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, ... -
Reply to comment on “Evaluation of a physically based quasi-linear and a conceptually based nonlinear Muskingum methods” by Reza Barati
(Elsevier, 2017-07)The writers thank the discusser for his interest in the study of Perumal et al. (2017) and welcome the opportunity to address the issues raised by the discusser. The discusser has mainly raised four issues on the ... -
Resistive force theory-based analysis of magnetically driven slender flexible micro-swimmers
(Springer, 2017-09)Resistive force theory is concise and reliable approach to resolve flow-induced viscous forces on submerged bodies at low Reynolds number flows. In this paper, the theory is adapted for very thin shell-type structures, and ... -
Reverse flood routing in natural channels using genetic algorithm
(Springer, 2015-09-13)Establishing a clear overview of data discharge availability for water balance modelling in basins is a priority in Europe, and in the particular in the framework of the system of Economic and Environmental Accounts for ... -
Sample collection into sterile vacuum tubes to preserve arsenic speciation in natural water samples
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013-08)The accurate speciation analysis of arsenic is a serious concern for water quality monitoring programs. Because the preservation of sample integrity until analysis is one of the most important aspects of speciation, this ... -
Seismic performance of wide-beam infill-joist block RC frames in Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015-02)Observations after the 2011 Van-Erciş earthquake show that some of the recently constructed reinforced-concrete buildings were either heavily damaged or had collapsed. As a building subtype, wide-beam, infill-joist block ... -
Self-healing capability of cementitious composites incorporating different supplementary cementitious materials
(Elsevier, 2013-01)The presence of deleterious substances and their transport are among the most important factors controlling the durability of cementitious composites. The present paper studies the relationship among the applied mechanical ... -
Significance of rent attributes in prediction of earthquake damage in Adapazari, Turkey
(Institute of Computer Science, 2014-12)This paper analyses rent-based determinants of earthquake damage from an urban planning perspective with the data gathered from Adapazari, Turkey, after the disaster in 1999 Eastern Marmara Earthquake (EME). The study ... -
Simulating transient sediment waves in aggraded alluvial channels by double-decomposition method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011-04)By using the double-decomposition (DD) method, this study simulates transient sediment waves caused by aggradation described by a diffusion-type partial differential equation (PDE). The DD method solves the PDE by decomposing ... -
Simulation of seismic liquefaction: 1-g model testing system and shaking table tests
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-11)In this paper, we focus on the development and performance of the 1-g model testing system to monitor the liquefaction occurrence of saturated soils, under subsequent one-dimensional shake table tests. The system is composed ... -
Spatial interaction modeling of interregional commodity flows
(Elsevier, 2007-06)Drawing from both the spatial price equilibrium theoretical framework and the empirical literature on spatial interaction modeling, this paper expands models of interregional commodity flows (CFs) by incorporating new ... -
Specimen size effect on the residual properties of engineered cementitious composites subjected to high temperatures
(Elsevier Limited, 2014)In this study, size effect on the residual properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) was investigated on the specimens exposed to high temperatures up to 800 C. Cylindrical specimens having different sizes ... -
Statistical analysis of causes of death (2005-2010) in villages of Simav Plain, Turkey, with high arsenic levels in drinking water supplie
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-01)The purpose of this research was to compare the causes of death in 5 villages situated in Simav Plain, Turkey, during 2005-2010 where different arsenic levels were detected in drinking water supplies. Since groundwater in ... -
Stiffness and strength of metal bridge deck forms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2007)Light gauge metal sheeting is often utilized in the building and bridge industries for concrete formwork. Although the in-plane stiffness and strength of the metal forms are commonly relied upon for stability bracing in ... -
Stiffness and strength of shear diaphragms used for stability bracing of slender beams
(Structural Stability Research Council, 2014)Light gage metal decking is often used in structures as concrete deck formwork, roof cladding or siding. In the steel building and bridge industries, decking acts like a shear diaphragm and provides continuous lateral ... -
Strain gradient polycrystal plasticity for micro-forming
(American Institute of Physics Publishing, 2016-10)The developments in the micro-device industry has produced a substantial demand for the miniaturized metallic components with ultra-thin sheet materials that have thickness dimensions on the order of 50-500 μm which are ... -
Strength prediction of high-strength concrete by fuzzy logic and artificial neural networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-11-01)High-strength concretes (HSC) were prepared with five different binder contents, each of which had several silica fume (SF) ratios (0-15%). The compressive strength was determined at 3, 7, and 28 days, resulting in a total ... -
Strength requirements for shear diaphragms used for stability bracing of steel beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017-04)Light-gauge metal sheeting is often used in steel building and bridge industries as concrete deck formwork. Besides providing support to the fresh concrete, the sheeting acts as a shear diaphragm and provides continuous ...
