Design gyration number determination of 100 mm-diameter asphalt mixtures
(Springer, 2019)At present, there is no accepted standard by highway authorities on the compaction procedures of 100 mm-diameter gyratory compactor specimens. In previous studies on gyratory compaction, the method of either coring from ... -
Evaluation of reinforcing bars ratio effects on SCC beam-column joint performance
(Uludağ University Journal of The Faculty of Engineering, 2019)Beam-column joints require a high ductility during the unexpected loadings that necessitate the need for ductile concrete in such unprotected locations. Alternatively, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a sort of concrete ... -
Seismic retrofit of full-scale substandard extended rectangular RC columns through CFRP jacketing: test results and design recommendations
(Journal of Composites for Construction, 2019)Brittle behavior of substandard columns during earthquakes is among the most common reasons of structural failures. Because capacity design principles and ductile detailing concepts have not been properly adopted during ... -
Number of design gyrations for 100 mm compacted asphalt mixtures modified with polypropylene
(Journal of Engineering Research, 2018)There is no standard accepted by highway authorities on the compaction procedures of 100 mm diameter gyratory compactor specimens. In previous studies on gyratory compaction, the utilisation of either coring from 150 mm ... -
Relationship between traffic density and pavement deflections
(Université d'Evry / Université Paris-Saclay, 2019)Traffic density is one of the most important parameters to consider in road construction. The presence of different components in road construction makes it essential to know the individual layer and inter-layer behaviors. ... -
Recurrent process on appointing an aid site: a case for airports
(Université d'Evry / Université Paris-Saclay, 2019)Mathematical models have been used for many decades in order to improve the infrastructure design of transportation facilities. In this study, locational best fit airport infrastructure is determined for providing an urgent ... -
Climate change impacts on meteorological drought using SPI and SPEI: case study of Ankara, Turkey
(Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2019)Using regionally downscaled and adjusted outputs of three global climate models (GCMs), meteorological drought analysis was accomplished across Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. To this end, standardized precipitation ... -
