    Structural analysis of steel truss and masonry bridge interaction: a case of Ali Fuat Pasha bridge in Sakarya, Türkiye

    Restoration of historical structures using new materials and techniques is widespread worldwide. In these applications, relatively new materials such as steel, concrete, reinforced concrete (RC), or composite are generally preferred. However, it is often ignored whether old materials and new materials work in compatibility. In this respect, Ali Fuat Pasha Bridge (or Bayezid II Bridge), which was built by Bayezid II in 1495 over the Sakarya River in Geyve-Sakarya, was examined. The bridge is 196.50 meters long and consists of 15 arches with different spans and three arches of the bridge were destroyed as a result of the earthquake. Then, the bridge has been restored by constructing a steel truss system in place of the destroyed arches. Within the scope of this study, the structural performance of the bridge, which is currently serving vehicle and pedestrian traffic, is examined by using finite element analyses (FEAs). Moreover, this research examines the combined behavior of steel and masonry materials and investigates the structural behavior of steel truss and masonry bridge interaction. According to the results of the analyses, there are significant behavioral differences between the masonry structure and the steel structure. The main cause for this disparity is thought to be the varying levels of stiffness and ductility in steel and masonry sections.

    Effectiveness of standalone simulation-based optimization software in optimizing the life cycle cost of residential buildings
    (Dynamic Academy Yazılım İnşaat San. Tic. Ltd. Şti., 2021-12) Yiğit, Sadık; Ozorhon, Beliz
    Designers aim to build nearly zero energy buildings and positive energy buildings to comply with regulations. However, due to many variables affecting the energy performance of buildings, energy-efficient building design is a challenging task. Among the proposed methods, simulation-based systems are promising. The proposed simulation-based systems are not suitable for the construction sector because of the long optimization periods. The primary goal of this study is to emphasize the necessity of standalone software packages in solving usability problems and to provide a tool for designers and architects to incorporate into their daily works. To demonstrate the advantages of standalone software a test study was conducted to find a cost-optimal configuration for a typical residential building. In addition, the obtained cost-optimal design was compared to the energy-optimal design obtained in previous studies and it was seen that the outcomes are in parallel with the results of previous studies. It was observed that the optimum insulation thickness obtained from the case study is significantly higher than the limiting values in the national regulation. The results of the parametric analysis demonstrated that wall type, window area, and window type have the highest influence on thermal performance. The results of the study have confirmed that stand-alone software performs optimizations faster overcomes the shortcomings of simulation-based optimization systems comprising integrated multiple software packages.

    Seyhan Havzası’nda düşük akımların analizi
    (Balıkesir Üniversitesi, 2025-07-15) Baysal, Selman; Yılmaz, Selahattin Utku; Kaçar, Furkan Sencer; Önöz, Bihrat
    Bu çalışmada Seyhan Havzası’nda yer alan istasyonlarda düşük akım analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda kısa, orta ve uzun vadeli kuraklık tespiti için d = 1, 7, 10 ve 15 günlük yıllık ortalama minimum debi değerleri kullanılarak düşük akım frekans analizi yapılmıştır. İki parametreli Log-Normal (LN2), Gamma (G2), Weibull (W2), Üstel (E2), Gumbel (GEV-I), Lojistik (L2) dağılımları ile üç parametreli GEV (GEV-III), Log-Normal (LN3), Pearson Tip III (P3), Log-Pearson Tip III (LP3) ve Genel Lojistik (GL3) dağılımları kullanılarak farklı dönüş aralıklarına sahip düşük akım tahminleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) uygunluk testi ile farklı istatistiksel dağılımların mevcut zaman serilerine uygunluğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen düşük akımlardaki eğimin (trend) belirlenmesi için Mann-Kendall (MK), Trend-Free PreWhitening (TFPW) ve yenilikçi trend analizi (ITA) testleri uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada altı farklı istasyon ölçümleri kullanılarak elde edilen bulgular, Seyhan Havzası’nda en iyi tahminlerin LN2, P3, GEV-III ve LN3 dağılımları ile elde edildiğini göstermiştir. Seçilen anlamlılık düzeyinde üç istasyonda azalan trend bulunmuş olup, anlamlı bir trend tespit edilemeyen diğer istasyonlarda ITA testleri ile azalan bir eğilim belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda, bu istasyonlarda özellikle son 10-15 yıllık süreçte ölçülen debilerin önemli miktarda azaldığı ve dolayısıyla küresel iklim değişikliği de göz önüne alındığında kuraklık riskinin olabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
