In this study, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method was used to model sloshing response of a rectangular tank subjected to horizontal earthquake base excitation. An experiment and a numerical study with ANSYS ...

This paper presents results obtained by numerical study of sloshing effects in medium sized rectangular tanks subjected to a long-period seismic excitation. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used, and ...

Sıvı depoları; başlıca yakıt, endüstriyel kimyasallar, kullanma ve yangın söndürme suyu depolamakta kullanılan önemli mühendislik yapılarıdır. Sıvı depolarını depremin zarar verici etkilerinden korumayı hedefleyen yeni ...

This paper reports the findings of a study, conducted with second year students of civil engineering enrolled in the course of Engineering Mechanics at the Civil Engineering Department of Istanbul Kultur University, ...

This study presents the response of reinforced concrete slabs in building structures exposed to blast loads. The mid-span displacements, support rotations, and damage patterns were investigated for a varying charge mass ...

Cylindrical offshore storage tanks are mainly used to store critical liquids such as petroleum and LNG. Failure of these tanks after an earthquake not only results in high financial losses but can also create an environmental ...

This paper presents the results of a dynamic investigation with the aim of determining both the optimal shape of an offshore gravity platform column and the required mass of the infill water The natural frequency formulation ...

This paper addresses the snow induced collapse of hail protection canopies of a major car dealership in Istanbul, Turkey. Each of them with different plan dimensions has been built to provide an enclosed space of over ...
