Silos are special structures subjected to many different unconventional loading conditions, which result in unusual failure modes. Failure of a silo can be devastating as it loss the container, contamination material contains, material, cleanup, replacement costs, environmental damage, and possible injury or life. Silo damage failures that occurred regions world presented paper using illustrative photos. Also provided review discussion common spectacular due explosion bursting, asymmetrical...

Seismic damage and vulnerability of five historical masonry structures surveyed after the 1999 Kocaeli Duzce, Turkey earthquakes are discussed in this paper. The located two neighboring cities that have been struck by very large (<TEX>$M_s{\geq}7.0$</TEX>) during <TEX>$20^{th}$</TEX> century alone. Older mosques with arches domes their minarets (slender towers) were among most affected highly seismic region. While some religious had virtually no damage, suffered significant or collapsed. In...

There are three major fault zones in Turkey scattered around the country known as East Anatolian Fault (EAF), North (NAF) and Anatolian-Aegean Subduction Zone (AASZ). Last two decades, EAF has been rather quiescent compared with NAF. However, this quiescence was broken beginning of millennium. The strong shaking started 2003 Bingöl earthquake (Mw = 6.3) last on is Sivrice-Elazığ 6.8) January 24, 2020. Strong seismicity these faults damaged structures severely caused death habitants. This...

Lime-based mortars, frequently used in historic structures, are classified as hydraulic and non-hydraulic according to how they gain strength. In the past, various methods were improve strength durability properties of lime-based mortars such Khorasan mortar. Today, studies carried out increase effects binders, aggregates, additives, which basic components mortar, examined. this study, mechanical mortar mixtures, restoration historical examined under influence different parameters....

Türkiye’de meydana gelen ve asrın felaketi olarak adlandırılan 6 Şubat Depremleri 11 ilde 50 binden fazla can kaybına 40 bin civarında yapının yıkılmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, ana depremin yanında ardışık artçı depremleri de dikkate alarak, beton dayanımı üzerindeki etkilerini irdelemektir. Diğer taraftan ülkemizde özellikle depremde enkaz haline gelmiş binalardan alınan karotların deneye tabi tutulması sonucu elde edilen dayanım değerleri ile proje betonunda öngörülen...

Many historical and new masonry minarets were damaged or collapsed during the 1999 earthquakes in Kocaeli Duzce, Turkey. These other recent not only caused loss of property but also many lives. The structural failures resulting casualties have led to discussion investigation potential reasons for poor seismic performance minarets. primary goal this study is review construction practices Turkey discuss damage observed those structures. architectural properties contemporary Ottoman their...

The dynamic response characteristics of a rectangular fluid container are investigated by using finite element method. is assumed to be linear-elastic, inviscid and compressible. A displacement-based was employed allow for the effects fluid. typical container, which used in recent studies, considered numerical analysis. North-South component El Centro Earthquake records as input ground acceleration. Rigid flexible containers solutions obtained chosen sample tank. Hydrodynamic pressures...

Historical masonry mosques are the most important structures of Islamic societies. To estimate static and dynamic behavior these historical structures, an examination their restoration studies is very important. In this study, Kara Mustafa Pasha Mosque, which was built as a domed mosque by between 1666-1667 in Amasya, Turkey, has been analyzed. This study investigates structural architectural features mosque. order to determine specific mechanical properties, compression three-point bending...

Reinforced concrete buildings suffered significant damage in the region affected by 29 May 2011 earthquake Simav (Kutahya), Turkey. Typical building is classified and potential causes of are investigated. moment resisting frames with hollow brick infill walls most common structural system around city center while masonry construction rural areas. Although earthquake, a magnitude 5.7 to 5.9, can be as moderate many experienced varying from frequent diagonal cracking brittle failure collapse...
