Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatih Sütcü's New Book Has Been Published

The book titled "Seismic Isolation and Response Control", co-authored by ITU Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering faculty member Assist. Prof. Dr. Fatih Sütcü, has been published by IABSE (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering).

Earthquake Resistance of Different Wall Constructions is Tested

Within the scope of the project, three full-scale specimens representing infill wall applications in reinforced concrete structures will be tested under in-plane and out-of-plane loads.

Utilization of Industrial By-Products are Tested for Use on Highways

In today's world, beneficial reuse of industrial by-products in civil engineering applications is of significant importance. For our developing country, highway constructions are a valuable one of those applications. In particular, use of industrial by-products in highway drainage systems as an alternative material for natural aggregate is a popular research topic. In this study, industrial byproducts with different physical and chemical characteristics have been subjected to an extensive laboratory testing program to determine the physical impacts when used in highway drainage systems for filtration purposes.

Fire Evacuation Simulation is Performed on the Digital Model of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Building

The purpose of the Building Information Modelling Based Fire Evacuation Simulation (YBIMS) project is to virtualize the human behaviors, environment and process steps during a fire evacuation to improve the decision making process for fire evacuation scenarios. All stages, methods and the conceptual model will be tested at the Istanbul Technical University, Civil Engineering Building.

Solutions to Traffic Problems are Produced with Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Technologies

The proposed study, supported in part through TUBITAK 1001 Programme with around USD95000 of budget, concentrates on explicitly analyzing the effects of cooperative vehicle dynamics in traffic flow in the purpose of proposing an overall frame for modeling, simulation and management of mixed traffic that is set with the integration of a traffic flow model and a control approach.

Researching New Hybrid Treatment Technology for Wastewater Treatment

Within the scope of the project, it is planned to increase the efficiency of the membrane system by combining the MBR system and the IFAS system into a single system. In this direction, by using the film fixation feature offered by IFAS, filtration with low AKM in the membrane tank will increase the fluxes.

New Liquefaction Mitigation Technique, Induced Partial Saturation (IPS), is Investigated

In the scope of this research, liquefaction response of sand sites under an existing superstructure and mitigated by IPS will be investigated through numerical modeling, and the analysis of the behavior will be also explored under cyclic simple shear strains. Formulation of a mathematical methodology/model is aimed to predict excess pore water pressure ratio and volumetric strain in partially saturated sands in free field or under a structure during earthquake motions.
