Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 19Interaction Between Assembled 3d Honeycomb Cells Produced From High Density Polyethylene and a Cohesionless Soil(Sage Publications Ltd, 2012) Gurbuz, Ayhan; Mertol, Halit CenanAssembled 3D high-density polyethylene honeycomb cells, providing confinement to arrest spreading of the soil in cells and creating relatively stiff bed that redistributes footing pressure over wider area, were used in the present study to enhance load-carrying capacity and to reduce settlement of base materials under a foundation. The effects of various test parameters including width, height, number of layers of the 3D honeycomb cells, vertical distance between layers of the cells and depth of stress zone of the foundation were studied. The test results indicated that considerable improvement in the load-carrying capacity (congruent to 3.0) and reduction in settlement of the foundation (congruent to 62%) were obtained with the implementation of the single layer of the 3D cells into cohesionless soils. The optimum effective distance between two layers of the 3D cells was 0.142 times the width of foundation, the ratio of effective width of 3D cells to the foundation was about 4.2 and the depth of influence stress zone of the foundation was about two times the width of the foundation.Conference Object Improvement of Mechanical Performance in Different Concrete Applications Through Use of Steel Fibers(International Committee of the SCMT conferences, 2016) Baran,E.; Mertol,H.C.; Akis,T.The use of steel fibers improves the brittle characteristics of concrete and provides superior mechanical performance compared to the conventional concrete. Remarkable increase in tensile strength and flexural toughness is obtained when steel fibers are used in conventional concrete, mainly due to the crack arrest effect of these fibers. The use of waste materials, such as scrap tires as a source of steel fibers, as well as the resulting increase in service life and the savings in the life cycle cost make the steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) a sustainable construction material. From this perspective, SFRC offers a strong potential for a more sustainable and more economical alternative to conventional concrete. This paper presents examples of how the addition of steel fibers improves the mechanical performance in two different concrete applications: (1) bond behavior of prestressing strands and (2) flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams. The first part of the study aimed at investigating the variation in bonding mechanism of prestressing strands when used in plain concrete and in SFRC. Pullout tests were conducted on 12.7 mm diameter prestressing strands embedded in SFRC blocks with four different fiber concentrations. This way, the applicability of the available transfer length and development length formulas for prestressing strands embedded in SFRC was investigated. In the second part of the study, flexural behavior of SFRC beams with various levels of flexural reinforcement ratio was studied. The aim was to identify the influence of steel fibers on the mechanical response of lightly and relatively heavily reinforced SFRC beams. The response of SFRC beams and the companion plain concrete beams were evaluated based on the moment capacity, deformation capacity, and service stiffness. © 2016 International Committee of the SCMT conferences.

The maximum measured peak ground accelerations for the two ground motions were 0.18g and 0.25g, respectively. The earthquakes resulted in various levels of damage to RC moment-resisting frame buildings ranging from minor cracking in brick partition walls to total collapse. This paper summarizes the field observations of the Atilim University Reconnaissance Team carried out in the region a few days after the two main shocks with an emphasis on the performance of RC buildings. A summary of the evolution of the Turkish seismic design code during the last 35 years is given, followed by an explanation of the behavior of RC buildings during the October 23 and November 9 earthquakes. The deformation types that were commonly observed in the heavily damaged or collapsed RC buildings include plastic hinging in columns attributable to stiffer beams, localization of damage in ground-story columns attributable to changes in the stiffness of the lateral load-resisting system caused by brick partition walls, and shear failure of columns caused by discontinuities in the partition walls adjacent to the columns. Poor concrete quality, inadequate development and lap splice length for reinforcement, and inadequate confinement in columns also contributed to the poor seismic behavior.Article Citation - Scopus: 19Creep and shrinkage behavior of high-strength concrete and minimum reinforcement ratio for bridge columns(Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2010) Mertol,H.C.; Rizkalla,S.; Zia,P.; Mirmiran,A.This paper summarizes the findings of an extensive research program that examined the shrinkage and creep behavior of high-strength concrete (HSC) up to a strength of 18 ksi (124 MPa). Creep and shrinkage strains of 60 specimens were monitored for up to two years. The variables considered in this investigation were the concrete compressive strength, specimen size, curing type, age of concrete at loading, and loading stress level. Research findings indicate that the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications could be used to estimate the creep coefficient and shrinkage strain of HSC up to 15 ksi (103 MPa). However, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications do not provide appropriate predictions for concrete compressive strength greater than 15 ksi (103 MPa). A revised time-development correction factor is proposed to obtain better predictions for HSC up to 18 ksi (124 MPa). For HSC compression members, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications require an excessive amount of minimum longitudinal reinforcement to account for the long-term effects due to shrinkage and creep. Based on an analysis, a new relationship is proposed for the required minimum reinforcement ratio.Article Citation - WoS: 100Citation - Scopus: 114Flexural Behavior of Lightly and Heavily Reinforced Steel Fiber Concrete Beams(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2015) Mertol, Halit Cenan; Baran, Eray; Bello, Hussain JibrilFlexural behavior of lightly and heavily reinforced steel fiber concrete beams was investigated. The test series consisted of 20 singly reinforced beams having 180 x 250 x 3500 mm dimensions. The main parameters in the testing program were the type of concrete and the amount of longitudinal reinforcement. Ten different longitudinal reinforcement ratios (with a minimum of 0.2% and a maximum of 2.5%) covering the range from under-reinforced to over-reinforced beam behavior were used in the testing program. Two specimens were cast for each longitudinal reinforcement ratio, one specimen using conventional concrete (CC) and another specimen using steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Load-deflection behaviors were obtained and evaluated in terms of ultimate load, ultimate deflection, service stiffness, post-peak stiffness, and flexural toughness. The results indicate that the use of SFRC increases the ultimate load and service stiffness of the beams slightly compared to that of CC specimens. As reinforcement ratio increases, the ultimate deflection of SFRC specimens becomes significantly greater than that of CC specimens. For over-reinforced sections, the post-peak stiffness of the SFRC specimens is observed to be significantly lower than that of CC specimens. The flexural toughness of SFRC specimens is greater than that of CC specimens with the difference being significantly larger for over-reinforced sections. Experimental load-deflection relationships were also compared to the load-deflection curves obtained from sectional analyses based on strain compatibility and best fit stress-strain relationships for SFRC in tension and compression.
