Deformation induced dynamic loading for different soil types
Onur, Mehmet İnanç; Tuncan, Ahmet; Tuncan, Mustafa (Civil-Comp Press, 2013)Earthquakes can cause different deformations for different soil types and different earthquake characteristics. Deformations caused by earthquakes can be given as follows: surface rupture, regional subsidence, slope ... -
Determination of 3D Modelling Method of Soil Classes
Akdeniz, Ebru; Mutlu, Sunay; Pekkan, Emrah; Tun, Muammer; Avdan, Uğur; Güney, Yücel; Tuncan, Ahmet (Int Scientific Conference Sgem, 2011)The definitions of the risk factors due to a possible earthquake on the settlement area are useful for decreasing hazard of a potential earthquake and essential for preparing the management plans by the local municipalities ... -
Determination of Concrete Strength By Using Small Diameter Cores and Microcores
Kılınç, Kadir; Çelik, Ahmet Ozan; Tuncan, Mustafa; Tuncan, Ahmet; Arıöz, Ömer (Novpress Sro, 2011)Strength of concrete is an important property for the quality of concrete. Compression testing of cores drilled from hardened concrete is a widely accepted method of strength determination. Estimation of concrete strength ... -
Determination of the Freezing Effect on Unconfined Compression Strength and Permeability of Saturated Granular Soils
Evirgen, Burak; Onur, Mehmet İnanç; Tuncan, Mustafa; Tuncan, Ahmet (Geomate Int Soc, 2015)Artificial ground freezing usage gradually rises in civil engineering applications as a soil supporting system. However, many unknown fundamental parameters have been still waiting discovery, especially for granular soil. ... -
Distributions of Compressive Strength Obtained from Various Diameter Cores
Çelik, Ahmet Ozan; Kılınç, Kadir; Tuncan, Mustafa; Tuncan, Ahmet (Amer Concrete Inst, 2012)Test results from cores with diameters smaller than the standard sizes and with length-to-diameter (Vd) ratios less than I are considered to be unreliable due to higher variability in concrete strength. There is, however, ... -
Effect of length-to-diameter ratio of core sample on concrete core strength - Another look
Arıöz, Ömer; Ramyar, Kambiz; Tuncan, Mustafa; Tuncan, Ahmet (Amer Soc Testing Materials, 2008)Cores with diameters of 144,94,69, and 46 mm and length-to-diameter(1/d) ratios of 0.75,1,1.25,1.5,1.75, and 2, were removed from beam specimens produced from eight different concrete mixtures. Compressive strength tests ... -
