The drastic increase in environmental concerns and increasing costs of road construction materials necessitate evaluating some alternative solutions. One of the most suitable alternatives is recycling old asphalt pavement ...

Steel bridge beams can be damaged due to increased traffic loads and environmental impacts. An experimental study on the use of bonded and mechanically anchored carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips was undertaken ...

This paper aims to explore the availability and potential of wind energy in Turkey as well as assessing related government policies and challenges. As a European Union (EU) candidate several incentives were developed in ...

A new procedure for representation of third rank tensors in terms of its orthonormal irreducible decomposed parts, namely as irreducible decomposition is presented. Orthonormal tensor basis method is developed by using the ...

This paper presents a new aspect of harmonic decomposition method for elastic constant tensor of various anisotropic materials. Some misprints found in literature are corrected. This procedure derived here, is applied to ...

In this study, a small-scaled Tyrolean weir model was constructed in the laboratory environment and a series of experiments were conducted on it, for two different rack inclinations (θ1 = 18° and θ2 = 25°) and three different ...

We review techniques for measuring fluid flow and advective heat output from seafloor hydrothermal systems and describe new anemometer and turbine flowmeter devices we have designed, built, calibrated, and tested. These ...

This study aims to investigate flow and turbulence structure of a diagonal brush fish passage which has been constructed at the existing Small Hydropower Plant (SHP) on İyidere River on the East Black Sea Coast of Turkey. ...

The comprehensive experimental study examining the general load–displacement behavior, stress distributions and shear stress–shear-displacement behaviors in the connection area when wood structural elements are combined ...
