Recycling of thermal power plant bottom ashes
(2006)Beneficiation of unburned carbon was conducted in order to increase the possibility of the recycling of coal fired power plant bottom ashes. Two stage flotation techniques were used for this study. In the flotation experiments ... -
Calibration/validation of satellite derived snow products with in situ data over the mountainous eastern part of Turkey
(2007)This paper presents the critical issues for the comparison of the parameters that optical remote sensing can deliver (snow-covered area and albedo as MODIS products) with snow survey and lately established automated weather ... -
E-business transformation stages for construction companies
(2007)The business world is continuously changing due to the advances and developments in technology. Innovations in technology change all the industries and the way of performing business activities. E-Business (E-b) has created ... -
Effect of pore forming agent on the properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate
(2008)Lightweight expanded clay aggregates (LECA) were produced by using clay, coal, perlite, and bottom ash. Aggregates were shaped by means of pelletizing. After preparation, the rounded aggregates were treated for various ... -
An experimental investigation on fly ash based geopolymer bricks
(2008)Geopolymer bricks were produced by using F type fly ash, C type fly ash, sodium hydroxide solution, sodium silicate solution by means of pressure forming process. Then, the geobricks were heat treated at the temperature ... -
Impacts of cultural differences on project success in construction
(2009)In today's constantly changing global business environment, understanding cultures have become essential and a prerequisite for business success. Understanding and successfully managing cultural differences can provide ... -
HEC-HMS model application in Yuvacik Dam reservoir, Turkey
(2009)Since 1999 the Yuvacik Dam reservoir has been one of the most important arteries supplying water to the city of Kocaeli, located in the southeastern part of the Marmara region of Turkey. Although considered to be a large ... -
Construction professionals' perspectives on cross-cultural training for international construction projects
(2010)Cross-cultural training has long been recognized as an effective method to facilitate cross-cultural interaction. Many global organizations provide cross-cultural training to their expatriates to increase productivity in ... -
Information technology usage impacts on construction projects' success
(Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2010)Information technology (IT) plays an important role for improving business processes and has significant effects on project time, cost and quality in the construction industry. Effective use of IT may increase construction ... -
Effect of compaction method on mechanical behavior of graded aggregate base materials
(2012)Previous studies indicated that the properties of aggregates and their compaction process are the most important factors in the design of granular highway base layers. It was argued that the conventional compaction method ... -
An experimental comparison between the shear and the plane waves by using resonant column test
(2012)The resonant column device is commonly used in laboratory to determine the dynamic properties of soils. During the resonant column test, a soil specimen is excited under torsional excitation at different frequencies. In ... -
Augmented reality system applications in construction project activities
(2013)The firms in construction industry could not sufficiently adapt the rapidly emerging information technologies in recent years into their corporate structures. Therefore, in an effort to further exploit the benefits of ... -
Deformation induced dynamic loading for different soil types
(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 ... -
Evaluation of the mechanical performance of recycled concrete aggregates used in highway base layers
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)Concrete waste is one of the most abundant waste materials and remains in the environment for a long period of time, which, if not recycled, can significantly reduce the life of municipal landfill facilities. The use of ... -
Effects of shear wall ratio on the seismic behavior of buildings having inadequate seismic resistance
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2014)Use of low concrete strength (in some structures as low as 8-10 MPa), structural irregularities, poor detailing in members are some of the significant parameters causing inadequate seismic resistance of deficient RC ... -
Cartoons on occupational health and safety: Semiotic analysis of workers
(Association of Researchers in Construction Management, 2014)Construction industry is at the top rankings in developed and developing countries in terms of occupational deaths and injuries. This shows that legal regulations themselves could not decrease occupational accidents. In ... -
Analytical study on the seismic performance of a RC building with structural wall during the May 19, 2011 Simav, Turkey Earthquake
(Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, 2014)Previous studies imply that, after the recent destructive earthquakes reinforced concrete (RC) buildings having structural walls showed better seismic performance than RC buildings in which seismic loads are fully resisted ... -
Stress - Strain characteristics of frozen silty and clayey soils
(International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2015)Presence of ground water is a serious problem for cohesive soils in many geotechnical projects. Ground water decreases the bearing capacity of soil layer. However, water can be used as a cementitious material in case of ... -
3D modeling of a river type dam fish passage by CFD
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2016)Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models provide comprehensive information about the fluid flow around water structures. This paper discusses the CFD solution of a pool type fish passage model and evaluate the results in ... -
The Antecedents and Consequences of Consumer Engagement in Social Networking Sites
(Int Business Information Management Assoc-Ibima, 2017)Consumer engagement is increasingly becoming one of the important issues in the competitive business environment. Both researches and practitioners are focusing on how consumer engagement can be enhanced through different ...
