High-speed railway tracks require high quality track and accurate maintenance, but rail irregularities in main lines are inevitable. These irregularities are important sources for dynamic excitation. For the safety of ...

Precast industrial plants in Turkey experienced considerable damage during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. The presented paper is based on a parametric study to evaluate the seismic performance of a code-designed ...

This paper is an extension for the efficient implicit two-dimensional vertical model presented by previous investigators for simulating unsteady non-hydrostatic free-surface flows. Discrete singular convolution is used in ...

Semi-active control systems having the adaptability aspects of active control methods along with the reliability and stability of passive controllers have been recently used to control structures against natural hazards. ...

Water demand forecasting cannot be described by any mathematical function because it is a complicated function of a large number of interacting variables. In this paper, several fuzzy and neuro-fuzzy models are presented ...

Recently, the undrained anisotropic behavior of sand subjected to rotational shear has been a subject of great interest in both fields of experimental studies and constitutive modeling. Herein, based on the critical state ...
