One of the more important problems associated with asphalt concrete pavements is rutting. This phenomenon is mostly illustrated as a surface depression in the wheel paths due to load-induced conditions as well as improper ...

Many of the existing reinforced concrete frame buildings in use today may not have adequate seismic resistance due to detailing deficiencies including inadequate anchorage of longitudinal reinforcement, inadequate lap ...

Changing social, economic and environmental conditions necessitates planning studies. Transportation demand created by different land use categories is known to vary considerably and therefore trip generation rates or ...

A site investigation campaign using cone penetration test (CPT) and dilatometer test (DMT) was carried on medium stiff silty clay, occasionally sand and gravelly site located at Gemlik, Bursa within a case study. Seismic ...

Basically, the geometric nonlinearity of space structures has been discussed in this Thesis. There are totally three types of nonlinearities, which are a) the geometric nonlinearity which arises from the large nodal ...

An experimental study was conducted on twelve beams to examine the influence of shear span-to-depth ratio (a/d), fibre-volume fraction, fibre aspect ratio, and concrete compressive strength on the shear behavior of beams. ...

There are several methods used in the design of bored piles. To start with, mathematical modeling of the pile and soil parameters provide various formulas and theories for ultimate bearing capacity and settlement calculations ...

Geosynthetic reinforced soil retaining walls (primarily those with precast concrete block facing elements) reinforced by geogrids or geotextiles are in a period of enormous growth. The construction of geosynthetic reinforced ...

The composite columns also known by the name “Concrete Filled Tubular (CFT) Steel Columns” have been preferred increasingly in the construction of high-rise buildings, bridges, towers etc. in many countries in the world. ...
