Phase I benchmark control problem for seismic response of cable-stayed bridges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2003-07)This paper presents the problem definition for the first generation of benchmark structural control problems for cable-stayed bridges. The benchmark problem is based on the Bill Emerson Memorial Bridge that is currently ... -
Phase II benchmark control problem for seismic response of cable-stayed bridges
(Wiley, 2003-07)This paper presents the problem definition for the second generation of benchmark structural control problems for cable-stayed bridges. The goal of this study is to provide a testbed for the development of strategies for ... -
Predicting and forecasting flow discharge at sites receiving significant lateral inflow
(Wiley, 2007-07)Two models, one linear and one non-linear, were employed for the prediction of flow discharge hydrographs at sites receiving significant lateral inflow. The linear model is based on a rating curve and permits a quick ... -
Predicting and measuring surface enlargement in forward rod extrusion
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016-07)Surface enlargement during bulk metal forming processes is one of the key parameters controlling the tribology at the tool-workpiece interface. Not only the surface roughness evolution but also the integrity of the lubricant ... -
Predicting hourly-based flow discharge hydrographs from level data using genetic algorithms
(Elsevier, 2008-04)This study developed a genetic algorithm model to predict flow rates at sites receiving significant lateral inflow. It predicts flow rate at a downstream station from flow stage measured at upstream and downstream stations. ... -
Predicting longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural streams by artificial neural network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005-11)An-artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural streams and rivers. The hydraulic variables [flow discharge (Q), flow depth (H), flow velocity (U), shear ... -
Predicting mean and bankfull discharge from channel cross-sectional area by expert and regression methods
(Springer, 2011-03)This study employed four methods-non-linear regression, fuzzy logic (FL), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and genetic algorithm (GA)-based nonlinear equation-for predicting mean discharge and bank-full discharge from ... -
Predicting suspended sediment loads and missing data for Gediz River, Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Prediction of suspended sediment load (SSL) is important for water resources quantity and quality studies. The SSL of a stream is generally determined by direct measurement of the suspended sediment concentration or by ... -
Prediction of acid mine drainage generation potential of various lithologies using static tests: Etili coal mine (NW Turkey) as a case study
(Springer, 2016-08-01)The Etili neighborhood in Can County (northwestern Turkey) has large reserves of coal and has been the site of many small- to medium-scale mining operations since the 1980s. Some of these have ceased working while others ... -
Prediction of suspended sediment concentration from water quality variables
(Springer, 2014-04)This study investigates use of water quality (WQ) variables, namely total chromium concentration, total iron concentration, and turbidity for predicting suspended sediment concentration (SSC). For this purpose, the artificial ... -
Principle component analysis in conjuction with data driven methods for sediment load prediction
(Springer, 2013-05)This study investigates sediment load prediction and generalization from laboratory scale to field scale using principle component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with data driven methods of artificial neural networks (ANNs) ... -
Propagation of waves in porous media
(Elsevier, 1996)Wave propagation in porous media is of interest in various diversified areas of science and engineering. The theory of the phenomenon has been studied extensively in soil mechanics, seismology, acoustics, earthquake ... -
A quality assessment of public water fountains and relation to human health: a case study from Yozgat, Turkey
(Wiley, 2019-11)Public fountains are very common and everyday people appreciate the benefits a water fountain can bring. However, consumption of public fountain water in some country has decreased because of growing concerns that constituents ... -
Quality of groundwater resources in Afghanistan
(Springer, 2017-07)Water is the main source of energy production and economy in Afghanistan where agriculture accounts for more than 50% of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Access to safe drinking water is still a problem in the ... -
Quantitative detection of low energy impact damage in a sandwich composite wing
(SAGE Publications, 2010-02)This work describes damage detection in a foam core composite wing (1320 mm × 152.4 mm × 13.4 mm) following a series of low energy impacts. Thirteen impacts (6-8 J deposited energy) were applied at adjacent locations ... -
Rainfall-runoff model considering microtopography simulated in a laboratory erosion flume
(Springer, 2016-12-01)A comprehensive process-based rainfall-runoff model for simulating overland flow generated in rills and on interrill areas of a hillslope is evaluated using a laboratory experimental data set. For laboratory experiments, ... -
The relation of geogenic and antrophogenic factors with blood and hair lead and arsenic levels in women living in Çan and Bayramiç districts of Çanakkale province
(Nobel, 2019)Objective: Mining areas and associated industrial activities carry considerable risks for human health due to multi-pathway exposure of heavy metals such as arsenic and lead. The objective of this study was to compare ... -
