This study focuses mainly on the normal stresses that are caused by applied forces. As a case study, the present work aims at investigating the bi-dimensional contact mechanics of wavy cosinusoidal anisotropic finite planes. To achieve this objective, results on the displacement and stress component are first calculated with the help of the Lekhnitskii formalism.

this paper focuses on the adhesion failure between the asphalt wearing course and the steel plate, and the temperature influence on the mechanical behavior of the orthotropic deck. Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSBDs) have been widely used in long span bridges with many advantages, however, the long-term performance of the asphalt wearing course is still questionable.

Wood, an environmentally friendly construction material, is characterized by a critical attribute that significantly influences its mechanical properties and durability: its moisture absorption behavior. This study expands upon an existing one-dimensional model to develop an innovative two-dimensional numerical framework for simulating moisture propagation within wood.

A truss model supplementing the concrete contribution is introduced in this paper to predict the shear strength of concrete beams reinforced with various types of FRP bars. The contributions from truss and direct strut mechanisms are considered in the analytical model. The truss model which has struts at various angles considering concrete contribution is derived in this paper.

The scope of this work is threefold: (i) to develop a new model within the framework of hydro-mechanical – damage coupling that can account for the coupling between microcrack (damage), water diffusion and shrinkage at stake for concrete secondary creep; (ii) to implement it in an existing hydro-damage lattice model; (iii) to validate the model with respect to the flexural creep of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Mortars under high sustained load level.

The aim of this study was to investigate the photocatalytic activity improving of TiO2, Ag-TiO2 as photocatalysts which immobilized on perlite granules to degrade MB from synthetic wastewater under solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic mechanisms induced by solar light responsive Ag-TiO2/perlite composite was also proposed to demonstrate the photodegradation of MB cationic dye.

Polyurethane (PU) thin films quickly degrade under the presence of oxygen, vapor, temperature, and ultraviolet irradiation. Thus, efforts have been dedicated to improving the properties of PU films. This study presents a simple synthesis route to prepare PU embedded with CeO2-SiO2 nanocomposites (CS NCs).

NW Iran-SE Turkey is a tectonically active zone related to the Arabia-Eurasia convergence, but the active stress state in this zone has not yet been clearly studied. To improve the knowledge of present-day stress state in this region, optimum reduced stress tensor was analysed. For this, a large number of earthquake focal mechanisms (277) were collected. The analyses show most mechanisms exhibit strike-slip to thrust faulting. These data indicate that this region is dominated by an N158° maximum horizontal compressive stress (SHmax) belonging to a transpressional tectonic regime.

Understanding the tectonic mechanism generated by the earthquakes and faults is possible only if the preseismic, coseismic and postseismic crustal deformation related to the earthquakes is determined properly. By the analysis of continuous GPS (CGPS) coordinate time series, it is possible to estimate the crustal deformation. Besides, accelerometer records at strong motion stations (SMSs) may support the CGPS-based estimates.

Isotopic and thermochronological data were recently obtained from the footwall of the Büyük Menderes detachment ranges from 29.0±1.9 Ma (ZFT) to 1.6±0.2 Ma (Ap U-Th/He), and they can be grouped in three different time intervals. These results are well explained by the Alaşehir type-rolling hinge mechanism, which suggests active rotated initial normal fault during successive normal fault development of the graben formation.

A Mw 6.8 earthquake struck Western Turkey and Eastern Greece that occurred on October 30, 2020 in Kuşadası Gulf. The earthquake epicentre is located north of Samos Island and the focal mechanism solution shows that a normal fault was reactivated. The main shock and aftershock analysis imply that the large earthquake occurred on a north dipping normal fault which might be the western continuation of the Efes Fault in Western Turkey.

: Fluid vents in the Sea of Marmara were discovered and investigated by several studies. In this paper, a numerical model is created for the first time to determine the possible transport mechanism behind those fluid emissions at the seafloor. The finite volume method is used for numerical simulations by implementing a commercial finite volume code, ANSYS-Fluent. The thermal and physical rock properties used in our models are taken from previous studies.

A geological interpretation of the faulting mechanism is also proposed. The existence of a new unknown source in an intermontane area is problematic. The role of inherited alpine structures seems more important today than in the past. The strike of the two new seismogenic sources, responsible for the two strongest events of the 2021 earthquake succession, differs from the previously known active faults. This forces us to reconsider older views on the direction of development of active faults and the orientation of the stress field.
