In this study, mixing rates, fiber content and pre-setting pressure of reactive powder concrete (RPC) were examined. Mixing ratios were determined by different mixing techniques in literature using material characteristics ...

Understanding track geometry deterioration decisively influences the planning and optimisation of track maintenance and renewal works and consequently the substantial related costs (savings) each year of every railway. To ...

In this study, fatty acid compositions of Palaz, Sariyagli, Delisava, Karayagli and Yomra hazelnut varieties stored under room conditions during in the years 2005-2008 were investigated. The hazelnut samples of 2009 were ...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computer techniques that attempt to simulate the functionality and decision-making processes of the human brain. In the past few decades, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been ...

The requirement for monitoring of suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) with good temporal and spatial resolution has led to the development of methods for sediment measurements. In this study, two practical and relatively ...

Ground failures in the form of liquefaction, loss of bearing capacity and soil softening have been observed during the 1999 Marmara (Turkey) earthquake. Research to understand the failure phenomena has been carried out ...

Base shear (V) is the maximum lateral force that will occur due to seismic ground motion at the base of a structure. Calculations of base shear depend on a lot of factors such as soil conditions, level of ductility, ...

Short column effect is cause to failure of columns which may result in severe damages or even collapse during earthquakes. The scope of the study is mainly to reveal the effect of short column on the holistic behaviour of ...

Evapotranspiration, an important component in terrestrial water balance and net primary productivity models, is difficult to measure and estimate. In this Study, the potential of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system ...
