The numerous issues associated with the excess steel slag that is disposed of in landfills every year can be reduced by using it as a geo-material. This paper provides the results of laboratory tests (i.e., sieve, hydrometer, ...

Use of industrial by-products in geotechnical engineering projects, such as in the construction of highway embankments, is advantageous because large volumes of these materials can be utilized. Basic oxygen furnace (BOF) ...

Definition of design earthquake characteristics, more specifically uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum, on the ground surface is the primary component for performance based design of structures and assessment of ...

Few small earthquakes with local magnitude slightly larger than M-L = 4 were recorded by geotechnical downhole arrays that have been recently deployed in the west side of Istanbul. Same events were also recorded by Istanbul ...

Seismic microzonation is conducted to assess the seismic hazard on the ground surface with respect to ground shaking intensity. A probabilistic seismic hazard study is conducted to define earthquake characteristics on the ...

The design acceleration spectrum requires site investigations and site-response analyses in accordance with the local seismic hazard. The variability in earthquake source and path effects may be considered using a large ...

Since the 1990s, structural engineering practice geared toward the use of hollow structural sections (HSS), notably square HSS, for their economy, and ease of design and construction. According to the AISC Seismic Provisions, ...

Maximum seismic inelastic drift demand in a steel building with braced frames as primary seismic-force-resisting (SFR) system tends to concentrate in few stories without considering inherent participation of designed ...

Internet of Things (IoT) enabled LoRaWAN® system is adopted to monitor concrete temperatures in real-time via wireless devices embedded within concrete cover. Maturity method is employed to predict compressive strength ...
