Abstract: Istanbul, the only city that straddles two continents, Europe and Asia, is one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world with over thirteen million residents. The demand for transportation in Istanbul has been boosted ...

Abstract: Compaction of hot mix asphalt after the laydown process is one of the critical steps of construction affecting the service performance of asphalt concrete. It is known that compaction is controlled by a number of mix design ...

Abstract: In this technical note, a thin circular plate resting on a two-parameter (Pasternak-type) foundation is studied under concentrated central and distributed loads. The governing equations of the plate are derived for static ...

Abstract: Reduced-scale shaking table testing is a useful tool for understanding the seismic behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced soil walls. This paper presents the results from a series of reduced-scale shaking table tests on eight ...

Abstract: In this study, the contact problems of thin films and cover plates are considered. In these problems, the loading consists of any one or combination of stresses caused by uniform temperature ...
