Yayın An experimental study on RC beams shear-strengthened with Intraply Hybrid U-Jackets Composites monitored by digital image correlation (DIC)(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-08-22) Çakır, Ferit; Aydın, M. Raci; Acar, Volkan; Aksar, Bora; Akkaya, Hasan CemReinforced concrete (RC) beams are commonly strengthened using steel stirrups, but these materials have limitations such as added weight and susceptibility to corrosion. Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) offer a promising alternative to steel stirrups with high mechanical performance, low density, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals. In particular, Intraply Hybrid Composites (IRCs), which comprise multiple fibers oriented in different directions within a single matrix, have recently gained attention in the construction industry. Cakir et al. [1] investigated the use of three types of IRCs (Aramid-Carbon (AC), Glass-Aramid (GA), and Carbon-Glass (CG)) for strengthening 2-meter-long RC beams (the ratio of shear span (a) to effective depth (d) equals 3 (a/d = 3)) against shear fractures. In this study, the effects of these IRCs on the shear strength of 1.5-meter-long RC beams (a/d = 2) without transverse reinforcement were examined. In this scope, four-point bending tests were conducted on the beams after U-shaped IRC strengthening, and the impact of IRCs on shear strength was evaluated using both digital image correlation and classical measurement equipment such as strain gauges and linear variable differential transducers. The maximum load measured in RC1.5 was 194.50 kN, while the ultimate load capacity reached 265 kN in AC1.5, 246 kN in GA1.5, and 229 kN in CG1.5 after strengthening, representing increases of 36%, 26%, and 18%, respectively, compared to RC1.5. Additionally, the maximum mid-span deflections were determined as 30.40 mm, 16.10 mm, 22.20 mm, and 36.40 mm for RC1.5, AC1.5, GA1.5, and CG1.5, respectively. Moreover, the experimental results were compared with the predictions obtained from the international codes. It should be noted that the failure modes of RC beams are directly affected by the type of IRCs used, highlighting the significant contribution these materials can make to the structural behavior of RC beams.Yayın Drought analysis based on nonparametric multivariate standardized drought index in the Seyhan River Basin(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025-05) Terzi, Tolga Barış; Önöz, BihratDrought is a detrimental natural hazard that is a threat to the social and ecological aspects of life. Unlike other natural hazards, drought occurs slowly and gradually, making it difficult to detect its formation, leading to severe consequences in the affected area. Therefore, precise and reliable monitoring of drought is crucial to implement effective drought mitigation strategies. Drought indices are significant tools for drought monitoring; single variable indices are quite frequently used in the literature to assess drought conditions. Although these indices are generally accurate at characterizing the specific type of drought they were developed for, they fail to provide a comprehensive representation of drought conditions. Hence, this study applies a nonparametric multivariate standardized drought index (MSDI) that integrates meteorological and hydrological drought to investigate the dynamics of drought events within the Seyhan River Basin (SRB). Trend analyses were conducted to detect any directional changes in the drought patterns within the SRB. Additionally, this study examined the potential effects of El Nino-Southern Oscillation events on the MSDI series to determine their impact on drought conditions in the SRB. The results indicate that the MSDI outperforms the single variable indices in characterizing drought conditions within the basin. The calculations conducted for 5 different time scales 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12-months showed satisfactory results in multivariate analysis of drought. Upon examining the trend analyses, MSDI series showed an insignificant negative trend in all stations within the SRB. The MSDI series was strongly influenced by Nino 3.4 and Arctic Oscillation (AO) indices while sunspot activities had a relatively weak impact on the MSDI series.
