Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Schmidt Hammer methods, being non-destructive testing (NDT), carry certain limitations and may also yield different results due to factors originating from the concrete's microstructure. In this study, strength measurements were performed using both methods on produced mixtures, taking into account some frequently changed concrete parameters in practice, and the...
Today, with increasing urban life and the isolation brought about by digitalization, the number of physical and mental illnesses is rapidly increasing. Furthermore, the fact that the proportion of disabled individuals in the global population is approximately 16%, and in Turkey it is at 10-13% level, clearly demonstrates the need for innovative, inclusive, and accessible landscape designs that...
This study investigates the long-term mechanical performance of high-strength steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) incorporating calcined boron waste with increased amorphous content. Calcined waste was used as a partial cement replacement at ratios of 5%, 10%, and 15% to prepare the mixtures. The mechanical behavior was monitored over a three-year period through compressive, flexural, and...
The rapid population growth in urban areas, increasing construction, and the rise in flood events due to climate change are altering the quality and quantity of water resources. Therefore, rainwater management in cities has become a multi-dimensional planning and resilience issue. The increasing fragility of water resources in cities further complicates urban rainwater management. Nature-based...
