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 ...
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 ...
Artificial neural network model to predict the compressive strength of eco-friendly geopolymer concrete incorporating silica fume and natural zeolite
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020)
The growing concern about global climate change and its adverse impacts on societies is putting severe pressure on the construction industry as one of the largest producers of greenhouse gases. Given the environmental ...
On the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed steel braced frames
(Engineering with Computers, 2020)
The main purpose of this study is to respond to an important question in the field of structural engineering: is the seismic collapse capacity of optimally designed concentrically steel braced frames acceptable or not? The ...
Treated wastewater for concrete mixing; a comparitive study between astm and Turkisch standards
(12th International Scientific Conference on Production Engineering Development and Modernization of Production, 2019)
Water is one of the concrete mixing componenis that directly affecis the workability, durability, and mechanical properties of concrete elemenis. Generaliy, potable water which is suitable for human consumption is considered ...
External steel ties and CFRP jacketing effects on seismic performance and failure mechanisms of substandard rectangular RC columns
(Composite Structures, 2020)
One of the feasible retrofitting techniques for existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures is to use Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs). On the other hand, the efficiency of the FRP jacketing strategy in rectangular RC ...
Failure mechanisms and cracking performance of T-shaped SCC beam-column connections at top floor: test results and FE modeling
(Structures, 2020)
In recent decades, self-compacting concrete (SCC) has gradually gained popularity based on its unique workability without any internal and external vibration. SCC development must ensure an acceptable level of balance ...
A hybrid of firefly and biogeography-based optimization algorithms for optimal design of steel frames
(Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2020)
The principle purpose of the current study is to hybridize firefly algorithm (FA) as a nature-inspired meta-heuristic developed based on the flashing patterns and biogeography-based optimization (BBO) to present a qualified ...
