Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Reliability-Based Evaluation of Scouring Around Dual Bridge Piers(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2019) Yilmaz, Meric; Calamak, Melih; Yanmaz, A. MelihThe causes of uncertainty involved in temporal variation of the depth of cavern formation due to clear water scouring at dual piers with tandem arrangement are identified in this study. In an example, the probability of failure induced by scouring around dual piers is estimated for various pier spacing using probabilistic analysis. The effects of changes in the coefficient of variation of probabilistic scouring variables and probability distributions on the probability of the loss of stability, are also investigated. It was established that the effects of variations in the coefficient of variation on the probability of the loss of stability are more significant compared to that on the probability distributions of the scour depth.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Evaluation of Masonry Buildings and Mosques After Sivrice Earthquake(Croatian Soc Civil Engineers-hsgi, 2021) Mertol, Halit Cenan; Tunc, Gokhan; Akis, TolgaThe evaluation of masonry and mosque type structures after the Sivrice Earthquake is presented in this study. Stone masonry buildings exhibited damage such as vertical cracks and splitting at corners, wedge shaped corner failures, diagonal cracking on walls, out-of-plane splitting of walls, and separation of walls from flooring/roofing systems. On the other hand, the separation of flags and caps of minarets was a common example of damage in mosques. Future earthquake damage can be prevented by following design codes and providing adequate supervision for new structures, while strengthening measures are recommended for the existing buildings.
