...
